LOL

Whatever, Matty!!

I work in a male dominated industry, as is my office. And we've been leveled with some very high profile law suites. I just don't think these allegations or this behaviour is unique to ESPN.

Just as with anywhere, it could simply be a few inappropriate comments at the wrong time along with an opportunist.

Yeah, like Salisbury's "Want to see my penis? No, really, here it is."

Meanwhile, that asiany - mexicanny moderator would ban us all to protect his job.

What a stupid suggestion Matty.

Trust me, I can whip them into shape. I've dealt with some troubled mods and members in the past and I always get the best out of them. Plus, with a vet min deal it won't hurt out cap! It's a win-win!

You say that now - but what about when they begin starting their own web-sites? Having news conferences in driveways? You don't think SBF doesn't have a few unregistered firearms that might come into play? The man's a damn pirate. It will be chaos.

We have good chemistry and are on the verge of making the forum super-bowl. Hell, two of our members have made it into the Washington Post and our cap-sheets are the industry standard. It's just not worth it.

You're such a loser and idiot for even thinking of it.

I didn't say these cases were unique to ESPN. Not at all. I have worked in several work environments, ranging from 9-5 office environments to restaurants/clubs. Each is different with regard to sexual harassment, and you are right that you have to consider the accuser and possible alterior motives when looking at these cases. I simply said at a place like ESPN where former pro-athletes and ego driven males are prevalent, the CHANCES for this type of activity are probably higher. And I maintain that Woody Paige is a buffoon.

And I also maintain that ESPN is getting a reputation for this kind of stuff. Funny how ESPN loves a good scandal, athletes getting in trouble etc. They build people up so later on down the road they can break them down. Anything for "good" or "newsworthy" tv, right? But as soon as their name is involved in scandal they are mum. HA.

I see your point. And you're right, they're the first ones trying to break scandal when they're own back yard isn't clean.
