This story slipped by us during the election steal. Chad Dukes is a long time host on sports radio WJFK here in DC. I never liked sports radio, but Mike Francesa and Chris “Mad Dog ” Russo on New York’s WFAN were the best in the business. Personally I think that people who listen to sports radio all day are real dumb. Athletes on sports team don’t give a shit what tools you use or what your RAM speed in the cubicle farm.
Besides his FM show he has a podcast. He said something on his podcast that his employer at WJFK did not like and he was fired!
From the Oct 30 2020 edition of the Washington Post:
Longtime D.C. sports radio host Chad Dukes was fired from 106.7 the Fan, the station’s parent company announced late Thursday in a emailed statement, after it learned of “racist and other inappropriate comments” he made in episodes of his personal podcast.
“We have zero tolerance for this type of speech from any of our employees, on our platforms or otherwise,” Ivy Savoy-Smith, the senior vice president and market manager of Entercom Washington D.C., said in the statement. “Our air talent are ambassadors of our brand, and we do not want to be affiliated with these comments.”
These my be the comments that got Dukes fired. This is an excerpt from Washingtonian.com from Oct 30:
There are real, legitimate concerns that people have that have nothing to do with the fact that they’re against people with bad skin tone. There’s personal accountability issues, there’s family structure issues, there’s the fact that communities with more violence and crime need to be policed more so they have higher interactions with police officers—none of that can be spoken about. It’s “this person killed this person and now we burn down the city.” And there’s a lot of people that are smart enough to realize that there’s a more nuanced conversation, but they’re not allowed to talk about it. So what you’re talking about is, you’re like, “this is great, we’re having a conversation.” No we’re not. We’re continuing to allow one group to speak and silencing the other one and castigating them.
Dukes is 100% correct.
Meanwhile back at WJFK the morning show, the Sports Junkies folded faster than you could say twenty two.
“Chad Dukes is no longer with 106.7 the Fan,” John-Paul Flaim said. “Our company recently learned of inappropriate comments that he made in past episodes of his personal podcast, and our company has zero tolerance for any forms of hateful speech, so our focus, the Junkies, remains on sports and doing the best show we can. With that said, I don’t think we’re saying anything further on it.”
What a bunch of cucks! Way to support your colleague and his First Amendment Rights. On our show we allow every negative comment and even read them on the air. Nobody has the balls to say the right thing or defend them! Hell, even Anthony Cumia threw The Political Cesspool under the bus after he tells James Edwards he wants to hang out and drink a couple of beers with him.
