Tony Kornheiser suspended for slamming Hannah Storm’s outfit

Mess with the Storm and get tossed like a twister.

ESPN’s Tony Kornheiser learned the hard way that it is best not to be sexist and make fun of a lady’s outfit.

The co-host of “Pardon The Interruption” is on a two-week suspension for slamming Hannah Storm and her sassy get up, according to USA Today.

Here’s what the radio show host said according to the Huffington Post:

“Hannah Storm in a horrifying, horrifying outfit today. She’s got on red go-go boots and a catholic school plaid skirt … way too short for somebody in her 40s or maybe early 50s by now…She’s got on her typically very, very tight shirt. She looks like she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body … I know she’s very good, and I’m not supposed to be critical of ESPN people, so I won’t … but Hannah Storm … come on now! Stop! What are you doing? … She’s what I would call a Holden Caulfield fantasy at this point.”

ESPN executive vice president John Skipper called Kornheiser’s comments “entirely inappropriate” and hurtful, according to USA Today.

But what do you think? Was the suspension justified?
