Looks like he got the axe:

ESPN has fired announcer Ron Franklin after he reportedly berated a female colleague.

The network had pulled him from its radio coverage of Saturday's Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, and Franklin issued a public apology Monday.

Sideline reporter Jeannine Edwards wrote in an e-mail to USA Today in response to Internet reports Monday that Franklin called her "sweet baby" in a condescending tone Friday. When she objected, he used a derogatory term. Edwards said a colleague reported the incident to ESPN officials.

"Based on what occurred last Friday, we have ended our relationship with him," ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys said Tuesday.

Franklin had worked for ESPN since 1987, calling primarily college football and basketball. He focused on the Big 12 in recent years.

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!
Also how many of these "real men" would go ape shit if they had a daughter and some dude talked to them like that? Should their daughter STFU? Classic double standard.

In this case, the lady in question is a grown ass woman, and apparently, the asshole had said something about dude's wife...

I've actually got into it with a co-worker who, sista girl, said she was gonn beat my ass---told her to come over and do it--a lot of wolfing---we had a meeting, and she and I are the best of friends now...

I don't think dude should have apologized per se, because it puts into that female co-worker's mind that she get preferitial treatment, and that they can say a little bit more, yet the men can't.

The Judicial system favors women, like it or not. Men can be victims, but we are told to "take it like a man", yet women get shit handed to them--they can cut off a man penis and get away with it. They can throw hot grits on you, and get away with it. They can falsely accuse you of something in a restraining order, and have it served on you at your job, and have your co-workers think you are a creep---and there is nothing you do about it...

What dude should have done, was pick his words wisely...

 That's one good thing about the Arabs. They know how to keep their bitches under control with a heavy pimp hand.

I have dealt with women who were total bitches and had it out with them too, but to talk condescendingly to a female just because you as an individual don't respect them is uncalled for especially if you work at a professional level. What would be cool is to see how many of the puds here really do talk that way to a female at work and not find themselves reprimanded. Bet after that reprimand they either quit or just learn now to pick their words wisely....
Lot of women haters here..............
