Sports reporter Emily Austen’s racist insults get her thrown off air

A Fox Sports reporter has been fired for making racist comments about Mexican and Jewish people on a Facebook Live broadcast.

During the 35-minute video, Emily Austen, a sideline reporter for Fox Sports Sun managed to insult everyone from calling basketball star Kevin Love 'a little bitch' to saying Jewish people were 'stingy' and she 'didn't even know that Mexicans were that smart' and the 'Chinese guy is always the smartest guy in the class,'.

Austen appeared alongside three men in the clip, which was streamed live on the Facebook page of Barstool Sports, a sports website.

Later, the video appeared to have been deleted from the Facebook page, but was uploaded elsewhere.

Barstool Sports said the video was accidentally deleted.

In a statement to the Tampa Bay Times, Fox Sports Florida's senior vice president, Steve Tello, said: ‘We were made aware that Emily Austen appeared in a social media video unaffiliated with Fox Sports in which she made insensitive and derogatory comments.

‘She was not speaking on behalf of Fox Sports, nor do we condone any of the statements she made in the video.

‘Emily has been advised that her comments were unacceptable, and she is not scheduled to appear on any upcoming Fox Sports Florida or Fox Sports Sun broadcasts.'
