Former Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Joe Staysniak received a one-week suspension without pay from WFNI Radio in Indianapolis on Friday for racist comments he made Wednesday, per Dana Hunsinger Benbowof theIndianapolis Star.
Staysniak, co-host of the Fan Morning Show with Jeff and Big Joe, said black people needed to stop "being a victim" and he finds it "harder and harder to believe [black people] are being targeted" by police, per Hunsinger Benbow.
His co-host, Jeff Rickard, addressed the situation during Friday's show.
"Joe, quite frankly, had statements that were very insensitive to a lot of the folks that are out there fighting for their rights and feel like their voices have not been heard," he said.
