CNN suspended political analyst Roland Martin for “offensive” tweets during the Super Bowl that some critics said were anti-gay.

Martin commented on Twitter about a commercial during the Super Bowl that showed David Beckham in underwear.

He tweeted: “If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham’s H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him.”

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation said the remark advocated violence against gays, Evening Herald reports.
