The guy was never charged with domestic violence, yet this reporter would never leave it alone. Quick question here, did anyone ask her to apologize?

The Astro dude was a fool, and deserves to lose his job. The Astros handled it poorly, and probably deserve the distraction it has become. But why is that the only focus?

There is enough media coverage these days to dissect every little thing these guys do wrong. Do we really need reporters hounding players years later about things they were accused of? I read a lot of sports news....the stuff I don’t read is about what the players are doing off the field. Good or bad...I just don’t care. And especially years later. The horse is dead, stop beating it!

Go onto the Seahawks forum. I promise you I will get “I told you so” from at least two posters the very next time Penny has a decent play...despite the fact that he hasn’t done jack for a long time. It is human nature. This guy grew tired of the reporter hounding a dead subject and took a very stupid route to showing her “I told you so”.

If she hadn’t still been beating this horse over a year later, would it have been an issue? They both deserve some blame here, but one lost his job and the other will be stirring hornets nests even more because it made her famous.

Hell, you read it a few days ago....Frank beat women. No, no he didn’t, but some irresponsible reporters wrote the story that way!
Good post.
I hope the people who support this reporter's crusade to defame a man without evidence, then get his management fired for objecting to his defamatory treatment find themselves in this man's shoes someday.
It has become very clear to me that the Sports media is just as liberal as the rest of the media (ie Curt Schilling still isn't in the HOF) so you won't find any published opposing opinions on this issue. Check out this Mike guy get eviscerated on Twitter just for considering the other side of the issue.

How can anyone defend Taubmans actions? Even if she was against DV and outspoken about the move, the guy is the 2nd in command for a franchise in the World Series. Anyone who defends him is a piece of shit

I can see how he would be annoyed but yes how he handled it was horrible. Public figures need to be able handle criticism without losing their minds.

I didn't see anything to draw your ire here. But, you don't feel that one reporter tweeting about DV every time a guy pitches for over a year is over the top a bit? If someone did that the entire time Frank Clark played here, would we all have just shrugged it off? I know I wouldn't.

Read my post again. The guy was foolish, and deserves what he got. But this reporter is now famous. How hard it must be for her. The big bad man shouted at her? Come one....Sherman and Bennett did much worse while here....the story died. Why is that?
