We know about these infractions....
Aug 2004: Reponds to Steinbrenner's request for former Yankeee,
Sal Fasano, to shave his mustache. "You know Fasano is the type of guy who knows a guy that knows a guy."
Sept 2004: Criticizes Shawn Green for missing a game on Yom Kippur. "He's not even a practicing Jew."
NLDS 2006: Pokes fun of a blind Mets fan for wearing funny-looking glasses. "He's got a digital camera stuck to his face."
ALCS 2006: Fired by Fox Sports for making racially insensitive remarks in reference to
Marco Scutaro while sharing the booth with Hispanic-blooded Lou Piniella. "I still can't find my wallet."
Back in 2002, while on vacation with his family in Hawaii, Lyons asked a woman (staying in the same hotel with her husband) to expose her breasts in the elevator. When she refused, he grabbed her wrists and said, "you know, you've been wanting to do this all day . . . so let's just move over here," dragging her to a dark alcove. One lawsuit and a $175,000 settlement later, the incident still won't go away because Lyons tried to cover some of the settlement with his homeowner's insurance.
Apparently, he has undergone diversity training. Maybe he should take sexual harrassement 101 and a beginner's insurance course.
