Roland Martin, a CNN political analyst who was suspended by the network over inappropriate tweets directed toward gays, is making a comeback.
We toldya Martin was suspended in February after he sent out a tweet criticizing a TV commercial featuring soccer star David Beckham in his underwear, saying, “Ain’t no real bruhs going to H&M to buy some damn David Beckham underwear!… If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham’s H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him!”.
Martin eventually apologized on his website for the tweets and made a public apology to GLAAD, the organization that called for him to be fired. Well now it seems all the drama has been smoothed over and CNN execs are looking to take Roland off the temporary suspension. We’re still waiting to hear when he’ll be back on air.
In addition to his work at CNN, Martin is a commentator for TV One Cable Network and host and managing editor of “Washington Watch with Roland Martin,” a one-hour Sunday morning news show. He’s also a senior analyst on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, a syndicated radio show.
Do you think he’s learned his lesson? Was there a lesson to learn?
