Didn't know berating someone outside of a job is worthy of suspension, but what an idiot reporter full of herself.

ESPN reporter Britt McHenry has been suspended for a week after video of her berating a towing company employee surfaced online, the company announced on Thursday.

I have the feeling the majority of sports reporters are just as arrogant as her.

But tow truck drivers are the scourge of the earth if they're stealing cars away instead of helping those in need of repair!

Well, if they're "stealing" the cars, then they're criminals.
If you park in a tow away zone, that's on you.

Bingo....and that's just a clerk working for low wages anyway

What a disgusting vile stuck up human being that woman is. She should be fired for that. She didn't just "lose her cool" and curse someone out. She tore that woman down in a despicable snobby manner. She's a blonde bimbo on a news network reading a telepromper. That's her great skill set Easily replaceable.

And I can bet that's not the first time she's done it, this is just that time it's been made public.

When does her "I was misunderstood" statement come out?

She shouldn't be suspended, she should be fired. I'm sure there are thousands of people who can do her job.

She is one of the new "entitled people". Don't we simple folks realize they are superior to us and they should always get what they want ? The rules most of us play by don't pertain to them.

I just ran into one like her tonight coming out of a grocery store. She parked her SUV right where people were coming out of the store so that they had to walk around her vehicle. She wasn't some older, crippled person, she was young and simply didn't care about inconveniencing others.

That's pretty rich coming from a barbie bimbo who is only on TV playing sports reporter because of her boobs and ass. Everyone knows those are her only qualifications, no intellect or skill required.

Looking good in front of a camera and "reading" the sports news is a skill set? HaHa.

This highbrow lowlife showed her true colors berating a cashier at the towing company for doing her job. Total scum bag...ugly character=ugly person.

I have heard all kinds of different reactions to this video from "she should be fired" to "it's no big deal". I can say that living in the Northeast, I hear this kind of people bashing almost every day and it is generally considered acceptable behavior. When I lived in other parts of the country, it was far less common and less accepted.
