A couple thoughts:
1. unlike the rest of us Schmoes, this guy is an announcer and he's paid to say the right thing (or not to say the wrong thing). He could have said a million things to get his point across and he grabbed the red-hot poker at the hot end. Its his job to not do that.
2. no college sports team is going to be very forgiving of a staff member using racially loaded language. Whatever his intent was, how do you explain this nonsense to visiting parents.
3. For the folks who don't see the problem, I wonder if you'd be willing to show the strength of your conviction? Send an email to everyone at your work comparing an African American to an ape or monkey. Of course do it in the most positive way that you can. I'm sure you'll get a lot of love for not being controlled by political correctness and, no doubt, everyone will love you event more. Please report back on your new hero status.
