Who does he think he is, the Governor of New York or something?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

It still amazes me that Bill Clinton solicited sex with an employee and remained on the job. But sports announcer, gone.

[umgud]

I didn’t know CBS had any kind of standards.

[Texas Eagle]

Anthony has also been politically involved, appearing in a Nevada campaign ad for Mitt Romney during his 2012 presidential bid, calling the Republican Party nominee a 'no excuse kind of guy.'

What an odd bit of info to include.

I'll be looking for political affiliations to accompany other stories of athletes transgressing the law in the future.

[Paladin2]

Sounds like he was performing charity outreach.

[Mouton]

Well, Anthony had a few things going against him...first of all he apparently was a GOP member. Second, different from Clinton he was just a BB announcer...Clinton on the other hand was just doing what he was doing to the US then and since.

[GSWarrior]

Unless he was married, this was a victimless crime.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Prostitution should be decriminalized. Ban street-walking and force the prostitutes to register online and get quarterly health checkups.

What adults do is none of the state's business. How is this different than picking up a chick at a bar?

[fungoking]

He.violated CBS policy that only allows prostitution between CBS employees and the the Democrat party.

[Dilbert San Diego]

This is amazing to think he is suspended by CBS. CBS pushes all sorts of depraved immoral behaviors in their programming. Yet this guy is arrested and is taken off the air,apparently due to offending the sensibilities of CBS management which pushes immorality on all of us.

“Ho’s gotta eat too.”

[bray]

Must have been a female prostitute.

[House Atreides]

Jeez, CBS suspended him INDEFINITELY for THIS? It must have been a female prostitute (or female cop). Had it been a male, CBS would have likely given him a reality show.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Letterman confessed to a number of affairs with interns on his show, but CBS didn’t impose any sanctions Against him. So why impose sanctions against this annoucer? Does CBS really have standards which were violated or do they make it up as they go along???

[dynachrome]

“politically involved, appearing in a Nevada campaign ad for Mitt Romney”

I’m shocked that See BS had a Republican working for them.

[Cboldt]

Decriminalized my foot - prostitution and solicitation are constitutional rights, found in the same place one finds the constitutional right to homosexual marriage.

[Caipirabob]

Cbs being vindictive because he didn’t solicit a tranny?

[rabidralph]

He’s married.

[rabidralph]

And who pays for their health checkups and required healthcare?
