Are you rolling your eyes at me? AT ME?

Seriously, have you guys not seen the many many times people were fired for tweets?


It happens. Its about the reaction, not the tweet. If enough people react, bosses make a move.

I think you may be missing something here



GD - she's not a sideline reporter. She's one of the desk people at Comcast for the local game broadcasts.
edit = maybe she does both. I've seen her at the desk during Hawks games a lot

Agreed, but it's pretty bad to specifically say "I have no interest in her work, just Boobs"


Reel it in a bit, Dan

I usually try not to take things to certain levels - but would your reaction be the same if a public pseudo-celebrity was using social media to comment like that on one of your girls while she was working?
Of course not. It is highly inappropriate and degrading.
Dan does not get this because he doesn't have a daughter.

The fact is these young girls are hired to be eye candy,smile nice and read a teleprompter!!!

Dan is inbounds with his sexist comment because that is WHY THESE GIRLS ARE HIRED in the first place. He should not back down and stand his ground.

There will be a very slowly spoken apology this afternoon at a minimum.

Or he gets suspended and SQNevents loses half their bookings.

Hmmmmm........cave man....make fire!

Have you seen some of the guys on TV? Some are just as bad and pretty boys. Sarah Spain would be in deep too if she used twitter to say "cock"....."can't concentrate because of his huge cock"...."#cock" about Ryan Chevarini or some other himbo.

Wasn't he the same guy complaining about how scantily clad the Hawks ice girls were dressed?

While not appropriate it is not something to freak out about like he tried to sexually assault her.

This could be a joyous day.

Howard Stern can.
Mr. "I'm evolved and taking on the social injustices of the world from my bully pulpit" cannot.
He should receive a lot of heat for this.

Agree.
I do not think that Dan Bernstein tried to sexually assault her through Twitter.
I hope Kyle Long doesn't either, that could ugly fast if so.

And lots of good work already in this thread. These are the days when this board is awesome.

I'm a caveman because I'm defending a guy's right to admire a rack on twitter? We are all cavemen when it comes to a woman's body. He spoke what he was thinking.

Here is a tip: Stay the hell off of twitter. It's crazy how much trouble people get in.

Kyle Long strikes me as the type of person who's just itching to fight. A little unhinged if you will.

I think this has less to do with what was said and more to do with who said it.

Grimace isn't in the clear either. He made this comment about Jen Lada earlier

@MattSpiegel670: @AdamHoge @KapandHaugh Too busy enjoying @jenlada

The original tweet was about the IT guy in the background but he was too busy oggling her. Fucking creepy.

What would have been an acceptable comment by Dan:

"I find it hard to concentrate on what she is saying because I'm distracted by her beauty."

Not quite the same bite as what he said.

For me it would be fun for some media type to do the digging for the wildebeast and all the rest of his classics.

Right, we just read his Twitter feed.

Yes he was, and the use of "The Stripper" whenever the woman chosen to be the eye candy for "Shoot the Puck" was stepping up to shoot. Brittany Greiner breeding, wildabeests, Dick Vitale/Joe Namath disgust...but he's evolved on his show right? It's not that he said boobs...it was that he was objectifying a colleague. So if the station starts talking about Dan's One Step philanthropy should we not believe in coincidences (like the Hawks commercials during Sharp's issues?)? I believe City of Fools discussed in another thread about how Dan's on-air persona and him as a person are different. Well the social crusader of the radio is being shown to be a hypocritical tool by his tweets. You don't get to be a douche on air, advertise your twitter account on air, and then use said twitter account to repeatedly objectify a colleague. He didn't say it once....he owned it
