Apparently Jerry made some inappropriate comments during a podcast.  Anybody hear about this?  What did he say?

Jerry reminds me of the analytics guys that refused to come off their spot even after Josh turned the corner and insisted he still wasn't as good as we were all seeing. He was so stuck in the drought era inept Bills that when they became what they are now he never evolved. His shtick became tiresome and inaccurate. We are no longer fans of a woebegone franchise, but he still acted like they were and needed to be called out as such.

Quote

Jerry Sullivan, a veteran sports columnist for the Niagara Gazette, was fired Tuesday after sexist comments he made during a guest appearance on the Buffalo sports-themed podcast “Trainwreck Tonight,” the publication announced. The Gazette called Sullivan’s remarks a “revelation of the disrespect” Sullivan holds for “every female athlete, female coach, female journalist, every woman, period.”

During his podcast appearance, Sullivan responded to a written critique from a listener named Amy with a tirade berating women as “the worst fans.”

“Hey, women, be better than this. Because the worst fans really are the women,” Sullivan said. “They don’t get critical journalism, they’re just, they all want to be cheerleaders, OK? You know what I mean? It’s always—it’s a dangerous avenue to go down, to criticize women in general, because they’re better than men generally, but—they don’t get it as fans.”

It is so easy to Google,  and you can hear a recording of the comments.
