CNN suspended Roland Martin for making what some believe was a homophobic remark on Twitter after the showing of an underwear commercial featuring Soccer star David Beckham during the Superbowl 2012. Roland tweeted:
While the tweet is a bit violent by encouraging "smacking," I don't see how anyone can be offended by this. No heterosexual male would enjoy watching other men in underwear. Roland is using language typical of a male who does not have same-sex attraction. He is entitled to his free speech.
Shame on CNN for suspending him for exercising his First amendment rights.
America is becoming a scary place. We are slowly being censored little by little. We need to restore the Constitution before it is too late.
