Synopsis:  marathon.  Sideline reporter makes blatantly racist comment... all other commentators stop talking.  Silence ensues.

The commentators didn't think so.  That's why they wouldn't touch it.

I think it's okay because the comment was innocuous.  Everyone should lighten up a bit on this stuff.  It's all about context.

The funny part is imagining what's happening during the silence.  I imagine the commentator grimacing and quietly pounding his forehead right after saying it, and his partner pointing at him and laughing under his breath.

While some producer cuts him a new cornhole over his earpiece.

I really don't see what he said as "blatantly racist". He offered a reason as to why the lead runner's break from the pack was so effective, it sounded pretty reasonable to me.

"You have to wonder if the Kenyan runners look at a white guy in the lead and take him seriously."
