Fox baseball analyst Steve Lyons, who was suspended without pay for a game after insensitive remarks he made about the Dodgers' Shawn Green, was allowed by Fox to return for the playoffs without making an on-air apology.
Green, who is Jewish, chose not to play against the Giants on Yom Kippur. On that Oct. 1 telecast, Lyons said that Green had "probably" taken the day off "for the heritage and not the religion."
"He's not a practicing Jew," said Lyons, who will be on Fox for Game 1 of the NLCS in St. Louis. "He didn't marry a Jewish girl. . . . And from what I understand, he never had a bar mitzvah, which is unfortunate because he didn't get the money."
A Dodgers spokesman said via e-mail that Green had not been offended by Lyons' comments.
