CNN suspends Roland Martin over 'offensive' Super Bowl tweets

Political commentator Roland Martin has been suspended indefinitely by CNN over a series of tweets he published during the Super Bowl. "Roland Martin's tweets were regrettable and offensive," CNN 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." Those comments, published on his personal Twitter feed, concerned a two Super Bowl ads, including an H&M spot showcasing a new David Beckham underwear line. Martin wrote: 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 Earlier in the game, Martin chastised a player for wearing pink: Who the hell was that New England Patriot they just showed in a head to toe pink suit? Oh, he needs a visit from #teamwhipdatass
