NFL News: Commanders ban radio hosts after ‘disparaging’ comments

Added to Favorite


The Washington Commanders banned a pair of local radio hosts from training camp over remarks team officials termed as “sexually disparaging,” Yahoo Sports reported Saturday.

Don Geronimo and Crash Young, who work for station WBIG, made the on-air comments about local television sports anchor Sharla McBride on Thursday. They referred to her as “Barbie” and speculated more than once that she was a cheerleader after seeing her at camp in Ashburn, Va.

The Commanders, under previous owner Dan Snyder, were the subject of league and federal investigations into allegations of workplace misconduct and sexual harassment.

Snyder finalized the $6.05 billion sale of the team to a group led by Josh Harris on July 20.

The new ownership group took swift action in this latest incident.

“We have worked hard to ensure that everyone feels safe and respected in our workplace,” the Commanders said in a statement to WUSA9, which employs McBride. “And we took swift action when we learned that an employee of our partner iHeart made sexually disparaging remarks to and about a member of the media while she was broadcasting live from training camp yesterday.”

Yahoo reported the team has a three-year partnership deal with iHeartMedia, agreed to in 2022.

“We are taking this matter seriously and currently reviewing it internally,” Aaron Hyland, the D.C. region president for iHeartMedia, told WUSA9, according to Yahoo.
