Are you freakin' kidding me?

Broadcaster apologizes for sexist remark


Updated Jan 4, 2011 11:41 AM ET
Veteran ESPN broadcaster Ron Franklin has apologized for a comment he made toward a coworker that led tthe cable network to pull him from the air before Saturday's Fiesta Bowl.

"I said some things I shouldn't have and am sorry. I deserved to be taken off the Fiesta Bowl," Franklin said in a statement late Monday.

Franklin was disciplined after he called ESPN sideline reporter Jeannine Edwards "sweet baby" and "a--hole" during an off-air spat, according to several reports.

Franklin and Edwards were scheduled to work together for Friday's Chick-fil-A Bowl, and the incident occurred in a pregame production meeting also attended by ESPN announcers Ed Cunningham and Rod Gilmore.


 
ESPN: THE FIGHT
What started this war of words? Sports by Brooks has all the details.
The conversation turned to the subject of Gilmore's wife, Marie, being elected mayor of Alameda, Calif., and that's reportedly when the confrontation began.

"Listen to me, sweet baby, let me tell you something," Franklin reportedly told her.

“Don’t call me sweet baby, I don’t like being talked to like that,” Edwards responded.

Franklin then said, “OK then, listen to me, a--hole.”

Franklin's comments were reported to ESPN management. Management attempted to pull Franklin from the Chick-fil-A Bowl broadcast, but it was too late to find a replacement.

Franklin was pulled from the Fiesta Bowl broadcast Saturday instead. Franklin, who signed a two-year contract with ESPN last July, apparently will not be disciplined further, an ESPN source told Sports by Brooks.

Sports by Brooks initially reported the incident Sunday. It was confirmed Monday by USA Today.

He should have punched her.

Women must be treated certain way so they learn their place...

one final time for god's sake: women are not men - they don't learn by just speaking to them!

That's the difference between the bodybuilding industry and a real sports industry and sport, the sports industry and sport hold themselves to a higher standard and when they get out of line that could possibly ruin the integrity of the industry they get disciplined. Unlike bodybuilding where you can be a drug dealer, do G4P, have multiple felony convictions and rig contests and nothing will happen!

Quoted for the absolute truth.

Only thing is that Gay-4-Pay isn't anything bad.  It is but merely a way for young, upcoming pros to get sponsorships prior to making it big like Jay Cutler.  The vast majority of IFBB pros have at one time or another taken part in G4P, benefited greatly and walked away from it once they able to support themselves on their own.

The drug dealing, pros with multiple felony counts and contest fixing are certainly things that need to be seen to within the IFBB.
