Darren Rovell from ESPN suspended from tweeting after comment at Bulls game

[KyrieTheFuture]

There are medical reasons some people can not overcome that cause them to be fat. This accounts for at most 10 percent of the obese population. I count myself as a fairly tolerant person but there's nothing to be "proud of" when you weigh over 300 pounds.

Nobody made those fat asses eat all that food.

This. Fat people are ****ing disgraces.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Because everyone agreed.

Whatever

Rovell is a POS and massive hack who doesn't deserve to be called a journalist.

His ass should have been fired and blacklisted from sports journalism a long time ago for being terrible at his job.

Take the bullshit drama he created with 2012 Heisman winner Johny Football. Claims he has video of Manziel asking for money so he can buy rims for his car as well as witnesses who can prove it. (never mind that Manziel comes from a wealthy family that made their money in oil) He and an unnamed ESPN employee are the ONLY two people to have ever seen the said video as he could never produce it and could never get a single person to come out on the record. His entire case was built on numbered items being sold online and anonymous sources he admitted to sometimes not even meeting yet he didn't think to look into the many other CFB stars who also have tons numbered autographed items for sale (Clowney for example) from internet memorabilia dealers. When asked about it he claimed that it wasn't relevant to his story.

Or how about the time a kid on twitter told him (as a joke) he ran an escort service and was losing money from the NBA strike? DR went and wrote a whole article about how the strike was ruining this guys business it w/o ever bothering to research the claims. He got all his info from an rando that tweeted at him which is like writing an article on European basketball based off a Euroleague post.

Dude is pathetic.

OK, that's some scummy shit. But the people he is ridiculing are exponentially worse. Being fat should be a capital offense.
