Unreal. She is fired due to an innocent slip of the tongue, but Kendall Gill is only suspended for punching a colleague in the face. I hope she has a case to sue them.

#2Look at her old stuff. You can't really tie your name as a news organization to a woman who has previously done that.
Not fair, but it is what it is in today's world.Comment -

#3Nonsense. The 'old stuff' you refer to has been on Youtube since February 2010. That's how they knew about her in the first place. They don't have internet at Comcast? That's just a pretext. Besides, those videos are comedy. They basically helped launch her career and now it's a problem? I call BS.Originally posted by tto827Look at her old stuff.

#4I agree its BS. But now that those videos are popular, they want to cut ties, and they have the right to do that. Not fair, but she doesn't have a case.Originally posted by d2betsNonsense.

#7They fired her less than 1 day after her slip of the tongue. How much due diligence could they have done?Originally posted by I/OI'm sure the Hawks did their due diligence. She will have no lawsuit.
That guy AJ Clemente curses on air and sounds like a moron, but he gets national coverage and support. The difference here is clear sexism. Another local sportscaster, a male, said 'oyster' and he's still on the air. Gender discrimination.Comment -

Comcast knew about Sports Nutz. Collins boasted about it in her resume before she was hired. It basically helped launch her career, but now suddenly that's why she was fired? Makes no sense whatsoever.Comment -

#12I don't see how should could slip up and say sex though? Clearly that's what she was thinking about. Possibly she hasn't been doing her job properly in the past??? And she was warned? And the sex word was the last straw. Who knows?Comment -

#13You don't see how one could slip up on the word 'success' and say sex? Seems perfectly plausible to me. I do think she was warned for critical comments of the Blackhawks team.

You know it's a bad game when the 1st intermission interview is scrapped. #Yikes
