A day after Colin Cowherd insulted an entire country, saying baseball can’t be too complicated because so many Dominicans are able to play, ESPN announced Cowherd was out at the network.

“Colin Cowherd’s comments over the past two days do not reflect the values of ESPN or our employees,” ESPN said in a statement. “Colin will no longer appear on ESPN.”

Cowherd already had announced plans to leave ESPN and join FOX. Cowherd’s final show on ESPN was scheduled to be next Friday, according to the Sports Business Journal.

“I did not intend to offend anyone w my comments,” Cowherd tweeted Friday. “I realize my choice of words was poor and not reflective of who I am. I am sorry.”

Earlier Friday, an outraged MLB population forced the radio jock into a hasty — and some say insufficient — apology.

“It’s too complex? I’ve never bought into that ‘baseball is too complex.’ Really? A third of the sport is from the Dominican Republic,’’ Cowherd said Thursday on his ESPN radio show, “The Herd.”

The reaction was immediate and visceral. Dominican-born Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista led the players’ contingent, using some vivid imagery in asking Cowherd to explain himself.

MLB joined the chorus, and USA Today reported the rank and file of the players’ union was seeking a formal apology. Dominican players make up approximately 10 percent of MLB rosters.

Cowherd led Friday morning’s show with an apology and an attempted explanation.

“I could have made the point without using one country, and there’s all sorts of smart people from the Dominican Republic,” Cowherd said. “I could have said a third of baseball’s talent is being furnished from countries with economic hardships.

“I understand that when you mention a specific country, they get offended. I get it. I do. And for that, I feel bad. I do … I’m not saying there’s not intelligent, educated people from the Dominican Republic. I cringe at the data, too.’’

ESPN, in the midst of a split with the well-compensated Cowherd, followed his on-air apology with a rather vanilla statement.

“Some of Colin’s comments yesterday referencing the Dominican Republic were inappropriate and do not reflect ESPN’s values of respect for all communities,’’ ESPN said in its statement. “Colin’s on-air response today addressed the importance of making sure his opinions are fact-based and responsible for all people.’’

Cowherd did at least attempt — clumsily — to touch on that aspect on Thursday, when he said: “The Dominican Republic has not been known in my lifetime as having world-class academic abilities. A lot of those kids come from rough backgrounds and have not had opportunities academically that other kids from other countries have.”

But that understandably got lost in the shock of his initial comments, after which nobody wanted to hear any softening or backtracking or explaining.
