"...where he joked about wanting to have a threesome with his wife and NBC Sports colleague Kathryn Tappen."

Yeah, I would have fired him too. WTF was he thinking?

Women have similarly sexualized male athletes, the difference is it isn’t generally recorded. Anyone who thinks women — yes, in the industry — don’t fawn over male athletes is kidding themselves and is woefully naive.


Of course. Just human nature at work. There is an old joke that goes something like this: if men knew what women were thinking they wouldn’t be so polite.

You’d fire Frank Burns for whispering “Gosh darn it.”

Interesting sidenote: I just tried sharing the article on Facebook and got the following message: “This article can’t be shared because other people on Facebook have reported it as offensive.”

How many times has JR gotten in trouble? Admittedly they pay him to be controversial, but eventually that always ends the same. Sorry JR, you got nothing. Mostly because your comment could easily have resulted in Kathryn filing a harassment suit, that NBC would have lost. That’s firable.

Agreed. Actually never plan to go back to it. I am mostly done with professional (mlb still hasn’t gone completely nuts) and most D1 college sports (blatant anti-white recruiting practices).

At some organizations being straight is NOT a forgivable offense.
