Boston is known for being one of the top sports capitals of the world. The city hosts teams like the Boston Bruins, Red Sox, and Celtics. Most people from the Boston area even consider the New England Patriots as their home squad, and Sports Radio host Tony Massarotti may be one of those people.

Massarotti is a relatively well-known name in the Boston area. He hosts a show with co-host Michael Felger on 98.5 The Sports Hub, known as “Felger and Mazz. ” He has recently added to his popularity, but not in a good way.

Massarotti, who has been a member of the Sports Hub since 2009, was talking about Gen Z and explained what he believed the “Z” in the term stood for. Fans were not happy as he used an apparent racial slur.

Tony Massarotti Under Fire For A Second Racist Comment

While in the middle of a conversation about the MLB’s Boston Red Sox, Massarotti said, “I’ve determined, incidentally, that the ‘Z’ stands for ‘zipperhead,’” which was considered a slur against people of Asian descent.

Fans of the show were not happy at all, calling out the radio show host and columnist for his poor use of the word. “How isn’t he fired by the end of his show. That is racist and screaming to be offended is one thing but that is actually straight out racist,” asked one confused fan.

One fan called for Massarotti to “EXILED,” while others were quick to call the host “a dummy,” and ask for the the station to fire the disgraced host. That may not be too far out of the realm of possiblities as this is the second time he’s been under fire for being racist.

Massarotti was first under fire earlier in 2023 when he was caught making a racist joke live on air about black people. He soon apologized for the ordeal, but it may once again come into effect when his job is talked about.

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.

Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.

“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.

“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.

“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”

He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.

“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”

Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.

That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.

Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.

The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
