"That guy Beezy, he speaks so well!"
"Wow that Esch is sure...wait is Esch Indian or Arab? Or like from Africa, but like the not so black part? Or somewhere else? How do you pronounce his name again? Wow really? Yeah no way I'm remembering that. Does he have a nickname or something?"
'Wow, Karakand is so cheap. Typical."
If the fans can't help having different expectations of different races, then commentators certainly can't either. That's why a black quarterback who is able to move deftly in the pocket has a lot of "athleticism," while a white QB is clearly showing his "imagination." A hockey announcer might call a Canadian player's lack of toughness for what it is, while chalking another player's wimpiness up to his "European" origins.And since only nonwhite players are expected to be fast and athletic, logically, only white players can be "deceptively fast." Like Toby Gerhart, Harrison Jones, Matt Jones, Brady Quinn or Jordan Shipley. The implication is something like, "It was surprising that he outran that cornerback because his skin color is very light!"Read more: http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-7-most-condescending-sports-euphemisms_p2/#ixzz3ADoYFf1g

My favorite are the ESPN-style sports commentaries. For example for a white guy with some speed and strength they'll say "total gym rat", "hard worker", etc. With hispanics they'll say something about him being a 'firecracker' or a 'free spirit'
