Comedian Artie Lange is in trouble again for ill-advised tweets about ESPN’s Cari Champion. Lange, who was a long-time personality on shock jock Howard Stern’s radio show tweeted out several jokes about Champion that included sexist remarks, racist comments, and are being termed as harassment.

In one such tweet, Lange relayed a sexual fantasy in which he attempts to whip Champion, but she steals the whip from him and turns the tables while he derived sexual pleasure from the pain.
Champion has not responded to Lange’s crude tweets, but fellow ESPN personality Jemele Hill has stepped out front and chastised him for harassing her.
Just became aware of @artiequitter's tweets inappropriate and disgusting tweets about @CariChampion. Exhibit A in online harassment.

Ppl must realize @artiequitter's disgusting tweets to @CariChampion also is him joking about rape. Didn't realize that was "comedy." — Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) November 5, 2014
Lange has since apologized to Champion, explaining the crude tweets as just jokes. He refused, however, to apologize to “PC groups” that are attacking him on behalf of Champion.
I'm about to tweet a few things I can't believe have to be explained in a rational world. I observed that @CariChampion was a gorgeous lady

I then thought it would be funny to tweet JOKES about that observation. A decision which might be the end of modern comedy — Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
I tweeted jokes that in the past I would've said in privately in my home among friends. I know black women who could join me and handle it

After those, he became angry with groups calling for him to be punished for the tweets.
Tricky question. I would rather load trucks for a living then ever apologize to one of these awful PC groups ruining the country — Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
They're now telling me I can't appear on @Midnight tonight cause of the pressure they're getting from these groups.
