Anchor punished for implied insult towards Danica Patrick

San Diego sportscaster Ross Shimabuku has been suspended for a week without pay for remarks made about Danica Patrick before her Sprint Cup Series debut in the Daytona 500.

After playing a clip in which Patrick talks about the adjectives she's been described with throughout her racing (and advertising) career, Shimabuku said, "I've got a few words. It's starts with a 'b' and it's not beautiful."

4. Mistakes now stay with you for life. Employers could look back decades into your history.

 

And THAT is not a good statement about society. At some point there has to be forgiveness; and the Internet never forgives.
