Avast ye mateys! The scurvy announcer of the lasses' soccer match hath been scolded for his foul tongue in a video caught during halftime of the Kansas state championship. Arrr, the lad should stick to announcin' and leave the vulgarities to the sailors!
A high school announcer in Kansas got the boot after he was caught on a hot mic spewing unprofessional and unsuitable comments about players, coaches and parents during a broadcast of a third-place high school girls soccer game in the Kansas Class 4A-1A state championship tournament. The announcer, Toby Moore, was heard making questionable remarks during halftime of the Rose Hill vs. McPherson matchup. Video of Moore's commentary was uploaded to Vimeo but later removed due to copyright infringement claims. Despite this, Awful Announcing posted the video with the permission of a concerned parent, exposing Moore's offensive remarks. Moore criticized the game, expressed frustration with the players' performance, and made lewd comments about "soccer moms" in the stands. Moore's actions resulted in his termination and a statement of apology for his tasteless and inexcusable behavior. NFHS Network, where Moore was contracted, confirmed that he and other individuals involved in the conversation would no longer be affiliated with Kansas postseason games. Moore expressed regret for his actions and sought forgiveness for his hurtful words.
