Crazy to think that was a storyline on a show that recently. Although I suppose it’s been off the air for 6 years now. That would not fly today.

Well he got canned. Does he just disappear in baseball for a couple of years then take a low level job with some organization or does he fight back?

He should fight back. And also go scorched earth on this woman.

On one hand he's a moron, on the other hand I hate how so many of the situations only show up after the guy gets a high profile gig. This was inappropriate as hell in 2016 so why just bring it up now instead of back then?

Any idea of what country she is from? Based on her comments about the women's movement being far behind is it either Latin America or East Asia? You figure that South Korea, Japan, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, or Mexico? I can't imagine it is Canada. Or maybe Italy or the Netherlands? Those are the European countries that care a little bit about baseball? Maybe Australia? Baseball is getting more popular there.

Mets should have just suspended him without pay for a month, have him release some big boilerplate apology letter and go to rehab/counseling for a few weeks. We’ve got to stop this epidemic of mediocre arse women destroying the careers of successful men.

I never understand how these stories are supposed to end.

OK, he’s an idiot who definitely fricked up. He’s now been fired. Is that it? What job are you “allowed” to have after doing something like this? Is he just screwed for the rest of his life? Is one firing “punishment” enough”? There’s never an end game in this cancel culture shite.

So can he at least get his old job back?

Man what a drag to think you’ve landed your dream job as GM of the New York Metropolitans and instead you’re humiliated on a national stage and potentially fricked for life and have to try to latch on in insurance sales or something - probably go into debt in the meantime. Sheesh.

He destroyed himself. He clearly realized he creeped her out and still persisted. Do I think he should never work again? No. But let's put the blame where it belongs.

It’s not “cancel culture” when you get fired for having an extremely creepy and negative sexual harassment story that you are 100% guilty of hit the news cycle

But I mean his life was pretty good before he landed this job. It seems unfair that he can’t at least go back to that. Instead he’ll never work in sports again. He’d have been better off just being a content guy who never aspired to a MLB GM job.

I don’t think that’s true
He’s certainly not gonna be the GM of a big market team anytime soon

But he’ll go back to the analytics department of some small market team after a few months

Yes it is. The story was released years later with the sole purpose of getting this guy fired from his new job. What would you call it? Legitimate journalism?

I’m not following your logic here

He’ll do the traditional route of apology/rehab/rebuild a career at a smaller, low profile gig

If he gets his shite together, he’ll be fine.

But let’s not pretend like it’s anybody’s fault but his that he’s in this predicament

I’m just surprised a guy like Axelrod missed this
Hall is slipping.

So everybody should just keep quiet about this woman’s harassment because the dumbass that’s blasting unsolicited nudes to reporters got a new job?

Weird side to take in this, bro.
