Don Geronimo Fired Following Disparaging On-Air Remarks During Commanders Training Camp

Longtime local radio host Michael Sorce, better known as Don  Geronimo, is no longer employed by WBIG Big100 after making disparaging remarks about WUSA9 sports reporter Sharla McBride during his radio show on Thursday. Initially, He and co-host Crash Young were barred from training camp on Friday.

Adam Longo of WUSA9 provided a statement on Saturday that came following an internal investigation from Aaron Hyland, DC region president for iHeartMedia: “After an internal review, Don Geronimo is no longer an employee of WBIG.   We take matters of this nature very seriously and this behavior does not align with our core values.”

Geronimo made his first public remarks about the situation on Sunday, when he tweeted the following, “At this time I will not be providing comment on the events of the last few days. I am consulting with my advisors as to my options moving forward, including an accurate reflection of the situation. Thx -d.” Below you’ll see comments in question, via WUSA9 and Adam Longo:

Hey look, Barbie’s here. Hi, Barbie girl,” Geronimo shouted out to WUSA9’s Sharla McBride, while live on air Thursday as she was walking in to cover the team’s training camp activities. “I’m guessing she’s a cheerleader.”

Later in the broadcast, Geronimo again spotted McBride as she was conducting interviews.

“Oh hey. There’s that chick that you thought .. said tight,” said Geronimo.

“Yah. I screamed tight when she was ..” said Crash before being interrupted.

“I think. I think she’s a sportscaster at Channel 9. Or Channel 7,” said Geronimo.

“Yeah, She’s familiar,” replied Crash.

“I thought she was a cheerleader,” said Geronimo.
