Bernie Kosar blames losing his broadcasting gig on a disability

Yesterday the Cleveland Browns announced that Solomon Wilcots will replace former Cleveland Brown great Bernie Kosar. Kosar was very good at breaking down the play to play calls.  Kosar then stated he felt the reason he was kicked out of the spot was because of his speech impairment.

“I believe that this decision stems from my slurred speech impairment, which is a direct result of the many concussions I received while playing in the NFL. This is very unfortunate, as I believe my football acumen and ability to describe what is happening on the field, has been well received by Cleveland Browns fans. I love to put the personal touch, the pride in the Browns, and the pride in our Cleveland community into the ride in our Cleveland community into the broadcast. I still bleed Brown and Orange.”

The response from the TV station was that there was no going back, the decision was made, and it was made because as the Browns change the broadcast should change.

That sounds like a sad reason to get rid of a person.  If Kosar plays his cards right, he could win a suit if he truly feels he was fired because of a disability.
