Are you doing this again next June?

I always hated Sullivan and that part of the media. Guys who have never sniffed a field who just ask questions to get under players’ skins. And it happens in a lot of fields now. Just say crazy things to get attention, good or bad. 
 

that said, it is a part he plays. My mom’s boyfriend is good friends with him and he’s actually a pretty decent guy. But it was time for him to retire anyways.

Agree. The employer has every legal right to fire him. However, the punishment sure does feel extreme. A heart felt apology by Jerry should have been enough. Imho, it's an overaction. I always liked Jerry because he often asked questions or made comments that others were afraid to make. There is worth and value in that. Look at the 13 seconds and how that was pretty much swept under the rug. Never would have happened in a market like Chicago, NY, or Philly. Coach McD and others would have been pressed and pressed until the media was given some resemblance of a credible answer. With Jerry gone, now there will be a happy circle jerk for everyone . 

 

Times have really changed. I remember the days as a kid when there was a good old fashioned fist fight. Not anymore. 

Great take Newcam.  I loved Sully's writing for years.  The guy is sharp, knows sports real well and has a little bite and lots of wit.  I remember when he was on the bills radio pregame show years ago.  He was great.  He got a little nuts being negative about women football fans.  But I have heard a lot worse in my day.  I still will always love his writing, like any sports fan should.  

 

Not a lot of good fist fights anymore.  Although I did almost see a big fight at the Elbo Room on Fort Lauderdale Beach on Saturday nite.  A gal started running her mouth after she bumped into a guy minding his business, and would not say excuse me, and it just sort of escalated from there.  My girlfriend started chirping at the other chick, and it was one push from exploding.  LOL  That place is an old school party.  A must see place for anyone visiting S Florida.

No. Im okay with him losing his job in this situation. Not just for this comment but his overall demeanor toward the teams he writes about. We need a journalist that will ask tough questions, but we dont need them to be a dick about it.

 

In general (not Sullivans situation), I am lamenting a culture that allows no room for mistakes without life altering consequences. I am in favor of a society that helps rehabilitate people more than punish them.

 

OK.  How many (relatively impactful) mistakes in a professional context do you think employers should allow?

Was he a bit too eager that he didn't quite give you enough gas and you sat up to see him like this....?

Just a comment that I did not say the things quoted and attributed to me in your post.  They were said by Einstein.

 

I don't know how they wound up attributed to  me, but for courtesy and to avoid confusion, I would be obliged if you could correct the attribution.

You could edit your post to delete the quote and paste in this link instead.  Thanks.

 

 

 

I just quoted what was in the thread as your post....not sure I follow what you are saying attributing things to you?  I just deleted the post anyway, no big deal.

and was kicked out of the clubs he was associated with.  i heard about it first when a member of a dinner club where he was also a member asked me about him.  they were planning to remove him even before it hit the news.

The First Amendment does not say what you think it says.

It says exactly what i think it says,  which is the same as what you think it says.

He's safe in one situation pertaining to his stupidity,  but not in another. 

The irony is he should know better due his profession.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people fail to comprehend what the first amendment actually says, and what it actually protects.

There seems to be this notion that "free speech" means "protected from any and all potential consequences, including being let go by a privately owned business because you're hurting their bottom line".

Any time a company says "you're not worth the trouble you're causing our company with your comments or actions, so we're letting you go", many conflate it with an "infringement on free speech" and scream about cancel culture. In actuality, it's just an example of free market capitalism in its purest form. No more, no less.

Many of the people that scream the loudest about the constitution have never actually read it.

 

It reminds me of when Hank Williams Jr. cited the 1st Amendment when he and all his rowdy friends got kicked off Monday Night.

 

How'd that lawsuit go?
