We need to file complaints against Tony Kornheiser of ESPN for advocating running over cyclists!

Recently Tony Kornheiser of ESPN went on a rant against cyclists going as far as advocating running over them.

Some of his comments included:"Run them down, like Wile Coyotes, run them over. Just stay on the right. Stay on the right.""And they all wear...my God...with the little water bottle in the back and their stupid hats and their shiny shorts, they are the same disgusting poseurs that come out in the middle of a snow storm with cross country skiing on your block. Run them down."

I have just filed a complaint with the FCC. I would ask all of you to do the same. Given the recent death of Adam Little, we don't need people like this on the public airwaves.

To file a complaint go to: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

Click on the radio button: Broadcast (TV and Radio), Cable, and Satellite Issues.Proceed to the next page.

Click on the radio button: Unauthorized, unfair, biased, illegal broadcasts (does NOT include Obscene, Profane or Indecent material) This does however, include "Broadcasting threatening or intimidating statements about an individual or group."

Proceed to the next page and select the online form. Complete your consumer information. You will then need to complete Form 2000E. Pertinent information that needs to be included:
1. What is the name of the company that is the subject of your complaint? Red Zebra Broadcasting (ESPN 980)
2. If your complaint is about a radio or television station, provide the following information: Station call sign (e.g., "KDID," "WZUF," "KDIU-FM," "WZUE-TV"): WTEM, WWXX and WWXTStation location: City: Rockville State: Maryland

4. Provide the details of your complaint, including the time, date and nature of any conduct or activity complained of and identifying information for companies, institutions or individuals involved (if not already described above): During his show on March 11, 2010, Mr. Kornheiser advocated violence against anyone riding a bicycle on a public road. Specifically, Mr. Kornheiser stated "Run them down, like Wile Coyote's, run them over." Using public airwaves to advocate violence against cyclists is unacceptable and should not be tolerated.

Please take a moment to file the complaint and forward this on to others. Hopefully, we can get morons like Tony Kornheiser off the airwaves, and maybe, just maybe, make cycling a little bit safer. Thanks,Tricows
