Call Me Disgraceful (But Truthful)

Does anybody really believe Aiyana was hired for her journalistic capabilities?

 

Who is she kidding and why do these radio 'personalities' need to apologize?

 

Sideline reporters - for national broadcasts as well as regional broadcasts (MLB, NBA, etc.) are little more than 'brick shit house' ring girls who parade around the boxing ring between round, holding up a sign telling spectators what round is upcoming.

 

 

 

 

 

Chicago radio personalities apologize for tweets about sports reporter

Chicago area radio personalities WSCR-AM 670 hosts Dan Bernstein and Matt Spiegel have apologized for tweets about Comcast Sports Chicago sports reporter Aiyana Cristal that many found offensive.

 

What began as a critique of Cristal’s sideline reporting at a Chicago Bulls game last Wednesday night quickly turned into a sophomoric exchange on social media sexualizing the journalist.

 

"Aiyana Cristal makes me uncomfortable. I feel how hard she's trying, & end up awkwardly rooting for her to finish cleanly,” Spiegel wrote on Twitter.

 

His colleague Bernstein chimed in: “I have no rooting interest in her work, but enjoy her boobs.”

Spiegel replied: "I am improbably distracted from them by her professional discomfort, it's a crime.”

The Twitterverse quickly went into a rage calling out the shock jocks as "appalling" and "sexist."

The hosts deleted their tweets and both apologized on social media, as well as on air.

 

"I missed an opportunity to keep the subject on point, and stay respectful. I'm sorry for that on many levels and sad I offended Aiyana and others,” tweeted Spiegel.

 

The sports anchor, who joined CSN in September 2013, took to both her official Twitter and Facebook page this weekend and issued a lengthy statement saying, in part “sexual harassment is never acceptable” and “this incident serves as a gross reminder that women continue to fight every day to be treated equally”

Cristal is being applauded on social media for her stand, with over 250 likes on her Facebook page and counting.

 

FOX411 reached out to Cristal but did not receive comment.

Aiyana cristal - sounds like a stripper name

 

Beyond that, if she wants to fight sexism, why not show a bit less cleavage? Because no one would hire her based on sports knowledge?

Because how she looks shouldn't matter? Because women shouldn't have to completely suppress their gender and/or sexuality to be successful in a male-dominated world?

It's TV.

 

Part of the job is to look good.

it looks like she's playing on her sexuality. She could be dressed like a nun and it would still be apparent that she's been blessed by God from the neck to the navel.....
