I don't remember if he was suspended, or just sanctioned (he had tremendous power at ABC), but what he actually said while commenting on a track and field event was, "Look at that monkey run!" as a black American was pulling ahead.
Jimmy the Greek was fired for his comments about black atheletes and the fact that they were bred for hard labor. If I remember correctly:
a- he was drunk at an event and an interviewer caught up with him
b- he made statements about black athletes not being as capable of competing in events like swimming as opposed to football
c- what he stated was not a scientific or social commentary as much as it was a drunk rambling
