Flyers Suspend Announcer Over Inappropriate Comment

The Philadelphia Flyers radio play-by-play announcer, Tim Saunders, has been suspended for two games following a hot mic incident during a game against the Buffalo Sabres. Saunders made an inappropriate comment, leading to his suspension and the Flyers radio partners, ninety-seven point five The Fanatic, issuing the punishment. Saunders will miss the next two games and be replaced by Brian Smith, the Flyers director of broadcasting and content. This incident echoes a similar situation involving Thom Brennaman, who was suspended for using a homophobic slur on air. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network.
