OMG Dana Jacobson Knows the F Word

Filed under: Sports — admin @ 12:43 pm

Not exactly ground-breaking news, but it seems ESPN Sports reporter Dana Jacobson used foul language at a ‘roast’ for two of her coworkers, Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic. Seems Golic and Jacobson are at odds from being alumni of rival schools, Notre Dame and Michigan.

I’m not sure which slur got her in the most trouble, saying F.. Notre Dame or F.. Jesus, but the Catholic League got up in arms that she had “attacked Jesus Christ.” I wasn’t even aware he attended those sorts of affairs.

So now, almost two weeks later, ESPN has bowed to the pressure and suspended Dana for a whole week. Sounds like a vacation to me … but then the ‘crime’ was mere vulgarity (and at a roast no less) so punishment is hardly appropriate. Maybe the woman ain’t no lady, but in the male-dominated sports reporting field, that should come as no surprise.
