Chicago radio station WMVP-AM has suspended veteran sportscaster Chet Coppock until Feb. 23 because of an offensive remark he made about Jews on his show a week ago.

Coppock made the remark Feb. 2 during an exchange with Ben Finfer.

After hearing the remark, WMVP general manager Jim Pastor took Coppock off his show Sunday and will keep him on the sidelines for the next two weekends.

In a statement, Coppock apologized for the remark and said it doesn't reflect his views or those of the station.
