LINK Maine high school basketball game commentators fired after commenting on girls’ weights - The Washington Post
Fred Grant’s phone began buzzing nonstop on a recent January afternoon.
Grant, the owner and manager of a small radio station in Houlton, Maine, was not watching the girls’ junior varsity basketball game live-streaming on WHOU 100.1 FM’s website.
But a few people who were viewing the game called Grant about an on-air conversation between two of his station’s broadcasters. Sports commentators Jim Carter and Steve Shaw had called some of the high school athletes overweight and laughed about it.
(Totally unprofessional.)
