SAN DIEGO -- The Padres are demanding an apology from Entercom for an "offensive, insensitive and completely unacceptable" tweet by a new talk show host on the team's flagship radio station.
Kevin Klein, scheduled to start a show on 97.3 FM on Thursday -- Opening Day for the Padres, tweeted a picture Monday of the Coronado bridge with the words "JUMP(asterisk) . (asterisk)to a new morning show."
The tweet sparked outrage from many, including some who said they knew people who had committed suicide by jumping from the bridge.
In a statement, Padres owners Ron Fowler and Peter Seidler apologized for the behavior of the station.
