Vikings announcer Paul Allen did not appear on KFAN radio Monday and said he’ll be taking a few days off following comments he made about “paid protestors” in the snowy and bitter cold temperatures amid the President Donald Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
KFAN aired an apology in Allen’s voice during a commercial before “Nine-to-Noon,” his daily show after he asked if “paid protestors” get “hazard pay” for the conditions on his Friday show.

I don’t know this guy, but don’t be such a spineless goober....
There’s a video of the protestors literally clocking out to get paid post protest.
I doubt he announced it -he died in 2018.
This is a different Paul Allen.
Free speech for me but not for thee.
We’re going to need bigger receipts.
How DARE him point out that the emperor is naked.

who knows, this Paul could easily be a dead man too if he does not change his name to Saul or something
He’s a Somalian lickspittle.
is Minnesota really this far gone??..man, pathetic.
Paul Allen you are a coward.
“I don’t know this guy, but don’t be such a spineless goober.”
He probably has bills to pay.

Citizens may not utter narratives that counter official communist/marxist narratives...
He’s back already...
Yes... It really is.
This PA is what we consider “The Voice of the Minnesota Vikings” and used to be a frequent visitor on morning Right-wing talk radio.
He’s on “our side”, but he does work in Media and had to “bend the knee” to his bosses when the Marxist Left made a stink over an accurate comment by PA about paid protestors up here.
