I gather you don't watch PTI because it wasn't like Bob Costas doing something like this on NBC. PTI is like Off the Record sort of. It is a place for personalities to speak their minds and make lots of jokes.
On one episode Kornheiser called coach Ryan of the Jets a fat jerk like 20 times in 1 segment.
If it was said on Sportscenter it would be offensive and unnecessary. This isn't about equality for women it is about ESPN censoring their 2 best personalities.
If you regularly watched PTI you'd know that Kornheiser and Wilbon say worse stuff about people on EVERY single show.

I do regularly watch it - just because some disagrees with you doesn't mean they don't know anything about the topic at hand. I've been watching PTI for years and normally I'm a fan of Kornheiser.
As well no where did I say that you have to be "extra nice" to women - but rather just treat them with the same respect that you would any colleague.
It was a stupid and unprofessional comment from someone that should know better. You don't embarrass a co-worker in front of millions of viewers like that unless they are in on the joke, and by all reports, Storm was not.
