Well, I guess the safest approach if you don't want to offend people is to stay away from potentially controversial subjects.

As a show, first take should talk about sports, if you allow discussion to veer off into the rights and wrongs of domestic violence with outspoken hosts of the show, don't act surprised when one of them says something inappropriate.

SAS said what he said, and later apologized. He's taking a punishment for that, and hopefully it'll be the end of it.



Yep and this isn't this first time he's said something along those lines the only difference is Michelle Beadle took issue with it.


Her response though was moronic and completely missed the point.

I'm pretty surprised they'd suspend him for what he said. Then again, we're a God-fearing nation that still hasn't recovered from Janet Jackson's nipple.

What catches my attention, SAS is alway mentioning the Black Man in sports and his plight. He brings up race almost every day. Saying a Black Man has to be better. "As a Black Man" yada, yada, yada. I've asked myself many times, why is he allowed?
