Jeremy Roenick Sues NBC Sports for Anti-Straight Discrimination in Firing
Eleven replied to Tondas's topic in The Aud Club
Hostile work environment. Not saying she would, but she has a case. He probably doesn't. -
Not at his age.

Throw a ball (once she's older) to determine the dominant characteristic. Does she run circles around it until it stops and then look at you with satisfaction as if she's done a good job? Shepherd. Does she grab it in her mouth? Retriever. That used to annoy the heck out of me about the shepherd. Yeah, I would throw the ball to give him some exercise, but I'd have to be the one to go get it and throw it again!

I don't care if they go back to Canada, but I don't want them here. The economic impact and "cool factor" that they might have is not worth damaging all of the hard work we've done here.

Smoked whitefish salad sandwich at Risa's on Delaware Ave. It is heaven.

The Jays also start on the road at Tampa, don't they? I'm not so sure I want them here. Good. Stay in Dunedin.

Delicious.

Dr, Anthony Fauci, who IS NOT A POLITICIAN, has praised NYS for the job we've done. I again ask those from other states to refrain from visiting right now: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/18/fauci-holds-up-new-york-as-model-for-fighting-coronavirus-they-did-it-correctly.html

Jeremy Roenick Sues NBC Sports for Anti-Straight Discrimination in Firing

And this explains the generational difference, doesn't it? We went from "who shot JR" to "who hired JR." -
Frescos or houses? And I wish you had seen my edit.

Ah, let me tell you about the other grandfather, the sushi chef. (No, that would be a lie. He made monuments. Like the things you find at gravesites. And before anyone gets started, no, not the big statues.) EDIT: It was kind of the basic stuff, like this: PA SABRE FAN 1949-2022 "LINDY RUFF WAS THE GREATEST COACH EVER" But on a stone instead of an Internet message board.

Oh, no! Not my point! All I meant is that old-school bakeries had really good cupcakes and stuff that you can't find today at your local cupcakery. THOSE were gourmet cupcakes.

Let's assume, for a minute, that your last sentence is right. Problem is, he doesn't bring much value to the company so he's not worth preserving. Now, let's get into reality. Does NBC want to be sued by Tappen, who has a case, or Roenick, who probably does not? This is an easy decision for NBC. -
He died about a week after Brett Hull cheated, I'm afraid. EDIT: But his bakery on Grant Street was legendary. I had some random come up to me about ten years ago raving about the donuts and bread he used to get at some place called "Colonial" on Grant. Yep, that was his.

Omigosh she is adorable. She looks more like a retriever than a shepherd (except the jaw), but ,maybe she grows into it. Had an Aussie here. I miss him.

I keep clicking on your video, but it's a still.

Granddad was a baker. Old-school. You know, back when we had bakeries instead of cupcake shops. And you're wrong.

Why he was hired to begin with (I tend to think you are correct) has nothing to do with why he was fired (which absolutely must have happened given his comments on Tappen and Sharp). Can you even think about NBC's liability if they had allowed him to coexist with Tappen? Just because she's good-looking doesn't mean you're allowed to broadcast what you'd like to do with her. He's an ass. He acted like one. He finally got his. Let's see what comes out of the NYS court system on this; I'm betting that it isn't sympathetic to poor Jeremy. -

Sure, but it follows that an employer who takes adverse action against an employee because they're straight is doing so because that person has exhibited behavior or attributes that are deemed unacceptable because [the target of the employee's behavior] IS of the opposite sex. As we know, most of the civil rights canon originated as a way to protect women, people of color, and religious minorities. That doesn't mean it's ok for your employer to fire you because you're a white male. We know it isn't. I think the same standard is going to apply here. Unfortunately for Mr. Roenick, his behavior justifies his firing while Weir's may or may not. EDIT: I just re-read the article and I think his complaint might be under NYS law and not federal law anyway. -

I do read it that way. The phrase "protected class" does not appear in the opinion, but it's the only reasonable reading. Sexual orientation is now a protected class at the federal level, and of course that applies to all sexual orientations, including straight. Roenick's problem is going to be that what Weir said doesn't even come close to the level of what Roenick said. Well, I mean his problem with the case. Obviously, he has plenty of other problems in general. -
Nice, unbiased article. Just the straight poop!

Took me a minute, but well done. -
Is it really, though? To put on a mask and stay six feet away from strangers? I don't see it as a huge burden at all. There are now stores that aren't even enforcing the rules and have pulled up their six-foot distance markers (I'm looking at you, Speedway on Elmwood). I did ask someone to back up the other day, and he did, though.

Lots of places are doing stuff like that to satisfy the rule. Some bars don't have kitchens. Hotel Lafayette, which *does* have a kitchen, has come out with a dollar menu including a slice of cold cut (chef's choice), nine French fries, a basket of croutons, and a dish of grapes.
