Must not criticize the clothing of TV hosts?

We read:
"ESPN has suspended former Monday Night Football analyst and host of Pardon The Interruption Tony Kornheiser for "a few days" after comments he made on the radio about the wardrobe of SportsCenter host Hannah Storm.

Last week, Kornheiser opened his Washington D.C. radio show by critiquing the clothing Storm was wearing while hosting one of the Tuesday morning editions of "SportsCenter". He said: "Hannah Storm in a horrifying, horrifying outfit today. She's got on red go-go boots and a catholic school plaid skirt. Way too short for somebody in her 40s or maybe early 50s by now. And she's got on her typically very, very tight shirt. So she looks like she's got sausage casing wrapping around her upper body. I mean, I know she's very good, and I'm not supposed to be critical of ESPN people, so I won't ... But, Hannah Storm, come on now! Stop! What are you doing? ... [She's] what I would call a Holden Caulfield fantasy at this point."

Kornheiser later apologized on air for the remarks and said he called Storm to apologize. But when he wasn't on PTI yesterday, suspicions grew that ESPN had suspended Kornheiser for having the audacity to criticize a fellow employee. On Tuesday morning, he confirmed that on the radio.

Yah, it's usually not a good thing to pretty much tell the world your co-worker is dressed like a ho

He doesn't sound very bright, but i guess that's why he's doing sports. You can't help but get the feeling there's more going on here than we're being told. Some past relationship between the two perhaps?

OH Anon, are you trying to imply the two were having a sexual relationship?

I'm going on the Letterman show to expose your slanderous insinuation.

Tiger Woods will be there too, so be sure to tune in.

So, relationship = sex? Hmm. Interesting.

You just can't step outside of your industry. It's OK for fashion critics to rip the sh*t out of the contestants on Project Runway, but let sportscasters talk about bad fashion, and they get criticized.
