Should Roland Martin Be Fired for David Beckham Underwear Ad Tweets?
by Hilton Hater at . Updated at .Exposed body parts from the Super Bowl continue to stir up controversy across the Internet.
With M.I.A.'s immature finger flip causing both NBC and the NFL to apologize, GLADD is now up in arms over comments made last night by CNN contributor Roland Martin.
While watching the Giants victory over the Patriots, Martin Tweeted the following in response to David Beckham's underwear ad for H&M (below):
GLADD noticed and wrote back: "Advocates of gay bashing have no place at CNN," to which Martin then replied:
"You're clearly out of touch and clueless with what I tweeted. Way to assume, but you're way off base."
The gay rights organization has since sent around an online petition that pushes for to Martin be fired. It has collected approximately 2,000 signatures so far.
What do you think of Martin's comments? Homophobic? Or just lame and unfunny? Should he be fired?

GLAAD always feel someone is against them. They should GLAD that they are still considered a part of society. Roland Martin is a commentator, it is his job to speak his mind! He was off the clock! Blacks are now watching CNN b/c of Roland Martin. Get rid of him and watch what happens. See if Obama does not win again! I guess he can't joke about anything. You tell me a person who is not gay and has made a comment about gay people, in front of a gay person and still has their job! Leave the celebrities alone!
There was nothing demeaning about his tweet. Gays are just upset with Blacks for voting against their public policy initiatives. So now they are trying to bully them into supporting their lifestyle policies. Bullying has never worked and won't work here. Regarding CNN, I stopped watching their programs when they hired the disgraced former governor of NYS. They lost all credibility with that hire. Also, why hasn't Don Lemon come to Roland's defense? You can be whom ever you want to be, but always put your community first. This is why it is easy to treat Blacks unfairly with little to no conseqences. We simply don't stick together when it matters. Putting your community first does not diminish who you are, it strenthens you and your community.
The man voiced his opinion!Being with the same sex is mental illness! They need to go back in the closet! AND stay there, WITH THERE AIDS!
