Aug 18, (THAINDIAN NEWS) It was neither an inappropriate question nor an inappropriate dress, but an inappropriate hat that led to the firing of an Arkansas radio broadcaster. Renee Gork of Hog Sports Radio was fired by the officials of the owner company for wearing the Florida Gators hat to a press conference with Arkansas Razorback head coach Bobby Petrino. The coach was visibly angered after finding Renee Gork wearing Florida Gators hat to the conference. Renee Gork revealed the matter on Twitter and said that she had worn the hat without noticing the logo.

That Renee Gork was fired by KAKS was confirmed to a reputed new source by the General Manager of KAKS, Dan Storrs. Dan Storrs confirmed that Renee Gork was no more working for the radio station but declined to comment any further on the matter. He held that it was a personal matter that he did not think fit to comment on. The General Manager however held that the radio station known as Hog Sports Radio is very biased and supports the Arkansas Razorbacks “100 percent”.

However, it seems Renee Gork does not think that her firing from the radio station is a personal matter and had therefore already brought the matter in front of the public via Twitter. She has maintained that she wore the hat in a hurry as it was raining outside. She also mentioned that she was hoping to apologize for the mistake publicly in front of Bobby Petrino and the fans of Arkansas Razorbacks. However, it seems that the lady would hardly get an opportunity to apologize.
