It's a sad day in American when a man gets fired for saying something honest.

political correct is whack.
SPEAK YOUR MIND.
but have a plan B when you get canned by someone trying to please everybody else.

FYI he wasnt fired, just suspended for a week and his status is under review
I think a week off is fair ....... yes it was an innocent no harm intended comment but in his position you just cant say that stuff

11-01-2006, 09:21 AM

ESPNU needs to really rethink their hiring practices. Isn't this the second guy who's been disciplined/fired this season for remarks on air, or was that dolt from the Miama game an employee of a local affiliate?

I wasn't suprised to see ESPN take action on this. I mean, they are, along with ABC, owned by Disney which is run by gays. No brainer there.

What about the word "queer"? Would that get you suspended?
