Can’t say that it comes as much of a surprise. Â The radio hosts from “Mayhem in the AM” who took a stab at New Orleans Saints former player Steve Gleason have all been fired. Â Gleason suffers from ALS and as an attempt to get laughs the shock jocks thought it would be funny to make fun of the way he talks. Â Gleason lost the ability to speak and now uses a computer to type with his eyes that speaks for him. Â The jokes were in extremely poor taste and nobody was laughing. Â After major backlash, the radio station has fired those involved. Â One of the hosts, Nick Cellini, has posted the following on his Twitter:
The apology sounds phony and shows the ignorance of some people in this world. Â The firing was deserved and the group should take some time and spend time with people suffering from ALS. Â Learn how hard their struggle is to do every day tasks and why that joke was one of the most insensitive things ever done on the radio.
