Comments on: Must Read http://www.thegoosesroost.com/2009/10/must-read/ Where procrastination and sports hang out Fri, 10 Sep 2010 13:24:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: PKB http://www.thegoosesroost.com/2009/10/must-read/comment-page-1/#comment-3971 PKB Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:54:41 +0000 http://www.thegoosesroost.com/?p=6809#comment-3971 I think the idea that Deadspin was being malicious in outing these people (which they were) is ancillary to the actual stories told. They paint a picture much worse than adultery. It’s not too much to ask that your employees behave themselves in an ethical manner. Now, it goes without saying that Deadspin has lower standards for their sources than the MSM. So the validity of all their claims is rightfully called into question. ESPN would be wrong to do nothing if the people mentioned in these reports were to insist they’re innocent. Their status within the company makes them public figures. ESPN’s reputation is tied to that of its high ranking employees and it should stand by them if they are unjustly called into question.

But even if that's true, Deadspin's post was malicious and irresponsible. It was pretty much the embodiment of what people hate about blogs. (Minus being written from someone's mother's basement, of course.) I have no doubt that ESPN is a cesspool of harassment and other sexual adventures.
