Tribune has suspended KSWB FOX 5 reporter Ross Shimabuku over perceived sexist remarks made during a story on race car driver Danica Patrick.
“Danica Patrick is such a pretty girl, and she makes a lot of money in sponsorships because of it,” Shimabuku said in the introduction of his piece.
After rolling a soundbyte with Patrick, Shimabuku said he had a word for the race car driver that “starts with a ‘B’…and it’s not ‘beautiful.’”
Shimabuku later apologized for his comments. [CBS Sports]
