49ers Radio Broadcaster Tim Ryan Suspended for Racist Lamar Jackson Comments

The San Francisco 49ers suspended radio analyst Tim Ryan for one game after he made racist comments about Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, according to the San Francisco Chronicle's Matthias Gafni and Lauren Hernandez.

During a segment on KNBR's Murph and Mac on Monday, Ryan referenced Jackson's skin color and said it benefited him when faking handoffs during games:

"He's really good at that fake, Lamar Jackson, but when you consider his dark skin color with a dark football with a dark uniform, you could not see that thing.
