    Dan LeBatard suspended by ESPN for trolling Cleveland fans

    BuYSJ0eCIAIlDF3.jpg-large.jpg

    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.

    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.

    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.

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