Keith Olbermann Suspended For Twitter Fight
The Penn State students were excited about raising $13 million to fight pediatric cancer . Naturally, Keith Olbermann saw that was a chance to taunt them.
Oddly, ESPN disagrees and sent him to the showers.
“We are aware of the exchange Keith Olbermann had on Twitter last night regarding Penn State. It was completely inappropriate and does not reflect the views of ESPN. We have discussed it with Keith, who recognizes he was wrong. ESPN and Keith have agreed that he will not host his show for the remainder of this week and will return on Monday”.
Between Bill Simmons, Dan Le Batard, Stephen A. Smith and now Olbermann, the ESPN time out room is never empty.

.@dave_seidel Again – get your $ back – you didn't learn how to read. PSU students are pitiful because they're PSU students – period.

.@dave_seidel No, Son. I said PSU students were pitiful. Had nothing to do with fundraising #AlsoPSUReadingComprehensionAppearsToBeWeak

I'd like to thank the students and alums of Penn State for proving my point about the mediocrity of their education and ethics.

Then came Keith’s apology tweet.
I apologize for the PSU tweets. I was stupid and childish and way less mature than the students there who did such a great fundraising job.
