A former Pittsburgh Steeler is among three analysts suspended Monday night by the NFL Network over sexual harassment allegations.

Ike Taylor was named in a lawsuit by a former NFL Network wardrobe stylist.

The woman claims in the lawsuit that Taylor sent her lewd pictures of himself in the shower.

Former players turned analysts Marshall Faulk and Heath Evans have also been named in the lawsuit.

They have also been suspended by the NFL Network.

Two strong men of color being singled out, they threw the other guy in to throw people off the track.

Where they in the shower with him? Sounds a little flaky.

Remember back a couple of years ago when WOMEN REPORTERS DEMANDED they be let into NFL LOCKER ROOMS ?

OK, now it’s getting absurd. To expect NFL players to treat women with respect is ludicrous. The goal in the past was to get them to stop beating women: There was never an expectation of proper behavior towards women. This is really raising the bar:) Of course, anything that makes the NFL look bad is OK with me.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes I do.

No they don’t.

LOL

[tennmountainman]

They are dropping like flies.

This is just the NFL Network.

I think the NFL itself should follow suit. Suspend any player that has (allegedly) mistreated or harassed a woman at any time.

Then kneeling for the National Anthem will be the least of their problems.

Cantor said she also complained about other working conditions at the network, including a failure to reimburse her for expenses and a lack of compensation for the hours she worked. She was terminated by her supervisor at the NFL in October 2016, when she was 51, and replaced by a 30-year-old, according to the complaint.

So complaining about working hours and wages wasn't working... So add that sexual harassment stuff and you're sure to get your job back... Or at least a nice payout.

If the allegations of texting and sending videos are true, it should be rather easy to corroborate... Unless she deleted them by mistake.

I wondered why I tuned by there on Sunday and Steve Mariucci was the only analyst on the set.

Rule 1. No matter how successful you have become, no one wants to see your dick.
If you are wondering when is the appropriate time to send a picture of your dick to someone, that answer is “Never”. Never works every time.

Suspend any player that has (allegedly) mistreated or harassed a womany at any time

That's not enough!! The standard that's being applied now is (allegedly) making a woman feel uncomfortable or doing something "icky".

Of course, it's guilty until proven innocent. Who can prove their innocence? It's near-impossible to prove that something never happened.

I'm a Luddite. I respect and enjoy the imperfections most of us mere mortals sometimes exhibit.

Sapp and McNabb are named as well

Now, that would be entertaining. This is a great way to really put the hurt on the NFL. There are too many un-Americans still watching: This could be an excellent plan B in the quest to kill the NFL.

[Howie66]

Okay. Since I no longer watch or even tune in to the NFL Network, I guess that I won’t be missing anybody.

“......... now it’s getting absurd”....

Getting? The whole “National Felons League” has been absurd for along time, it took someone with courage to challenge them and it was “Full Speed Ahead” with the stupidity, protests, etc. Most players have never been accused of being overly bright.

[VietVet876]

Michael Sam might want to see his dick.

I meant the "hashtag me too" movement was getting absurd, because it is ridiculous to expect proper behaviour from NFL players: NFL players behave badly by definition, that's how they are supposed to act.

They have angered us fire ants. We don't and won't play fair. Go get 'em!
