:stop Rays sideline reporter axed after racist comments in Facebook chat

Emily Austen won't be the sideline reporter for future Tampa Bay Rays games on Fox Sports Florida. Nor will she do that job for the Orlando Magic next season either.

After unleashing a variety of racial and religious jokes during a live Facebook chat with Barstool Sports, Austen has gotten the ax from Fox's regional sports station.

Austen appeared Thursday on Barstool Sports' daily Facebook Live chat and while trying to bro it up with the Bartstool gang, she trotted out stereotypes about Mexicans, Chinese people and Jews, while also name-calling Kevin Love of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Here's a recap from the Tampa Bay Times.

During a 35-minute video with three men, Austen made several controversial comments, among them:

she "didn't even know that Mexicans were that smart.''

How the "Chinese guy is always the smartest guy in math class.''

About how she "used to talk to Jews in Boca'' when she was a server, saying one customer was "stingy'' because he complained about how she poured his beer and that "they would complain and b---- about everything.''



Austen, 27, also referred to Cleveland Cavaliers basketball player Kevin Love as a "little b - - - -.''
