A Chicago sportscaster finds himself in the penalty box after posting an offensive tweet about President Trump. America exposed as a country full of simpletons who allowed this cartoon lunatic to be ‘elected.’ ”Giangreco has since deleted the tweet, but not before Chicago City Wire grabbed a screenshot. “We’ve reviewed the matter and are taking the appropriate action.”That action, according to the Chicago Tribune, is a multiweek suspension without pay that will likely begin Monday. In 1999, he joked that former NFL player Walter Payton looked “shriveled up,” according to the Chicago Tribune. Unknown to the public (and Giangreco), Payton was suffering at the time from primary sclerosing cholangitis, a fatal liver disease that has since been nicknamed “Walter Payton’s Disease.”“That hurt, it really did,” Payton later said.
