      Off Topic 2015

      Y'all see Britt McHenry getting a week suspension from ESPN for being a total dickface to a towing company employee?

      Britt McHenry's one-week suspension is an embarrassing slap on the wrist from a network that has been doling out so many harsh suspensions recently that it's like Roger Goodell on a power trip. McHenry, as you may know by now, was caught on video cursing and belittlin


      That attitude. Damn girl, since you're soooo famous and wealthy, what's the big deal with shelling out some cash to pay for your illegally parked car? By the way, you were talking about your education... guess you weren't smart enough to park in the right spot.

      Parking authorities are hustlers, we all know this. Take your L and move on without being a prissy bitch. You make MY skin crawl.

      I don't even know if this deserves a punishment (though I guess as a public figure you're held to a higher standard), I'm sure it happens all the time to that attendant. But McHenry ain't any better then you or I or the attendant, education or tax bracket be damned. Have some respect.

      I'm not much into social media's shaming of people caught on tape doing unsavory things, but McHenry tried to shame this attendant and showed her true colors so I don't care much about her being thrown to the wolves on this one.

        I completely disagree with that article. Was she being terrible? Yeah, but comparing the suspensions of someone who talked bad about a co-worker or a BOSS to someone who said some stuff to someones not affiliated with the company is comparing apples and oranges. Of course any internal conflict is gonna yield a larger suspension. Come on. Pretending that only ESPN cares more about internal affairs is ridiculous and comparing it to ESPN "sneering at the world" is laughable. I dont even like ESPN, but that article came off as a rival taking the opportunity to take a shot at a competitor. A week long suspension is appropriate.

          Now a days, if you're a public figure or employee it's pretty much guaranteed you'll be on camera.

            I don't understand the suspension honestly. You either want a person like that working for and representing your company, or you don't. What purpose is a suspension going to serve? People aren't going to look at her and be like oh she got suspended so it's OK to enjoy her segments now.

              She came off as a total ****, but it's not really that big of a deal. I just have to roll my eyes when these situations happen and the Twitter mob forms with their pitchforks and torches. Gimme a break.

                  Probably because it'll all blow over in a week.

                  What were we angry about last week?

                  The Twitter mobs really do brew up crapstorms, and it's usually like comeeeee onnnn. I don't think she really deserves to be fired (would we had we done this?), but she deserves the comments she'll be getting from people.

                  I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see a pretty good looking, semi-famous reporter for a gigantic corp have a sense of entitlement. But hearing it up close just makes Wayne Brady wanna choke a bitch.

                      Never even heard of that Britt chick, and she seems like a Grade-A bitch, but this is just another instance of the Perpetual Outrage Brigade. Pay no mind. It's just how things work now.

                        She's just a Grade-A ****, **** happens.

                        Tow truck lady should have just ended all that with "Yeah, that may be true but you're still here paying me aren't you?"
