Sports broadcaster fired after making Antifa joke during basketball game
Play-by-play announcer Mark Martello is speaking out after being fired for making a joke at Antifa's expense when talking about the MSU vs. Portland women’s basketball game last month. The reference alluded to rising crime rates and what people can get away with doing "after a riot."After a no call on the MSU end, the Cats pxp guy takes an interesting tact on the call: "Portland can get away with whatever they want to get away with. Portland's like Antifa after a riot. They might go to jail but they get out right away."
The closest to an official acknowledgement from the Montana school was that Martello was removed from the broadcasting team. Portland state's athletic department called Martello's comparison "inaccurate and inappropriate," and expressed gratitude for Montana State taking action.

“As a taxpaying citizen of Montana, I am deeply offended that my tax money goes to institutions that defend terrorism. As a sportscaster, I say lighten up, it was a joke”
