Former MADTV star and comedian Aries Spears is unlikely to ever be on ESPN again after cracking a gay joke live on air.
Spears was a guest on ESPN’s ‘SportsNation’ when he cracked an inappropriate joke about Michael Sam.
Spears was chatting with with Michelle Beadle and Marcellus Wiley when he brought up Sam — the first openly gay football player in the NFL.
“I went out and got my first Michael Sam jersey,” Spears said … “It’s got 15 S’s on the back.”
Beadle’s gave Spears a nasty look, while Wiley told him, “You ain’t right.”
After the show, Spears acknowledged that he’s unlikely to return to the network.
