I agree. I personally think that if a person works on a public forum like TV or radio than that person should have more responsibilty for his or her actions. When Dana and the golf chic said this, they spoke the truths in their opinions otherwise why bring it up? Right? This is not a Dem or Rep thing. Its about people who have ill manner for ND and Tiger Woods domination. As far as freedom of speech, that just goes for a person's own home only, not on a public forum like TV and Radio.

According to some news and sports websites, ESPN anchorwoman Dana Jacobson graphically attacked Jesus Christ at a recent roast of her colleagues; she was reportedly intoxicated. At the January 11 event, Jacobson roared from the podium, “F*** Notre Dame,” “F*** Touchdown Jesus,” and finally “F*** Jesus.”
Commenting on this is Catholic League president Bill Donohue:
“When pressed on this issue, ESPN’s response is to e-mail a statement by Jacobson, which includes the following: ‘My remarks about Notre Dame were foolish and insensitive. I respect all religions and did not mean anything derogatory by my poorly chosen words.’
“This response fails on several counts. First, there is no evidence that ESPN is taking this matter seriously. Are we to believe that her hate speech is of no consequence? Her comments were not made at a private function, rather they were made at a public event where she represented ESPN. Second, it is worth recalling that it was during a luncheon interview that Jimmy ‘The Greek’ Snyder made his racist remarks about blacks, and CBS Sports promptly fired him anyway. Third, it is also important to note that being drunk didn’t help Mel Gibson’s case when he made bigoted remarks about Jews.
“Then there is the matter of Jacobson’s so-called apology. By far the most offensive thing she said, ‘F*** Jesus,’ isn’t even addressed! It is obvious, then, that neither Jacobson nor ESPN is dealing with this matter in a professional way. To put this issue behind them, ESPN must deal with this issue quickly, publicly and fairly, something it has yet to do. After all, most Christians are yet unaware of this event, but once they learn of it, they are sure to demand accountability.”

Originally posted by harold_bushI woudln't suspend either one. Free country, freedom of speech, and everyone needs to stop being so damn sensitive. I'm Catholic, and I don't give a shit what she said. Her comments reflect on her, not anyone else. I don't give two shits what someone I'll never know thinks or says.

Originally posted by kbsooner21I agree too. I apparently missed the part that said she was at a roast. Free fucking speech, isn't that one of the values our country was founded on??
IMO if you're on live TV in front of millions of people you should be careful of what you say as it could be easily taken out of context. You would think that these people would know this by now.
