- NC State announcer suspended after ‘illegal aliens’ remark
- Gary Hahn has been Wolfpack’s radio voice since 1990-91
A radio play-by-play announcer for No 25 North Carolina State was suspended indefinitely Friday after making a reference to “illegal aliens” while announcing the score of a bowl game in El Paso, Texas, during the Wolfpack’s game against Maryland in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl.
Gary Hahn was disciplined by NC State broadcast rightsholder Learfield Communications. While Hahn was giving the score of the Sun Bowl, he said: “Down among all the illegal aliens in El Paso it’s UCLA 14 and Pittsburgh 6.”
