Career suicide you mean. If you’re ever in a position of responsibility, especially around easily influenced young people where you are charged as their leader, you cannot act like this in any capacity, ever. At ESPN sure, be an A**Hole, but the second you’re head coach of a football team again your credibility is sh*t and you deserve to lose that career over this. It’s self-inflicted.
To think a dummy who says/thinks such things in private can somehow separate himself from these biases in public is laughable, and the reason you can’t have him leading other people.
