Last week WEEI midday host, and two time Patriots Super Bowl Champion Christian Fauria was suspended after impersonating Tom Brady’s agent Don Yee on the air when it was revealed that the Herald’s Ron Borges got catfished by a guy pretending to be Yee.
Earlier today I made a horrible attempt at humor. In a segment during the show, I impersonated agent Don Yee in an insensitive and regrettable way. I want to publicly apologize to Don and anyone in the audience who heard it.

I have also reached out to Don directly to personally apologize. I have been disciplined by WEEI management and I fully support their decision.

And as a result WEEI has lost a lot of business from some GUTLESS sponsors:
Two state agencies — the Massachusetts State Lottery and the Massachusetts Health Connector — have pulled ads from WEEI after host Christian Fauria imitated sports agent Don Yee on-air last week in an exaggerated, mocking Asian accent. Yee was born in Sacramento, Calif. Fauria’s offense occurred while mocking a prank that led to Herald sports columnist Ron Borges writing a column that proved to be untrue regarding Tom Brady’s contract negotiations. Yee is Brady’s agent.
The Lottery’s decision to exit resulted in the cancellation of $16,000 worth of upcoming ads for WEEI, a Lottery spokesman said. The Health Connector, which had started ads on WEEI on Jan. 8, pulled ads “due to recent behavior,” according to spokesman Jason Lefferts.
“The governor supports their decision,” said Brendan Moss, a spokesman for Gov. Charlie Baker, of the two agencies’ decisions.
Comcast and City of Boston Credit Union have also stopped advertising on the station. WEEI did not comment.
Yup. The freaking LOTTERY is claiming the moral highground over a radio station. This is a direct quote from State Treasurer Deb Goldberg:
“I strongly condemn this behavior and others like it that perpetrate racism, and are completely contrary to the kind of inclusive society we believe in,” state Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg said in a statement.
This is hilarious. The lottery is a state sanctioned gambling and racketeering outlet. They make billions of dollars by preying on dumb, often poor people, who they convince to waste their limited income on scratch tickets and Keno by giving them the illusion that one day they will be a big winner. Thus these people get stuck in cycles of poverty and continue to rely on hacks like Deb Goldberg for government handouts.
But please Deb, tell me more about how your number one concern right now is how a radio station is “perpetuating racism,” when the lottery disproportionately targets people of color. Tell me more about this “inclusive” society you want to live in where poor people remain poor because they invest in four #22’s and three quick pics every morning instead of their kid’s college fund. Because
Guess where people aren’t buying lottery tickets? Acton, Sherborn, Weston, Wayland, Sudbury. Those people have no reason to buy scratch tickets and they’re smart enough to know a scam when they see one. But there’s plenty of sales in New Bedford, Worcester, Brockton, and Lynn though. Ya know, places that have diversity.
And where do all the proceeds go? Well, according to an audit most of it is funneled back into wealthy communities. Wealthy WHITE communities. So the impoverished and people of color are essentially being preyed upon by people like Deb Goldberg, they blow what little money they have, and then that money goes to Sudbury. But yea, WEEI is the racist one because Christian Fauria did a Don Yee impression. For sure.
The rest of the money goes to useless suits who pay themselves six figure annual salaries to oversee this gigantic state-sanctioned racketeering enterprise:
Of course corruption might as well be Deb Goldberg’s middle name. This is a woman who used her power to attack Nashoba Wineries in Bolton because they didn’t contribute to her campaign. She took away the family farm’s license, but yet the dozens of liquor stores, restaurants, and distributors who donated heavily to her campaign got to keep theirs.
And these pieces of human garbage try to pretend like they’re crusaders of justice and arbiters of morality. Hilarious.
I’m just so sick of advertisers backing away from businesses because it’s easier for them to give into a mob of SJWs than it is to stand up for freedom of speech. It’s time to start boycotting companies that do shit like this. I’d boycott the lottery but I’m smart enough to invest my money in an IRA instead of a scratcher. I’d boycott Mass Health Connector but I don’t need government subsidized insurance to make ends meet. I’d boycott Comcast but I’m doing that already by using Direct TV. And I’d boycott Boston Credit Union, if only they were around Worcester.
I’ll continue to listen to WEEI in the morning because they’re pretty much the last remaining media outlet that isn’t afraid to push boundaries and TRIES not to cave to politically correct mobs. It’s important to let organizations like this know that we outnumber these nutjobs, and we appreciate the product they provide.

