A number of current and former NFL Network employees, including Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk, have been suspended from their duties pending an investigation into disturbing sexual harassment allegations by a former employee. Faulk, Heath Evans, Ike Taylor, Donovan McNabb, and former executive producer at NFL Network Eric Weinberger are among those accused, in a complaint obtained by Bloomberg. Weinberger is now the president of Bill Simmons’ media group.

Looks like we are just now starting to see how far this goes. I'm sure other organizations will start dropping talent too as the man culture that has been allowed since forever is now being attacked. There are a lot of guilty people out there.

There are a lot of guilty people out there ... both male and female.

Why would you even add the "and female in there? (Is that this topic's equivalent to Trump's "There are some very fine people on both sides" gaffe?)

Do you know many women who are guilty of sexual harassment? Do you know any at all? I've been in the work force, civilian or military, for 42 years now, and I still have never seen it.

Something sounds amiss when one woman claims "sexual harassment" by at least five different individuals at one job.  Which by the way comes when she is suing for wrongful termination.  I get the feeling this woman is twisting the facts and circumstances due to the current climate of hysteria to make a monetary gain.

I didn't put much thought into it actually so not trying to manipulate anything. As for the other question ... yes I have. Twice in fact where it was definitely uncomfortable. When I was 17 I had a superior in a furniture store stalk me ... even circling my house at times. She backed me against the wall on a couple of occasions in the store and used to rub up on me to the point everyone knew it. She was probably about 35 and it actually did freak me out.

The other was a female superior who is an engineer. If you can imagine a New York construction worker in a female body then that was her. She constantly tried to "shock" me.

Neither one scarred me but legally they both harassed me and pretty blatantly. In my opinion I think most people probably have been at one time or another.

I was thinking the same thing. She could be legit but it sounds like she played as being "one of the boys" and then is using those conversations as a weapon. I wonder what they will come back saying.  If they really did these things unprovoked then that is super disturbing.

I'm sure there are quite a few.  Sexual harassment is not about sex.  It's about power.  Go watch Disclosure and Horrible Bosses, then get back to me.

Did you really just reference two fictional movies to support your point? Wink

Based.  But with the roles reversed.

I am with Sunstroke on this one.  Does females harrassing males in the workplace exist?  Yes, occationally.  But the problem is extremely rare in comparison that the point of mentioning it is just a diversion from the real problem. 

A common tactic of the oppressor.  Blacks owned slaves too and for a period of time whites could even be indentured serveants of blacks in Virginia so American Slavery wasn't about white opperssion of African-Americans it was a problem on both sides.  The Nakam Group attempted (but failed) to poison the water supplies of Munich, Berlin, Weimar, Nuremberg and Hamburg, so the Jews were no better than the Nazi's. 

As for believing victims/accused.  If one women accuses multiple men without any collertatory evidence I am skeptical of her accusations.  If multiple women accuse the same man I consider that proof.

I can delete the whole “woman” thing. It really wasn’t relevant to the story.

The female pervs are primarily in k through 12. Due to their limited power I suppose.

hahahaha ... They were discussing this on the radio and they said he NFL Network has basically operated as an extension of the locker room and the guys didn't change their behavior from their playing days.  I guess the NFL network doesn't have an HR Dept.  Shocked

Since "you" haven't seen any.
 
Andrea Ramsey, a Democratic candidate for Congress, will drop out of the race after the Kansas City Star asked her about accusations in a 2005 lawsuit that she sexually harassed and retaliated against a male subordinate who said he had rejected her advances.

okay so you found an example.  I can cite you examples of black slave owners.  Doesn't change the fact that slavery was overwhelmingly an issue of white oppression of blacks. 

I can find you examples of Jews cooperating with the Nazis.  I can find you examples of Native American's breaking treaties with the US government.

But claiming that this is a two way issue is the same as Trump's 'good people on both sides" or blaming the protesters for the shootings at Kent state.
