Bill Walton facing backlash for ‘deplorable and inexcusable’ use of derogatory term against dwarves


ESPN college basketball analyst Bill Walton has become well known for his colorful commentary, but some think he went too far Thursday night. During halftime of Arizona State’s 77-72 win over USC, Walton used the term “midget” twice when discussing the in-game host in the arena and his broadcast partner. “He does not need a little chair, because he is a giant in a world of shriveling midgets. And speaking of shriveling midgets, what was your name again?” he asked play-by-play announcer Dave Pasch. He is scheduled to call Friday night’s Pac-12 semifinal game between Arizona and Arizona State on ESPN.
