ESPN suspends Tony Kornheiser for 2 weeks for making inappropiate comments about a unnattractive ESPN female anchor (Kings, Vikings)

[Finger Laker]

I'm not a fan or Kornheiser - however, it's kind of silly for ESPN to suspend him over this and it relates directly to him being a male and storm being a female

the radio personalities take shots at the network and each other all the time - cowherd is constantly taking little pokes at ESPN and their programming, it's pretty common place for the football personalities to bust on what each other is wearing - especially when some ex-nfl guy shows up in his pimp suit

however, when you have the issues over there like steve phillips, harold reynolds and a growing image of a sexist organization and an old boys club they have to be a little more sensitive

TK should have not made those comments.

However, ESPN could not suspend him by stating he was dishonest when making them.

The picture I saw of her ( red socks up to her knees) she resembled a high school cheerleader from a small town in the 50's)

Those cheerleaders were much younger and way more attractive,though.

The Association for Women in Sports Media (AWSM) is a very powerful organization when they want to be. Christine Brennan, at ESPN, is one of the group' founders.
ESPN has been one of the major supporters of AWSM since its beginnings as was the Washington Post where Kornheiser worked with Brennan who was covering the Redskins. That's when she helped established AWSM and was its first President.
He knows better, he did it anyway. He deserves what he got.

Probably because he was bad mouthing a colleague on the air.

Now if he was making fun of someone from Foxsports then it would be ok

She looks like she is into "sophisticated domination"

I love Tony and its sad to see him suspended. But i'll say 2 words that i said about Tiger Woods... WHO CARES?!?!?! Yeah Tony bashed Hannah. He has the right to criticism. Now the time and place that could be questionable but give it a week and it'll be as if he never got suspended
