Put Tony Kornheiser back on PTI
Published by Erik on Feb 24, 2010
Target: ESPN
Region: United States of America
Background (Preamble):
Tony Kornheiser of ESPN's PTI program was suspended for 2 weeks and could face losing his job because he made fun of Hannah Storms dress that she was wearing.
Kornheiser is known for his sarcastic nature and its his job on PTI to be that type of character. He has made his living making sarcastic comments about anything and everyone. He even makes fun of himself a lot of the show and wears ridiculous costumes sometimes.
We love him because of this. I believe Hannah Storm was being over-sensitive and ESPN overreacted, and I find it shameful that they would suspend Tony for being Tony because Ms. Storm was offended by Kornheiser's comment. I say Ms. Storm needs to grow some thicker skin, and I can guarantee she herself has probably made comments towards others outfits in her lifetime as well.
