Boston sports radio host Tony Massarotti apologized for a racially insensitive joke on air, calling his comments “hurtful” in an apology on Monday.
Massarotti went on to say that he was attempting “poke fun” at Felger as “an inside joke” after the hosts claimed that Felger had his car stolen in New Orleans in the fall.
“The only thing I can really do is apologize for it,” Massarotti continued. “Again, when we’re talking about these sorts of issues, there is a line somewhere, and I can assure you, I stand on the right side of it. That doesn’t excuse what I said or did on Friday. “I meant, if anyone cares, to poke fun at you, Mike. It didn’t come off that way. It came off as something far broader and ignorant. I’m regretful of that.”

I sincerely apologize and I will do my best to make sure that it never happens again.”“I knew it was wrong the moment it went out and I could have stopped the show,” Felger said.
