Dan LeBatard suspended by ESPN for trolling Cleveland fans

[GUMMO77]

He has to sit on the bench for the next two days because he purchased several billiards in the Cleveland/Akron area.

LeBatard said it was “all meant in fun — which, of course, will turn into Cleveland people getting filled with rage, poison and irrational hostility and want to use those billboards as a guillotine. Sports are so great, the more irrational the better. This is a publicity stunt disguised as a movement … It’s just fun anarchy.”

Walt Disney suspends this dude because of a billboard? Did it come out of the company's pocket? Or his own? If he paid for it himself... I don't see anything wrong with it.

But it's ok for Gay Day at Walt Disney. What a joke company this is.

[GUMMO77]

The station he works for paid for it. I'm not sure if that ties in with ESPN or not since he does an hour local before going on-air with ESPN radio.

[kidcudi92]

either way, a 2 day ban...like who the fukk cares. the principle of it is the biggest issue here

[teaserpleaser]

if you are watching ESPN in the afternoon you are either a loser, black or both

Stephen A. Smith gets a few days for making light of a woman getting beat up, and Dan LeBatard gets essentially the same penalty for making a lighthearted joke?

Weird.

Yeah same on them for supporting a minority group that is still target of suppression in america and don't have equal rights in numerous ways.

lol is Stu Gotz suspended to?

[GUMMO77]

lol is Stu Gotz suspended to?

No one from the radio show is working until Dan gets back, but I don't think he was officially suspended.

[GUMMO77]

Also the top of the billboard was written in Comic Sans, a la Dan Gilbert.
