The one article I read suggests that Kornheiser was suspended because of his comments about Storm AND Chris Berman which would mean that in fact offensive comments made towards male personalities are treated the same way.
If that is indeed the case and ESPN covered it up by saying it was for 2 reasons then it is slightly less of a fraud.

I don't watch PTI every day but I'm curious if previous events in which Kornheiser has made disparaging remarks (as a joke usually) about ESPN personalities in the past who weren't on the show in person resulted in any sort of a suspension/warning.
