What is Jason Wolfe talking about?

And another thing about the insensitivity sessions over at WRKO-AM...the statement provided by DePetro's boss, Jason Wolfe...well, it doesn't compute.

DePetro was suspended for two days for referring to Matt Amorello by a gay slur. And here was Wolfe's response:

“This corporation has zero tolerance for racial intolerance. Mr. DePetro has 72 hours to think about it,” said Jason Wolfe, vice president of programming at WRKO (680) and WEEI-AM (850).

72 hours = two days?
gay slur = racial intolerance?

The Herald and the Globe had the same quote (see story links from my previous post yesterday), so it's not about a misquote. It's almost as if the stations released an old statement from when Dennis and Callahan got into trouble years ago by monkeying around, so to speak. Any ideas?
