I know that ESPN has historically overreacted to these type of things in the past but it is unfortunate that they took this stand in this situation.

Hopefully, Kornheiser comes back and doesn't change at all because he did nothing wrong in this situation.
Hey, do you hear that? It's the 1950's calling you back.

Wow.

Pretty clear cut, way-over-the line comments in any credible workplace today.

If you don't believe, go out and give it a try. Good luck with your employer-mandated remedial training, that is if you keep your job.

And he knows it:

Apparently aware that his crude cracks weren't a smart career move, Kornheiser opened the next day's broadcast of "Pardon the Interruption" by cravenly apologizing.

"I apologize, unequivocally," said the former Washington Post columnist and "Monday Night Football" analyst. "I was wrong."

"I'm a sarcastic, subversive guy," he said. "I'm a troll, look at me. I have no right to insult what anybody looks like or what anybody wears. That, I think, should go without saying."
