Chicago sports radio stuck in sewer

It's a good thing Chicago's two sports radio stations, WMVP and WSCR, are bottom feeders in the quarterly ratings. Otherwise, the perception might be that their hosts define the city. And heaven help us if we were personified by a collection of crude, disgusting cavemen who spew anti-Semitism, conduct ``hug a Black'' missions, make fun of people on life support, refer to a female TV executive as ``a bitch'' and react to Bill Wirtz's passing by asking which local figures should die next.

This isn't just irresponsible behavior. It's really sick and demented, making shock jocks sound like cool-jazz DJs.

WMVP-AM (1000) confirmed Friday that longtime Chicago sports radio personality Chet Coppock has been suspended for five shifts for making an anti-Semitic comment on the air.

This article is just another example of how
big city sports/radio announcers are nothing
more than thug street crapsters...

But he continues to work because he and other hosts are enabled by executives who
confuse smut with cutting-edge programming — and, by extension, attempts to drive ratings and profits.

Let the thugs take over basketball-baseball-football and this is what we get. Gangster my butt

Coppeck and Mike North are not Stren wannabes.
Hyper PC sensitivity here.
