Taylor

Posted Wednesday, September 16, 2020 3:57 A.M.

After posting a tweet on Monday night, 670 The Score radio host Dan McNeil was fired
by Entercom, the parent company of 670 The Score. In his following tweet, McNeil didn't
hold back on his opinion of ESPN's Maria Taylor outfit which she wore Monday night
during the NFL's New York Giants/Pittsburgh Steelers game.

McNeil deleted the sexist tweet later that night but the damage was already done. Taylor
later took to Twitter on Monday night to address McNeil's tweet.

Well Danny Dearest if you would like to continue making sexist comments about me...please bring your misogyny with you to the NBA Countdown double header I’ll be hosting tomorrow night. Hey ladies remember you can wear whatever you feel confident in! @670TheScore @DannyMac670 https://t.co/bN0H582isU

other female broadcasters and fans.
