Michael Irvin Removed from NFL Network Superbowl LVll Coverage

[Mr. WEO]

If their employee came to them and reported this, is Marriot supposed to ignore her claims about Irvin's alleged comments/behavior while she was on the job?

 

What is the basis of his suit?

[MJS]

It's just a he-said, she-said case now. I can see both sides. One of them is lying.

 

Rich and powerful people like Irvin think they can get away with anything, though. Add alcohol and you have a walking, talking,  potential lawsuit around every corner.

Wonder how many times that line worked for big mike?  

[Saxum]

Many times accused will find witnesses "who saw nothing". 

People have been murdered and with people in room and some people will have seen nothing.

It all depends on your point of view and how much you were paying attention to that particular thing at that particular time.

Florio already starting to tiptoe backwards...

 

 "Reasonable minds may differ as to whether the characterization does or doesn’t mesh with Marriott’s version.

That’s a potential problem for Irvin, frankly. He’s accused of making lewd comments to the employee. He has admitted that he had been drinking. If the employee has told a consistent, unimpeachable story to Marriott management and NFL representative(s) who investigated the situation, it could be difficult to prove that her explanation fails to match the video."

Where are all the witnesses he said he had with all their stories? Don't see anyone close enough to overhear that whole conversation.

Why wouldn't he change his opinion when new info comes to light? It's what reasonable people do.

The video was inevitably going to put shade on his shoot from the hip original opinion.  It was an unforced error.

Reasonable people don't jump to conclusions in the first place.

Of course, I'm sure the bar area was nice and quiet as well...

[Mr. WEO]

I don't understand why he's not suing the NFL or the network that pulled him off the game?

 

Makes no sense to sue the hotel when they were simply reporting an incident an on the job employee made and that the NFL asked the hotel to do beforehand.

“I don’t really recall that conversation, to tell you the truth,” Irvin told the Dallas Morning News. “We were out drinking. It was just a friendly conversation. ‘What’s up?’ I don’t even know. … I am totally perplexed. That’s honestly all that happened.”

he doesn’t know, he doesn’t recall….yet he states “honestly, that’s all that happened”.  
 

lol dumbass.  He needs a gag order

[BillsShredder83]

Irvin s clearly drunk af.  He keeps pushing his hips forward to her, its not over the top, but noticeable. She steps back, seems noticeably offput but an elbow touch.  Weird thing to react to unless hes acting like a pig.

 

Just have a hard time believing all that is coincidence, especially with his reputation.

 

Not to mention, she had nothing to gain here, HE filed suit, not her.  Pretty logical something happened and she went to a boss to ask to not be put in the situation again. Very reasonable request by a nobody trying to do her job.  Then he tosses around lynching comments, and sues them?  Hope she countersues, this threw a wrench in her life because he couldnt handle a little heat

[strive_for_five_guy]

Just watched the video, and I think this whole thing gets thrown out on both sides.  Even if Irvin said what the woman claims, I don’t see how it’s going to be proven.  And yeah, repulsive if he said what she claims, but her body language appeared at ease to me, versus trying to walk away and get back to work.  If anything, her boss/coworker appeared annoyed when she got back, so it’s possible she altered the version of events even a little, to cover her own butt.  And then realized she had to carry on with that story, for the sake of her job.  
 

Again though, I don’t see how the video and her word will implicate him.
