ESPN suspended him.

ESPN host Keith Olbermann was suspended for a week after attacking Penn State students who raised $13 million for a pediatric cancer charity at a dance marathon. On Monday, Olbermann fought a number of students and alumni on Twitter, calling them "pitiful" and moronic.

On Tuesday, Olbermann apologized after ESPN called his outburst "completely inappropriate."
