ESPN suspends Tony Kornheiser for remarks about “SportsCenter” anchor Hannah Storm’s attire
February 24, 2010
Informed by current celebrity news, ESPN has put off host Tony Kornheiser as he was presenting his TV talk show “Pardon the Interruption” for two weeks because of remarks he put out on the data lines previous week in relation to “Sports Center” presenter Hannah Storm’s outfits.
Tony Kornheiser publicized the postponement on his Washington D.C. radio cabaret Tuesday break of day, terming his comments in relation to Storm immoderate as well as dim-witted.
As said by Tony Kornheiser, “As the result of this, I have been sent to the sidelines of PTI for a while.”
In a printed statement, ESPN termed Kornheiser’s remarks out of place. “Hurtful and personal comments such as these are not acceptable and have significant consequences,” stated John Skipper, ESPN vice president for matter.
61 years old Tony Kornheiser expressed clothing that 47 years old Storm was dressing in at ESPN previous week being “horrifying.”
As indicated by The Washington Post’s Web site, Kornheiser’s radio remarks incorporated:
“She’s got on red go-go boots and a Catholic-school plaid skirt … way too short for somebody in her 40s or maybe early 50s by now … She looks like she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body … Come on now! Stop! What are you doing?”
Tony Kornheiser told he had summoned Storm to act contrite for the comments.
