One of CNN’s finest political commentators, Roland Martin, has been suspended by the news organization over his tweet on David Beckham’sH&M advert aired during the Sunday’s Super Bowl which some people termed homophobic.
Roland Martin tweeted “If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham’s H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him!”
He followed that message with another similar one, saying “Ain’t no real bruhs going to H&M to buy some damn David Beckham underwear!”
Since then, there have been a lot of backlashes from LGBT community over the tweet, and Martin issued an apology saying people that were interpreting his Tweets as homophobic did not understand that he meant it as a light-hearted joke.
