I was just pointing out that ESPN is attempting to get out ahead of any 'social justice' campaigns as a business decision. Why would a company want or need to prove a point?
Sure, foster an environment where your employees know that if they make one false or awkward step you'll throw them under the bus. I'm sure morale will be at an all time high.

It's been that way for years. Why do you think many of the anchors try and be big at other networks? Some have succeeded, but many fail and have to crawl back to ESPN. ESPN is the 400 pound monkey in the sports entertainment jungle, and they can pretty much treat their employees how they want. ESPN knows a good portion of their staff has no choice but to stay if they want to keep getting paid.

Not sure who is running these boards, but who determines which posts stay on the "Hardcore Husky Board," and which get relegated to one of the outer territories? I've seen some completely irrelevant shit (like the top post on this thread) hang around, while much more relevant topics get tossed into one of the backrooms.
ecklund? kim? Mods? Help?

Huh?
ESPN has reached Kim GRINOLDSFS territory.
They're going overboard. They instruct guys like Screamin' A. Smith and Skip to be loud and opinionated, then suspend them for saying anything remotely controversial. Only a few kooks would take offense to any of those "incidents."

IF Max had hit his wife in the PRESENT ... then no problem with the suspension ...
For saying that his wife and he were drunk at a college party 20 years ago, going through the events, and then saying I'm sure that it was something he regretted, there's no reason to suspend him in my eyes for something done when he WASN'T your employee.

I've always enjoyed your posts, but you have got to be fucking kidding me. It happened over 20 years ago. Who is for domestic violence? Most civilized people aren't. Suspending him is stupid and ESPN is shit. I don't get what is hard about this. I guess fuck Kellerman for being honest. Let's get our pitch forks out for anyone who did something stupid 20 years ago. What the fuck ever happened to forgiving someone instead of punishing them for mistakes 20 years later? It's insane.
It's so stupid that we justify what crimes are worse than others. If he talked about getting a DUI 20 years ago, nobody would flinch. He could have killed someone though! If he talked about knocking a small drunk guy unconscious, that would be fine, but an open handed slap to a woman, oh no the terror! Break a guy's nose, giving him pain and medical bills, fine. Slap a girl after she slapped you, get punished 20 years later.
Lastly, ESPN is a fucking joke. They are huge hypocrites. This is the same network that has Charlie Sheen, a noted drug addict and woman beater, host Baseball Tonight and they frequently feature Lil Wayne, another drug addict who frequently raps about "bitches" who suck his dick, glamorizes dealing drugs and murder, etc.

Are some of you reading this as "I hit my wife last night and I didn't even feel bad about it either, dinner was cold"?
I mean good Christ.
