The Indianapolis Colts released a statement Wednesday saying longtime announcer Bob Lamey resigned Sunday after using a racial slur at work.
The Colts described the nature of Lamey's departure in a statement provided to Bob Kravitz of WTHR (h/t Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith):
"Bob publicly acknowledged that last week he repeated an inappropriate word when telling a story. He immediately apologized to the people who heard him use the word, and then promptly resigned. Bob has a long and storied history in our community, but he made a serious mistake.
