Martin midway during the Super Bowl sent a tweet making fun of the ad that featured soccer star Beckham dressed only in his tighty-whiteys: 'Ain't no real bruhs going to H&M to buy some damn David Beckham underwear!' He continued, 'If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about Beckham's H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him.' The suspension comes a few days after GLAAD and other gay organizations angered by the tweets demanded CNN suspend Martin or take other action. We have been giving careful consideration to this matter, and Roland will not be appearing on our air for the time being.'
