CNN Analyst Roland Martin Suspended From Network For Homophobic Tweets During Super Bowl!

Not impressive.
CNN analyst Roland Martin has been suspended from the network for tweeting the following disgusting comments about David Beckham's H&M ad during the Super Bowl:
"Ain't no real bruhs going to H&M to buy some damn David Beckham underwear!"
"If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about Beckham's H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him."
And here's what CNN finally had to say about Roland's deplorable tweets earlier today:
"Roland Martin’s tweets were regrettable and offensive. Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not tolerated. We have been giving careful consideration to this matter, and Roland will not be appearing on our air for the time being."
We're surprised that it took CNN this long to take action against Roland, but at least they made the right move here. Hopefully in the future he'll think twice before he tweets out ignorant and hateful messages.
Ugh.
