Following the burning of a US flag in downtown Cleveland by Iranian students when Americans were taken hostage in Iran in 1979, WEWS sportscaster Gib Shanley burns an Iranian flag on air.
God bless good ole Gib! Imagine if he was a sportscaster now, and burned the Iranian flag during a live news broadcast, Barack Obama would probably have more scathing words for him, than the brutal dictators who murder their own citizens in cold blood.
You could tell Ted Henry was thinking...
"Oh $#!+, Gib...we're in for it now!
