How does this go almost 2 full weeks before it makes news...? And while the article I am posting here doesn't say what she said, what she allegedly said was "***** Notre Dame, ***** Touchdown Jesus, ***** Jesus."

Can you imagine if she said something similar about Muhammed..??

Dana Jacobson, co-host of ESPN2's "First Take," is currently being disciplined for remarks made at a Jan. 11 celebrity roast for ESPN Radio personalities Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic.

Her characterizations of the Notre Dame football program, which have been criticized by a Catholic organization, were deemed "inappropriate" by the network, which issued the following statement from Jacobson:

"I am sorry. My remarks about Notre Dame were foolish and insensitive. I respect all religions and did not mean anything derogatory by my poorly chosen words. I also deeply regret the embarrassment I've caused ESPN and Mike and Mike.

"My actions at the roast were inappropriate and in no way represent who I am. I won't make excuses for my behavior, but I do hope I can be forgiven for such a poor lack of judgment."

GMTA You must be listening to WEEI too... It blows my mind that such a comment could be made - and then not even be reported for almost 2 weeks.

ESPN is a bunch of hypocrites. They love to make a mountain out of a molehill whenevere anyone says anything remotely controversial - unless it's one of their own personalities. Then it becomes a forbidden subject.

Yeah, I am listening to EEI. ESPN did the same thing with Michael Irvin's Romo grandma rant.

If Ann Coulter said anything like that about the "Muslim God" the politically correct left wing liberals in America would be flogging themselves to death and demanding Coulters head and the Muslims would hunt her down and give it to them on the end of a stick.

I have been called a "Racist" many times right on this forum simply because I can't stand the Liberal Democrats Double Standard (f-ck them) they can kiss my white Mother F#$%ing A$s, "ya know what i'm sayin"

How about context, it was a *****ing roast.

QuiGon

What part of

"Dana Jacobson, co-host of ESPN2's "First Take," is currently being disciplined for remarks made at a Jan. 11 celebrity roast for ESPN Radio personalities Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic"

did you not understand...?

Yeah I guess I didn't do a good job establishing the context in my OP

It's a fvcking rost!!! are you kidding me?!?! Nothing is supposed to be out of bounds. Talk about being PC.

QuiGon

If you think racist or anti-Muslim or anti-Semitic remarks would have been treated with the same indifference, then you are foolishly naive.
