Boston is known for being one of the top sports capitals of the world. The city hosts teams like the Boston Bruins, Red Sox, and Celtics. Most people from the Boston area even consider the New England Patriots as their home squad, and Sports Radio host Tony Massarotti may be one of those people.
Massarotti is a relatively well-known name in the Boston area. He hosts a show with co-host Michael Felger on 98.5 The Sports Hub, known as “Felger and Mazz. ” He has recently added to his popularity, but not in a good way.
Massarotti, who has been a member of the Sports Hub since 2009, was talking about Gen Z and explained what he believed the “Z” in the term stood for. Fans were not happy as he used an apparent racial slur.
Tony Massarotti Under Fire For A Second Racist Comment
While in the middle of a conversation about the MLB’s Boston Red Sox, Massarotti said, “I’ve determined, incidentally, that the ‘Z’ stands for ‘zipperhead,’” which was considered a slur against people of Asian descent.
Fans of the show were not happy at all, calling out the radio show host and columnist for his poor use of the word. “How isn’t he fired by the end of his show. That is racist and screaming to be offended is one thing but that is actually straight out racist,” asked one confused fan.

One fan called for Massarotti to “EXILED,” while others were quick to call the host “a dummy,” and ask for the the station to fire the disgraced host. That may not be too far out of the realm of possiblities as this is the second time he’s been under fire for being racist.
Massarotti was first under fire earlier in 2023 when he was caught making a racist joke live on air about black people. He soon apologized for the ordeal, but it may once again come into effect when his job is talked about.
