Roland Martin Suspended By CNN For Offensive Tweets
Roland Martin may have been joking about Super Bowl-related topics with some off-color Tweets Sunday night, but his bosses at CNN definitely didn't find it funny.
The political contributor has been suspended by the network after his remarks - most notably about David Beckham's H&M underwear ad - were called homophobic.
Gay-rights powerhouse GLAAD pushed hard for CNN to fire Martin. That did not happen, but disciplinary sanctions were taken, and his return date is not clear.

In a statement, CNN said:
"[Martin's] tweets were regrettable and offensive. Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not tolerated."
"We have been giving careful consideration to this matter, and Roland Martin will not be appearing on our air for the time being."
Martin fired off the controversial tweet (above) during the Super Bowl.
In another, he wrote, "Who the hell was that New England Patriot they just showed in a head to toe pink suit? Oh, he needs a visit from #teamwhipdatass."
Martin tried to backpedal by issuing an apology Monday.
David Beckham Kicked Out of Kids' Soccer Game
His Super Bowl ad got Roland Martin all fired up, but the CNN commentator isn't the only one making headlines for an incident involving David Beckham.
He may be the most famous soccer player in the world, but that didn't stop a referee from giving the 36-year-old a red card at a children's match in L.A.
Before his son Romeo took the field, "there was a penalty given" to a young player from another team, Beckham recalled on The Jonathan Ross Show.
"The kids are 7 years old and [the referee] sent the kid off. And I was like, 'Come on, he's 7 years old, referee! You can't send him off,'" Becks said.
"And he looked at me and was like, 'Yes, I can.'"
Beckham grew defiant and fought back, arguing: "You can't - he's 7 years old!' And [the ref] came over and he gave me a red card," the L.A. Galaxy star said.
"He told me to get out of the park. For real."
The British superstar/underwear model "went to the other side of the gate" for the duration of the game, "and I came back when my son's game was on."
Beckham's presence is usually welcomed at local sporting events: "The dads like seeing me there," David admitted, "and I coach the kids at times."
Tell us: Would you give David Beckham a red card if he were questioning your calls as a referee? Or stare in awe and ask him for an autograph?

David Beckham Super Bowl Ad: Shirtless For H&M!
With all these Super Bowl ads leaking early (see Matthew Broderick's from earlier), you won't have to worry if you need to during the game ... in a different way.
Or maybe you'll want to stick around for another look at this one, especially if you're female. Usually it's half-naked girls in Super Bowl commercials. Not here.
David Beckham's new ad for his H&M underwear line was just released, showing the soccer hunk wearing nothing more than "Bodywear" briefs and a smile:
With the camera utilizing more angles than the Kim Kardashian sex tape, the tattooed 36-year-old shows off his line - briefs are $12.95 and trunks $14.95, guys.
In a press release, Becks said "I'm excited about my bodywear ad featuring in this year's Super Bowl ... it's been a fantastic collaborative experience. I'm very happy with the end result. Like every fan, I'm looking forward to Super Bowl Sunday."
For Victoria Beckham, every day must feel like Super Bowl Sunday.
David Beckham Underwear Ad to Air During Super Bowl
Even if Tom Brady and the Patriots knock off the Ravens on Sunday, the quarterback may not be the most handsome man associated with Super Bowl XLVI.
That's because David Beckham - who just signed a new two-year deal to remain with the Los Angeles Galaxy of the MLS - will be featured during a second quarter commercial... in his underwear!
The spot will mark Beckham's first campaign with H&M and will support the launch of his nine-piece bodywear collection, which hits 1,800 stores nationwide on February 2. He says of the collaboration:
"With my design team we spent time working on the feel, fit and style to ensure the product is not only something I would wear but one which I would be proud to put my name to. I always want to challenge myself and this was such a rewarding experience for me. I'm very happy with the end result and I hope H&M's male customers will be as excited as I am."

David Beckham to Launch Men's Underwear Line
He's stripped down multiple times for Armani, but David Beckham will soon be getting nearly naked for no one but himself. And millions of women around the world, of course.
Sources confirm that the 35-year old soccer star/stud will soon launch his own line of men's underwear, as one insider told MTV UK:
"The whole planet went nuts when David stripped off for his Armani ads. Sales went through the roof. It was decided not to renew the Armani contract and develop a business of David’s own. He has seen how fulfilling it has been for Victoria to branch out and relishes a similar challenge.”
Reports indicate that sales of Armani increased by 30% with Beckham as the face/body of the brand.
