A TV sportscaster in Chicago was suspended on Thursday for tweets he posted on Sunday that compared President Trump to a "cartoon lunatic" and alleged the election was not fair.
"Sports anchor Mark Giangreco's Twitter comments are not in line with ABC 7 Chicago's non-partisan editorial standards," ABC-7's management said in a statement. "We've reviewed the matter and are taking the appropriate action."

Sportscaster? Must’ve grown up with the “participation” trophy bunch!
Giangreco has always been an arrogant, pompous a$$.
Yep! Ran into him on the street one day in the loop. What a jerk. Seriously.
Four months ago if he’d posted this, the 0hole would never have been able to work again.
Oh the election wasn’t fair alright. What with all the MSN constantly bashing Trump and being on Hillary’s payroll, not to mention all the illegals that voted along with other Democratic vote fraud. What a bunch of crybabies. They don’t see it, but their actions are driving a deeper wedge between their party and all the Dems who defected and voted for Trump. I hope they keep it up.
Sounds like a candidate for ESPN.
And heaven forbid if you were in the same building wearing khakis.
How ironic. a sports reporter calling people simpletons.
“...ABC 7 Chicago’s non-partisan editorial standards...”
Best chuckle of the morning, so far.
He only did what he thought he’s supposed to do. I’m sure he’s very confused. Hee hee
What gets me about jerk offs like this is that when they express their displeasure about Trump being elected, they never mentioned the alternative if he wasn’t elected which would have been Hillary Clinton - THE hands down MOST corrupt politician in US history bar none. There is not a crime this woman has not been involved in in some way. Murder, rape, theft, bribery, racketeering, on and on and on. So when a schmuck like this bashes Trump, what he is really saying is that he is against law and order and is intent on bringing destruction to the USA. So to hell with this guy, they should fire him.
Lefties.
ALL {redacted} LEFTIES.
If they’re on the gaddamn TV—they’re LEFTIES!
Every single one of them.
A sportscaster? Now that’s what I call a tough, stressful, and labor intense job *s*
Read via twitter, he
—made fun of a dying Walter Payton, said he looked like Gandhi
—failed to vote in last 4 elections
Some saying call ABC, saying they interfered with his free speech. Free speech has consequences with your employer.
It’s why ABC canned Rush Limbaugh, for what he said. Government censorship is another story.
I imagine what if someone is hired to be a WalMart greeter. “Welcome to WalMart. F-— you.” Can they say that? Yes.
Can they say that and keep their job...?
Especially since he was hired for his hair.
Lol. That is actually a good analogy :) I might steal it sometime.
