You're Fired

Yesterday, FTVLive told you that Sports Radio Reporter Dan McNeil decided to turn into Mr. Blackwell and give his thoughts on ESPN sideline reporter Maria Taylor’s outfit. McNeil posted a tweet saying that Taylor looked like she should be hosting the adult film awards and not reporting at a football game.

After FTVLive posted the story about McNeil straying outside his lane, his boss fired him.

Rachel Williamson, regional president for Entercom Radio said in a statement, “For our brands and on-air personalities that is amplified and brings increased responsibility how we choose to use our voices. (Monday) night’s tweet, and its degrading and humiliating tone to a fellow female broadcaster, was unacceptable.

“We have the best teams in Chicago, and we must continue to hold ourselves to high expectations to continue to be leaders in our organization, our industry and our community. We apologize to all who were offended by Dan’s words, especially Maria.”

Sucks to lose your job, but again, people need to think before they tweet.
