PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – ESPN has suspended Keith Olbermann for his controversial remarks about Penn State on Twitter.
On Twitter, Olbermann got into it with students and fans over the school’s annual pediatric cancer fundraiser called “Thon.”
The Penn State dance Marathon known as “Thon” began Friday night at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College and wound up at 4 p.m. Sunday.
Hundreds took part in the annual dance marathon over the weekend which raised more than $13 million for pediatric cancer research and care.
The fund’s mission is to conquer childhood cancer by assisting children treated at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. The fund ensures that all expenses a family incurs are covered, from medical bills to gas and food money and household living expenses.
A student sent Olbermann a tweet saying “We Are!” with a link to the news on the Thon.
That’s when Olbermann responded “pitiful.”
