The new Washington Commanders ownership group took swift action to remove two radio hosts after they discovered sexist remarks were made on-air toward a female reporter.
The team banned Don Geronimo and Crash Young of local WBIG "BIG 100" from training camp Friday after the pair called WUSA9 sports anchor Sharla McBride "Barbie" and thought she was a cheerleader during Thursday's practice. McBride has worked at WUSA9 since 2020 and has been a sports reporter since 2007, according to her LinkedIn page.
"We have worked hard to ensure that everyone feels safe and respected in our workplace," a Commanders spokesperson said in a statement to WUSA9, "and we took swift action when we learned that an employee of our partner iHeart made sexually disparaging remarks to and about a member of the media while she was broadcasting live from training camp yesterday.
