In a shocking moment, Philadelphia Flyers radio announcer Tim Saunders has been suspended for two games following an inappropriate comment that aired live on the team's broadcast network. The incident occurred during a TV timeout in the Flyers' 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. As Saunders believed the microphones were off, he made a highly off-color remark, which was swiftly picked up by listeners. Color analyst Todd Fedoruk sensed the issue and attempted to intervene, but not before Saunders' comments sparked widespread outrage on social media. The clip, which contains explicit language, quickly went viral. In response to mounting backlash, the Flyers issued a formal statement acknowledging the incident and outlining disciplinary action. The team apologized for Saunders' remarks, stating that they do not reflect the organization's values. A two-game suspension has been handed down, with the Flyers and their radio partner, 97.5 The Fanatic, addressing the matter with all parties involved. The team's swift action aims to address the issue and prevent similar incidents in the future.
