Take Roland Martin Off Suspension @ CNN
	            During the Super Bowl, CNN commentator 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! #superbowl” Since then, this tweet has created a firestorm among the LGBT community, and prompted CNN to suspend the commentator. Martin states: “As anyone who follows me on Twitter knows, anytime soccer comes up during football season it’s another chance for me to take a playful shot at soccer, nothing more.” CNN has released this statement to the public: “Roland Martin’s tweets were regrettable and offensive,” the network said in a statement. “Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not tolerated. We have been giving careful consideration to this matter, and Roland will not be appearing on our air for the time being.” If you feel Roland Martin meant no wrong-doing then sign this petition to bring him back to CNN.
