Not bad. Not great. But, not bad.
This was a form of sexual harassment by a woman in the workplace.
Anyone who has ever met a woman knows that insinuation is how she
slanders others in public.
Anyone who has ever paid attention to the drama of female-victim abuse
theory knows that the "silent plea for help" act is how femme fatales
recruit ready allies to bring attackers down on an innocent victim,
behind his back - without ever having bothered to go through the
niceties of confrontation or procedure.
The network shows gutlessness in not connecting the cause and effect,
here. It leaves her unexposed and unshamed by her actions. Therefore,
she is not only still in possession of a viable weapon (a female's mere
word) that frequently works against male co-workers, she can also
possibly turn this very incident around, in the future.
She SHOULD be fired for what she said. Sexual harassment laws cause MEN
to become fired over statements trivial of innuendo, as well. An
incident, like this, helps Men in a small way, but, not making a point
of it does little to send a public message.
We also need to start dragging women into courtrooms to solidify legal
precedents for helping Male accusers beat back the discrimination.
These laws are already on the books, and are highly abused against Men.
Like poor-little-pussy-protected blacks harassing isolated whites,
women use group tactics to harass the shit out of Men in the workplace,
as "the common enemy".
It's a rampant problem that doesn't get any serious attention because it
is the Affirmative Action playing employers who create it. When it
happens, they do everything they can to completely bury the guy, because
everyone knows who's really guilty and why....

Reporter who accidentally said hockey team had a lot of 'sex' on air is
fired as raunchy online videos from her past are unearthed
By Daily Mail Reporter

Comcast SportsNet Chicago reporter Susannah Collins was fired from the
network on Thursday after an on-air flub when she said the word 'sex'
instead of 'success.'
Reporting live earlier this week, Collins told viewers that the Chicago
Blackhawks hockey team had experienced 'a tremendous amount of sex
during the regular season.'
Undaunted, Collins quickly corrected herself from the slip of the tongue
but the network fired the journalist after the incident brought to light
a raunchy web sports series Collins co-hosted earlier in her career.
Ms Collins' gaffe became fodder for the web and comedians as the video
of the on-air flub quickly went viral, gaining thousands of views on
YouTube.
The sports reporter showed she had a sense of humor after the Tuesday
incident and seemed to be riding out the fame the mistake brought her.
'Erm, yeah. I meant to say success. My apologies, got a little tongue
tied. #ItHappens #Doh!' she tweeted after the incident.
'Thanks for laughing along with me & my "tremendous" slip, guys. Who
couldn't use a good chuckle every now & then right?? #Whoops!' she added.
But executives at the local sports network did not find the episode
quite so endearing.
Two days after the embarrassing incident, the network said that she no
longer worked there.
'Due to circumstances unrelated to her on-air remarks Tuesday night,
Susannah Collins and Comcast SportsNet Chicago have parted ways,' Phil
Bedella, vice president and general manager of CSN Chicago said in a
statement, according to the Chicago Tribune.
'We appreciate everything Susannah has contributed to our network over
the past year and wish her the best in her future endeavors,' the
statement added.
As of Friday evening, Ms Collins had not tweeted or responded to her
departure.
Though the Tuesday slip up was not blamed as the cause for her exit, it
reportedly brought attention to Sports Nutz, a raunchy YouTube series
that Collins had co-hosted with Sam Raddock.
Clips of the web series shows the two hosts pushing the lines of the
appropriate with sexually explicit references in their coverage.
The series was produced by Middlebrow Media and included 16-videos in
the series.
Collins has previously discussed how the series helped her launch her
career in sports journalism.
'Sports Nutz... basically entailed me and another girl giving snarky
sports commentary. I was making no money at all, but was happier than I
had been in ages, so I kept with it,' she told Chicago Sports Media
Watch blog in April.
She graduated from the University of Illinois in 2001 and lived in
London and New York, hoping to make it in musical theater.
The sports enthusiast had previously worked as a reporter for Showtime
Sports, the NFL Network and as a weekend sports anchor at WCBS-TV in New
York.
She was hired by Comcast in September 2012.
