Guy got fired from the
professional sports media organization. Another appropriate response to his dick
move.
Guy tweeted an apology. Once
again, an appropriate response to his dick move. (Who am I to judge an apology?
Whether heartfelt or lackluster, one was made)
End of subject. Everybody carry
on. The End. The horse is dead. RIP horse.
Oh wait! Lots of “gentlemen”
(note the “air quote” please) are bitchin that the guy should have never been
fired for the dick move. Srsly? Are
you boneheads seriously thinking that the dick move wasn’t really a dick move? What,
because you would have totally done it yourself if you had the chance to use
whatever professional standing you had to hit up some hottie who liked hockey? “Score!”???
Did your Mama drop you on your
head or did it happen when you fell off the turnip truck?
Now, everybody in the
hockeysphere knows what I’m talking about here. And it’s not like the boss of
the guy is my BFF or nuthin. I’m just sick to death of this freaking dead horse
getting bashed over and over.
Even if the dick move wasn’t
sexist, objectifying, and rude (which it was, among many other things-trust me
on that), now all these “gentlemen” expect to be told the who, what, when,
where and why of the actions against the guy.
Dear “Gentlemen” – it is not a
news story. It is also none of your business. You do not get to object. You
have no horse in this race.
Oh, you think you DO have a horse
in this race? What, is it some bro code you have to honor?
Ok, let’s take your horsie for a
ride…let’s suppose you did something in private that was exposed in public
because it was inappropriate and you should be stopped from doing it again. And
let’s say that not only did you seem to use your professional connections to do
this, but you did it in such a way that you insulted many customers of your
business. Then, let’s add that, based on reports, you have done this many times
to multiple customers. Oh, and let’s not forget the fact that by taking that
action, you tarnished the reputation of the company you work for. And, to top
it off, your company has to take just as much heat for it (if not more) as you
do, because your employment with them was their responsibility.
And that is all just from an HR stand point, nothing
personal. Here’s personal…the dick move was towards your sister, wife or mother.
Go explain to her why the guy shouldn’t have gotten fired. See what she says to
that. You’ll be sleeping in the stable for a long time coming.
Giddy up cowboy; you’re fired.
(Consider yourself lucky you didn’t get gelded before you got put out to
pasture, Mr. Ed.)
So, can everybody please just stop with the fucking whining and
bitching over a guy who made a dick move and got fired for it? The horse is dead. RIP horse.
