"Our marketing department just learned of this casting call today and the campaign is not something we will pursue. The language and approach reflected in that document were not approved by us and in no way represent ESPN or the respect we have for the college community."

So kudos to Brian Powell of Awful Announcing for posting the casting call yesterday.
Thumbs down to Michael Hiestand of USA Today for blatantly leaving out the male and ethnic stereotypes in his print report of the incident today. After all, guys have feelings too!
