On Monday, Paul Allen apologized for what he called a "cheap one-liner" in which he called protestors "paid" and wondered aloud if they would get "hazard pay" to be out in inclement weather

A Minnesota sports radio personality is apologizing after he called into question the intentions of ICE protestors in Minneapolis.

Paul Allen, the voice of the Minnesota Vikings football team, issued a statement on Monday, Jan. 26 following his on-air comments Friday in which he discussed the inclement weather set to hit the area, and wondered how it would affect the city’s ongoing ICE protests.

"I made a comment on Friday about protesters and the weather that was insensitive and poorly timed, and I'm sorry," Allen, 60, said in a prepared statement. "It was a misguided attempt at humor and while it was never meant with any ill intent or political affront, I absolutely and whole-heartedly want to apologize to those who genuinely were hurt or offended by it."

Allen added, “I'm taking a few days off."

Last week, the talk show host was discussing the upcoming winter storm with former Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway and Vikings beat reporter Alec Lewis when he made what he now calls a “cheap one-liner.”
