A high school sports announcer has come under fire after being caught making derogatory comments about moms.
Toby Moore, a pundit for The National Federation of State High School Associations Network, made the comments while working at a female high-school soccer game in Kansas.
Leaving his mic on over half time, Moore made a series of controversial comments about the players' performances as well as discussing some of the moms in the crowd.

With Britney Spears song, Toxic, playing in the background, he can be heard speaking to another unnamed person.
In the video - which was sent to Awful Announcing - Moore says: "Was that first half as ugly as I thought it was? That game had no flow whatsoever.
"My mind kind of flicked the 'kill me now' switch about 30 minutes in... if they're just gonna' keep kicking the damn ball out of bounds and missing passes all day I might as well just go home.
"It's like they're not even trying to pass, they're just chucking the ball downfield. A little technique would be nice.

"What are they teaching those kids in practice?"
He continued: "A bonus though of high school soccer, girls soccer for high school, the soccer moms.

"Up top baby... The one who's facing us... I can't see the legs but I can feel the a** hit from here.
"This conversation never happened by the way. We'd get in trouble."
The other person added: "She's got nice curves. Their ages are nice here too."
The recording of the conversation was caught by a parent who shared it with Awful Announcing.

Following the release of the video, Moore shared a statement, explaining: "I would like to apologize to the Rose Hill and McPherson schools, players, coaches, families, and communities for my remarks last Saturday.
"They were tasteless, stupid, and inexcusable. Those comments did not reflect the tremendous season and hard work both sides had during the year. Thank you to KSHSAA and NFHS for allowing me the privilege to call games on their network.
"I sincerely and deeply apologize for my tasteless and hurtful remarks and ask forgiveness from those that were hurt by my words."

According to Awful Announcing, Moore has now been banned from covering KSHSAA events in the future.
People have been left horrified by the comments, with one writing on X: "This is gross."
While another said: "Disgusting."
UNILAD has reached out to the NFHS for comment.
