ROLAND MARTIN OF CNN SUSPENDED FOR TWEETS

As far as the social networking has gone through, it may have been as far where have gone as for Roland Martin of CNN been through. For Roland Martin, who is known as CNN‘s political analyst has been suspended to appear on the network. And it’s reason, has just came from Martin’s tweets after the Super Bowl last Sunday.

The controversial tweet states: “If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham’s H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him”. It was, according to Martin himself, was a knock off to the soccer (sport) and not for anything else. But as what in his succeeding tweets he said: “Who the hell was the New England Patriot they just showed in a head to toe pink suit? Oh, he needs a visit from #teamwhipdatass”. And so, for most of Twitter users have read Martin tweets, they have seen that it was as if knocking off on the homosexuals. But Martin on his next tweet states: “are you dumb?  I rag on soccer all the time. David Beckham. Soccer player. Pay the hell attention!” Follows another tweet “well you’re the one who chose to jump to homosexuality when I’m cracking on soccer. Yes, ignorant.”

Having this issue, and as reading the tweets, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation have actually gave a statement that indeed Martin‘s tweets can actually fall on a form of bullying homosexuals. And with these reactions from all over, CNN have thought hard about the issue. And as for yesterday, CNN have announced that Martin will not going to appear on air “for the time being”. And although Martin have already posted his apologies, CNN still admits that Martin tweets are “regrettable and offensive”.
