ESPN have got a habit of banning employees, and Tony Kornheiser is the latest one to get the ESPN wrath after comments he made about SportCenter anchor Hannah Storm’s outfit.
Kornheiser being the character he is, mocked Storm’s wardrobe by commenting on her “very, very tight shirt,” and said that she looked like she has a “sausage casing wrapping around her upper body.” After these remarks he admits that he is not supposed to be “critical” of any ESPN employee’s but asks Hannah Storm to “stop!” and asks her “what are you doing?”
The Pardon the Interuption host must have realised that he done wrong, and when he appeared on his radio show the next day, he apologised for being a “sarcastic, subversive guy” and called himself a “troll.” He ends the sentence by saying that he has no right to insult what anyone looks like, or what they wear.
ESPN obviously didn’t think the apology was good enough, and still suspended Kornheiser for a few days.
The PTI co-host is very well known for mocking media personalities, as it is part of his character, but do you think that ESPN have done the right thing in suspending him for a few days?
