Aiyana Cristal is a reporter and anchor for CSN Chicago.
Last night, during the Bulls telecast Matt Spiegel and Dan Bernstein — sports talk radio hosts on 670 The Score, had this Twitter conversation about her skills or lack thereof:

Twitter and social media users were not impressed by the two men.

@dan_bernstein @MattSpiegel670 this conversation is appalling.

Matt Spielgel quickly apologized for his role in the comments:
My initial tweet was about a reporter's on air presence & work. I stand by that; fair game. I regret the exchange thereafter as it devolved.

I missed an opportunity to keep the subject on point, & stay respectful. I'm sorry for that on many levels,& sad I offended Aiyana & others.

This is a violation of acceptable public decorum and should have been addressed by now.
