Keith Olbermann will not host his show for the rest of the week, ESPN said Tuesday, because of tweets critical of Penn State and its annual THON fundraiser.
ESPN didn’t say whether Olbermann would be paid during his absence. If he is, then the absence is relatively meaningless.
THON is an IFC/Panhellenic dance marathon at Penn State, which since 1977 has raised more than $127 million for the Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital. The most recent marathon took place Friday to Sunday and raised $13 million.
Another example of painting the good with the bad by using a much too large brush.
