      SBR people are literally 20 years behind in their thought process. It makes me believe that most of these guys are in their 50s without a college degree with some of the stuff that is said here

          My thing is this they should fire more people over social media posts because 99 percent would not say the same thing to the persons face so why is it ok to blast it for everyone to see but not have to answer for it in front of them. And then where do you draw the line if you start there? Can someone find personal info about you, your kids, etc and say whatever they want too?
          People who can say something online but can’t say the same thing to someone’s face are just limp dick chicken shits period
          They should turn off social media... or if you have a lot to lose from a career of financial standpoint just don’t express your views on it. I follow and listen on twitter only and don’t post. Oh well. Either way- people are highly sensitive today about everything. Not saying it’s right but certainly if you held everyone to the fire on everything they’ve done in their life we’d all be fired, unemployed or worse. And yes, most people are limp dick chicken shit but that goes both ways.

            Duker's not really wrong though. I don't agree with going back in time and bitching about some guy's tweet when he was a teenager, like some interwebbers will do.

            As far as being fired or whatever, I think that employers need to adapt to the times and keep their people and social media in line.

            Most do that now. And there's a reason why.

            Unfortunately, the number of "rules" that govern that can be a book of 1000 or more pages where everyone just has to fall in line to a certain, obviously hypocritical, way of thinking.

            To even have a wardrobe and then be sensitive about a tweet is a terrible way to behave but why was he fired?

            Public outcry? ESPN complain?

            I see it was both.

              Because it’s a co-worker is the real issue. People say garbage all the time. I literally am on HR calls with my business and partners twice a week about questionable employee behavior. It’s going to happen. People make poor decisions all the time. We try to avoid firing people for being human and stupid.

                  Not a co worker.

                  A radio host.

                  But here is exactly what he said...

                  “NFL sideline reporter or a host for the AVN annual awards presentation?
                  They said it was degrading.

                  Who's more degrading? The radio host, or the people saying it's degrading?

                  It's something to think about.

                    If a black person in the media said that he'd probably still have his job and just be warned..

                      My bad- meant colleague in the same profession. If he said that about a politician or someone else nobody says anything.

                        This is always the question. The general public outcry is mostly the same constant hypocritical people.

                            You have to be more careful and smart these days when posting on social media.. Your job is at risk if you don't..

                            Bottom line in 2020!!

                              I acutally did a lightning edit because I mentioned coworker at first. I was kind of correcting what I said again I thought I might have confused you. I was confused...lol...but it turns out he's just a radio host.

                              It's a hot seat job these days and shock jocking used to get you to the top, now it just gets you fired because some dumbfukk or group of dumbfukks bitches about something.

                                It's true, shit like this used to get you more listeners. People like Howard Stern got huge on not just fans who wanted to hear what he would say next, but on the haters who needed to hear what he would say next.

                                Now the haters are empowered to action. It's a tough gig these days being in the public eye.

                                  It’s just tough because you can’t really have a true opinion on anything or say much outside of the current agenda or you will get attacked and fired. I struggle with ending people’s careers over mistakes or writing off a young person who makes a mistake. Everyone will make a mistake and you better hope it doesn’t cost you everything.

                                    Even comedians have to be careful.

                                    And much of it can be made up or inentionally misinterpreted.

                                    I couldn't imagine being famous. I post here, quite a bit, and there only so many readers, not that many. Out of all of that there is one dude that is so obsessed with me that I'm the only thing he posts about and he makes up all kinds of shit. I'm not even edgy or controversial.

                                    Could you imagine if you had 1 million "followers" how many of them would be nutcases like that guy?

                                    Sheesh.

                                      Daniel Tosh got in hot water because he was telling a bunch of rape jokes, some girl got offended, and he said wouldn't it be funny if five guys from the audience raped her right now.

                                        I wish people had the same passion and wokeness for firing their local and federal politicians who have been robbing them blind for generations. The joke is on us.

                                          Yup, freedom of speech and strong opinions are LONG GONE now if you are in the public figure especially. You can get really hurt now if you voice a strong opinion especially if you are not BLACK and or when criticizing a black celeb..

                                          Look what happen to Drew Brees when he tried to voice his opinion on not kneeling during the National Anthem. He got bullied in the media which forced him to apologize over and over again..

                                            Kevin Hart is a tragic story.

                                            Tragic.

                                                if you are black and you are fired you automatically get a lawyer. only good things will happen for you then. even if you sucked at your job

                                                    May have to take Landers word for it. If he has a history, this could have been the straw that broke the camels back. If this was a first time thing, I doubt he gets fired, even in 2020. Kinda like the Mike Milbury thing IMO.

                                                          I'm still not over how that great German Leader got chased into a bunker and he came out dead back in the 40's

                                                          the guy was an amazing organizer and leader of men, and he had some pretty good ideas.

                                                                        It seems misogyny, sports and gambling all intertwine together, everywhere.
                                                                        I would say SBR and barstool are very different. Barstool definitely has a more comedic take. To the most part they adjust with the times. As for the girls on that site, those girls absolutely volunteer to be on that site to increase the traffic to their social media sites. I would argue that that’s empowering them more.
                                                                        SBR doesn’t adjust and honestly they don’t really grow. Same people on here for years. And you are easily going to see racist and nasty remarks while yes over there you might be able to find old stuff that’s bad but they adjust. SBR could use an adjustment
