Bill Walton Drops Derogatory Term For Little People Twice Live On Air

Bill Walton might be the king of out-of-the-box analysis, however he crossed the line while calling a college hoops video game on Thursday … dropping a derogatory word for little people — twice.

The Hall of Famer and broadcaster utilized the m-word when calling the Arizona State vs. USC match … when he was trying to reveal appreciation for the Pac-12 Tournament’s in-game host.

“He does not need a little chair because he is a giant in a world full of shriveling m*****s,” Walton stated throughout halftime.

Walton then relied on his broadcast partner, Dave Pasch, and split a joke … stating, “Speaking of shriveling m*****s, what is your name again?”

Pasch reacted by asking, “What is wrong with you?” He then did his finest to carry on from the uncomfortable interaction to discuss the video game — however Walton disrupted.

“I’m guilty of having fun in Las Vegas, fun with a purpose,” the 6’11” previous center stated … prior to lastly returning to speaking about the contest.

Pasch is heard laughing as Walton goes through his analysis … and fires off a zinger of his own as the focus returns to the video game.

“I don’t know what you consumed at halftime.”

If you’re unknown, the m-word has actually been considered a derogatory slur by the Little People of America, which has actually prompted people to stop utilizing the term.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones discovered himself in hot water also just recently … after utilizing the term on the very first day of his group’s training school in 2015.

The LPA fired off a reaction to Jones at the time … contacting the NFL legend to ask forgiveness. He later on provided a declaration stating he was sorry.
