CBS RadioCBS Sports Radio 610 in Houston tells KOTV-TV Tulsa that a Digital Content Manager has been fired following a blog post about an Oklahoma City Thunder Cheerleader’s perceived weight problem.


A blogger for CBS Radio’s KILT-AM SportsRadio 610 Houston under the name “Claire Crawford” posted an article with Thunder Girl Kelsey Williams’ picture, along with the question: Is she too chunky to be an OKC Thunder cheerleader?

The blogger wrote that people have criticized the Thunder cheerleader for being “pudgy around her waistline,” then says “she’s beautiful.”

The six-paragraph article, posted 4/22, asks readers to weigh in, and it has a lot of people talking.

The station will not confirm who wrote the article, but several sources identify the writer as Digital Content Manager Anna-Megan Raley, who blogs under the pen name “Claire Crawford,” said the KOTV-TV article.
