She had plenty of time while she was ranting to see that (a) she was overreacting, (b) it wasn't the fault of the person she was vilifying, (c) it is simply wrong to abuse a person like that, ESPECIALLY a person who hasn't had the advantages that she's had.

"You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”—Malcolm S. Forbes.

I'd like to see her fired. ESPN does not need someone of this caliber representing them.

"F"

From a company who recently tried to tow a car with the kids still inside.

A company that immediately tried to profit from the video.

Further, tow companies can be pretty seedy places as it is.

Yeah, I'm willing to bet there's more going on than what they cherry picked for the video.

you're a face for the brand. The brand can suspend or fire you whenever you do something that mars the brand name. No doubt the contract has requirements that you don't do anything publicly that would have negative economic effect on the company.

& her salary jumped from $4M yearly to $6M
Stuart Scott made $2M a year

@geahuwine

And yeah, i'm just basing that on the times i've been there, and had to deal with them, and stories from just about everyone else i know who's had to bail their car out. They're just fucking mean, hateful people, even when you're nice to them, they're just dicks, and you pretty much have to just suck it up, and grin and bear it, because you want your car back.

In steps privileged blonde princess who's used to everyone kissing her ass... when they're not impressed by her, and do how they do... she can't comprehend how she's not getting her way, she lets her true bratty, entitled, terrible human being self shine brightly... There's really no conceivable scenario where it would be ok to act like that, if you're not already just a shitty, ugly person

I never thought i'd side with impound yard people. She's done the impossible.

the woman told her she was on camera.

still not seeing a scenario where all the kind shit she's saying is warranted, other than she's just a snotty princess who got frustrated, and showed her ass.

She was just being a dick.

i only saw her point out the camera

I would never defend tow yard personnel, but this bitch here...

i seen worse on parking wars
Fuck your fort!

I love all the judgement being passed on her despite the obviously edited video and the absolutely dreadful reputation of these impound places in general and this one in particular.

We don't know what was said to her to cause her to react this way. FOH with this "no reason to talk to someone that way" nonsense when you don't know what was said to her to begin with. That whole company is trash and has a shit ton of complaints and a lawsuit on its hands.

A lot of you should probably take "blonde white woman on tv" out of the equation, look at the reputation and recent complaint history of the company, look at the way they tried shopping the tape around, how the tape is edited, and then reconsider your ridiculously based stance.

Never cool to down someone about their job no matter how caught up in your feelings you may be. Putting down someone making an honest living is foul. She deserved to be suspended.

Depends on how that person making the "honest living" treats you, and we haven't seen that part.

Someone making an honest living in a business that can be described as a racket at times who mistreats a customer who is spending a portion of their own honestly earned living that in turn supports the establishment who pays the worker to begin with? Yeah, I'm not shedding tears for that person.

I'm not surprised you are defending a person going in like she did but here is the thing...

she is an on air personality. Even if you were verbally abused you eat it because it makes ESPN look bad.

Anytime a person says "do you know who I am" it won't end well.

Fuck who you are... we got your car bitch.

>I'm not surprised you are defending a person going in like
>she did but here is the thing...

Funny to watch you defend a shitty company using clearly edited, one sided footage. Your excuse amounts to "what do you expect?", which is tacitly defending them from a horrible rep.

I'm only defending her because we only have half the story and yet many of you are passing character judgment with that half. A lot of you don't care about the opening salvo or the fact that two parties contribute to an altercation, you just look at who ultimately went harder. That's a character flaw on your end.

>she is an on air personality. Even if you were verbally abused
>you eat it because it makes ESPN look bad.

Cool. I'm not arguing the suspension. I'm not arguing against Disneys decision. I'm arguing against the character judgement of OKP. Notice how people keep bringing up Disney and not addressing the character judgment in light of half a story being told?

Yeah, particularly for the OKP course.

>Anytime a person says "do you know who I am" it won't end
>well.

That's the one element that makes her unsympathetic. I don't pity her, but again, without hearing the other half of this, your own character is questionable if you're passing a character judgement.

i wonder what the tow company employee was saying to the reporter.

fuck you.

still trying to justify her actions. FOH. I hate humans.

the impound lot employee was throwing it back too w/that shit about homegirl's roots needing a touch up.

the week suspension is probably just enough time for this to blow over. it's nothing.

fuck you.

Petty shit, but what were they going to do? Start scrapping? So of course they exchanged sharp words.

The apology is lame. I'm so tired of that shit. There needs to be compassion and understanding before there can be an apology. Ain't no one sorry lol.

"And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful." ~ 2 Tim 2:4

Because reasonable people can normally follow the signs and park where they are allowed, so you're usually left with over entitled arrogance. I've stopped telling people politely to move from our private car parks and go straight to towing now. I'm tired of people tell me how I should and shouldn't be able to enjoy the facility my business pays for.

Just IMO though.

Some of these towing places are complete rackets. I wouldn't doubt this place was one of them. I've had my car towed from a place where there was no sign warning of parking and the owner didn't call the tow place nor had a contract with them. In fact the owner of the lot had filed complaints against the towing company because it was hurting his business. Tow company was basically running a scam.

theyd get beat by a public school in sports
and yell shit like "its ok youll be working for us one day".
lmao.

I mean, I get it...tow companies have gotten a rep as notorious dickheads...fine. If you (the reporter), think you have legit beef...go at it in the right manner. All that shit about, teeth and weight, no skillset, yada, yada, yada. "I'm on the news" FOH, clown.

Until you see the unedited video, you really can't form any sound conclusion.

But nothing that's likely going to mitigate what Britt was saying on her end

In the face of such an obviously edited video.

We all know places like that can be insanely rude, so I'm just not comfortable passing judgment without the complete video.

I am not excusing her behavior...she was being a straight up scumbag but this is lightweight. People oughta be able to have off the clock moments of douchebaggery and still go to work the next day.

It's a sports network, that engenders a certain amount of everyman interest. Plenty of doormen, parking attendants, people in jobs who encounter that attitude daily are not gonna love getting their scores from somebody who explicitly says she's better than them because she has a degree and teeth.


Picture somebody sayin that at NASCAR.

Da bayball, babeh. (c) Charlie Kelly.

I was probably talked to like this by that same type of white woman at least once a week, just because I wasn't letting them behave poorly or break rules(throwing up and thinking they could stay, not letting them use the bathroom after closing time).

Though the sports show hostess' I work with are generally nice. But there's one thing for DAMN sure.....the only reason she got her job is cause she's pretty. Anyone think they hire unattractive women to read the sports news? So she really has nothing to be proud of.

not very knowledgeable about what they are looking at, very full of themselves, vain, etc.

there are exceptions for sure. sara orlesky is awesome, julie stewart binks is a cool ass person and tracy myers is a class professional, for example. a lot of the local personalities and ESPN women are suspect. i hear a lot of bad stories about erin andrews but in my limited contact with her she is pretty normal.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
