Re: Harold Reynolds Fired from ESPN
Former major league player Harold Reynolds said ESPN/ABC Sports President George Bodenheimer told him Wednesday that ESPN will not reconsider its decision earlier this week to fire him.
"I had a meeting," Reynolds said, "but rather than focus on the details, I'd prefer to focus on the future."
Reynolds, 45, was informed Monday he was being fired for sexual harassment, according to three people with direct knowledge of the case.
ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys declined to comment.
Reynolds said he was in the first year of a six-year contract with ESPN.
"I don't understand all of the factors that went into ESPN's decision," Reynolds said, "but management has always had the power to terminate, and they decided to exercise it. I respectfully disagree with their decision, but I'm not going to sacrifice my relationship with ESPN just to make a media point."
Reynolds spent 11 years at ESPN as an analyst after playing 12 seasons in the majors.
As of Wednesday night, the homepage of his website —www.haroldreynolds.com— was still carrying a banner that said the site is "in association with ESPN." The banner carried ESPN's logo, which, when clicked on by users, provided a link to ESPN's website. Reynolds' site also had a photograph of Reynolds holding a baseball emblazoned with ESPN's logo.
The site is primarily a vehicle for marketing instructional DVDs that Reynolds produced with the cable network.
Reynolds, who is married and has one child, said Wednesday night he has received several other broadcasting offers and strong interest from other entities.
"The phone started ringing as soon as the news hit, and I'm flattered by that," he said. "People around baseball know what kind of person I am. That's why I'm getting the offers I am. ... This is a period of transition and growth for me. Sometimes, you don't see the growth until you look back."Comment

Re: Harold Reynolds Fired from ESPN
Guys have got to realize that we live in different times now. If you touch someone or say certain things you're taking a big risk. If a guy today did some of the stuff I did when I was in Junior High and High school they would probably get expelled. Back then it was just "boys being boys". The work place culture is even more stringent now. You better not do anything that can be misinterpreted or you run the risk of being gone.Jordan Mychal Lemos

Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.
Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.Comment

I think you're cut a little more slack when you're 16 as opposed to 45.Originally posted by jfsolo
Trust me, there's no way Harold would've been fired outright over the incident as it's being described if it were an isolated "misinterpreted" incident -- there's too much chance of a wrongful dismissal lawsuit, especially when somebody high-profile is involved. Most likely there was a history and Harold had been warned. It's unfortunate, because Harold is a genuinely nice guy.Originally posted by Thrash13Originally posted by slickdtcOriginally posted by Kipnis22Comment

Re: Harold Reynolds Fired from ESPN
You have to be careful I know alot of guys where I work come on extra strong to the females in the office and you can tell that alot of them feel uncomfortable but wont say it but will report you to management... I would think the chick would at least tell him something first as some sort of a warningComment

Re: Harold Reynolds Fired from ESPN
Damn as a M's fan, I have always liked Harold Reynolds. As a analyst, I like him even more. He was one of the few guys on ESPN that I could actually tolerate and who actually made sense instead of spouting some stuff just to get attention or repeating some idiotic catchphrase.
And BBTN is going even further down the drain. I can't stand Stark and "Marblemouth" Martinez is killing the show.Comment
