"In conditions like this, do paid protesters get hazard pay? Allen asked. Those are the things that I've been thinking about this morning. One of his co-hosts declared he was probably not gonna touch that one as the conversation moved on."
"I made a comment on-air Friday about protesters and the weather that was insensitive and poorly timed, and I'm sorry. It was a misguided attempt at humor, and while it was never met with any ill intent or political affront, I absolutely and wholeheartedly want to apologize to those who genuinely were hurt or offended by it. Nine-to-noon doesn't formulate political opinions. We don't bash or praise political discussions or even focus on political issues. This time slot always has been a sports-centered space built"
A Minnesota Vikings play-by-play announcer made an on-air remark questioning whether paid protesters receive hazard pay during cold weather. The remark referenced supposed remedies players use to combat the cold and prompted an immediate co-host reaction that avoided the topic. The announcer issued a public apology, called the comment a misguided attempt at humor, described it as insensitive and poorly timed, and expressed regret for anyone hurt or offended. The announcer emphasized that the time slot is sports-centered entertainment and announced a brief hiatus from the show.
