A San Francisco radio host was fired on Wednesday after making several sexually suggestive comments about 17-year-old Olympian Chloe Kim on air with Barstool Sports.
KNBR’s Patrick Connor was on the air with Barstool Radio’s Sirius XM show “Dialed-In with Dallas Braden” when he made a series inappropriate comments about the United States snowboarder knowing full well she was a minor, Fox News reports.
“She’s fine as hell,” Connor began, talking about Kim after her gold medal victory on the halfpipe. “If she was 18, you wouldn’t be ashamed to say that she’s a little hot piece of a**,” he added. “And she is. She is adorable. I’m a huge Chloe Kim fan.”

Conner then noted her exact birthday and said the “countdown is on,” adding in a reference to Matthew McConaughey’s line about high school girls from the 1994 classic “Dazed And Confused.”
“Her 18th birthday is April 23, and the countdown is on baby, ’cause I got my Wooderson going,” Connor said. “That’s what I like about them high school girls.”
The radio host apologized for his lewd remarks about Kim in a tweet on Wednesday.
Yesterday in a weird attempt to make people laugh I failed. My comments about @chloekimsnow were more than inappropriate they were lame & gross. Im truly sorry Chloe. You’ve repped our country so brilliantly. I apologize to my colleagues & the listeners for being a total idiot.
