Reynolds won't take ESPN's benching quietly

Story here. Excerpt:

'Reynolds admitted contact with the woman. From his lawsuit: "As he truthfully has stated publicly, in July 2006 he gave a brief and innocuous hug to a female intern. The intern, at the time, never expressed any discomfort and in fact had dinner with Mr. Reynolds at a Boston Market restaurant that same evening after he had given her this brief hug. Mr. Reynolds has never seen her since then, and upon information and belief she made no complaint until approximately three weeks later.

Maybe ESPN expected Reynolds to go quietly. In 11 years at the network, he had developed a reputation as a good guy and hard worker who did actual reporting, the rare athlete-turned-analyst who understands that even in an entertainment-first business there is value in journalism.'

When are (some) men ever going to "get it." No right thinking man would ever give a young intern at work a hug or any other form of touching and that includes handshakes! And in this case, he even took the skank out to eat as his guest. That was totally naive and stupid.

In my opinion companies have been grossly negligent in not promoting and providing seminars and forums on self protection from sexual harassment claims for their male employees. I think that could be a basis for a class action lawsuit.

This just in and for what it is worth: 18 yo FEMALE suicide bomber attacks troops. Yet another suicide attack by a FEMALE.
