Dan Sileo is a former Miami Hurricanes linebacker and now he’s a former WMEN 640 AM radio host. After the FSU game Sileo tweeted out that he’d pay $1,000 to any Miami Hurricanes player who took out Devonta Freeman with an injury during the possible rematch between the two teams in the ACC title game. This morning WMEN announced he was no longer with the station.
Here’s the offending tweet, which has since been deleted:
And here’s the statement from WMEN:
And here’s Sileo’s response:
We’re thankful for you. Are you thankful for us?
We feel thankful for our staff and for the privilege of fulfilling our mission to be an unparalleled source of information and insight in Miami. We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community.
Help us continue giving back to Miami.
Sileo also claims he’s been getting death threats, the school pressured the station to fire him, and that he is now in hiding and has hired personal security.