Those who piss away their money on lottery tickets are the ones who can least afford to do so. Interesting how gambling is illegal unless the government has a hand in it.
Scrub a dub? Scrub a dub dub dub????
The real problem here that people should be pissed about is the state is paying for advertising with OUR FUCKING TAX DOLLARS!
Typical state, hypocrital poseurs. The state is worse than one thinks. Now they have morals, when they have a audience of course.
Well this is picking up some steam. Just before noon The Big O read a memo from the higher ups that all “on air personalities” would under go a day long training on sensitivity. No live programming on Friday. More blah, blah, blah in the memo about no room for hurt feelings.
Read about the Bhutan Death March and Fauria will be exonerated.
No ticky no shirT
lol sorry libtards – making fun of gook chinks is hilarious. fauria deserves a raise.
Oh herro! Is me, Missa Don Yee! Me love you long time! Oh ching chang chong ching mooshi mooshi wong ting chan ho! Oh me so solly! Ching chang chong!
DeDe hit the lottery when TB picked a fight with her. Now she has his FB presence and his SmartPhone app scalps on her belt — right next to his cajones… Snicker.
Your cojones are going to be up in your throat the next time you get pulled over leaving the Trophy Room. Hope your car still has current insurance.
Snicker.
Someone is crushing on me!!! Those latent tendencies that most cops try to tamp down with the jodhpurs and the combat boots and the pickup truck are failing in your case, sweetie. Stop being a tease and buy me that cosmo that you keep promising. You know you want to!
Sure! I can pick you up right before last call.
WHY can’t Kars for kids pull their ads? Annoying pissants!
I would make the band write “I will not misspell ‘cars’ on television and humiliate myself” 100 times and say 10 Tom Bradys.
Why you want beef and brokkori now?
Oh, thassa reeeery funny, smar guy.
Here TB….if you want to do a piece exposing the lottery for the thieves they are…..ask them about their $20 scratch ticket called “billion dollar bonanza”…..
This ticket is no longer available; and hasn’t been for several months but people have only until March 2018 to cash their tickets…..
But according to the Lottery Website; there are 2 ten million dollar winners still not claimed; and 34 1 Million dollar winners not claimed….
WHERE ARE THESE TICKETS MASS LOTTERY? You mean to tell me 36 people “threw away” jackpot winning tickets?
I boycotted Macy’s when they stripped the shelves of Trump’s clothing brand. They have the right to do it, but I have the right to never give them another dime.
How does the lottery “disproportionately target people of color”? Is it the lottery’s problem that some groups of people are dumb enough to blow their whole paycheck on lotto tickets?
Does the lottery promise people of color better odds or something and don’t deliver? They don’t target anybody except people who either like to gamble or have a gambling problem…..those people can be white, black, asian or anything else.
What a stupid blog
Statement 1: Stupidity is a prevalent cause of poverty.
Statement 2: Black people are overwhelmingly poor.
Statement 3: Poor people blow their money on the lottery.
Conclusion: ____________________________________ .
The state lottery is effectively a regressive tax that targeting the elderly and the poor. Ironically the most liberal states have the highest per capita lottery purchases with Massachusetts being #1 in the country. The state lottery exists first and foremost to fund the bureaucracy that controls it. This is the real reason why Massachusetts fought for so long to keep private gaming out.
Massachusetts bureacrats made every effort to keep private gaming and job creation out in order to protect and grow their own corrupt empire.
So Boston CU is claiming the high ground? They use the Boston College fight song in their ad. When I (a donating BC alumnus) asked whether The Trustees Of BC (copyright holder) was paid for its use, everyone pointed to the guy in their right. Can they prove they aren’t thieves? Fauria has proven he’s anything but a racist.
Deb Goldberg will have an opponent in November. Everyone should know that and vote for the opponent. Goldberg is another SJW and should be voted out.
I voted against Goldberg last time because she said she would make state investments in Planned Parenthood while persecuting pro-life businesses. So much for a constitutional officer who’s only authorized to sign the checks on behalf of the Commonwealth.
