You Stay Classy Britt McHenry!

It's wrong to treat people as badly as she treated the tow company employee in civilized society. That being said, it's not important enough to warrant all the discussion and certainly not enough to warrant her being fired from her job. Just another example of our population being goaded into an emotional reaction by the media when we should really be pissed about much bigger issues that adversely affect many more people.

Oh, it is not important, that is for sure.

That said, given the leech that this woman is for working in this business, I don't judge McHenry as wrong.

That's completely up to the execs at ESPN. If they think it warrants her being fired, then it does. Whether fair or not, unflattering pics and videos that fall under a Google search are used against employees and job applicants all the time. This is especially true for those with an image to uphold (and likely have a moral turpitude clause written into their contract), such as someone that works on television. There was a high school teacher fired in California last year because her husband posted a pic to Facebook of him grabbing her breasts while she was in a bikini and holding a beer. That may not be fair but that is reality. If it's in the public realm, it's up to each employer to decide what is and isn't their business... and fwiw, Britt McHenry was apparently not very popular with her ESPN colleagues even before this video surfaced. None of them have come to her defense and TMZ has posted several comments (unnamed, of course) both from on air talent as well as a high level producer which both say how replaceable she is and that she should and hopefully will be fired.

...and by the way, is she really that attractive or does long bleached blonde hair have a halo effect? She is definitely not an Erin Andrews or Allie Laforce.

ESPN can certainly fire her if they wish. I was in no way saying otherwise. I do think that dismissal would be extreme... IMO. My only real point is that we have so much of this type of crap that inundates the news cycle and it truly is much ado about nothing.

I agree. That's what you get from a news cycle that is 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. There isn't always a terrorist attack or Obama screw up to talk about it.

No, people like Britt McHenry need their asses kicked!! What nerve of her to talk to people that way, especially to a woman who's just trying to do her job. There is nothing in this world that angers me more than to see the privileged try to ridicule and humiliate the not so privileged. No matter a person's social or economic status in live, EVERYONE deserves to be treated with dignity and respect!

She can talk all day long about having a degree and "skill sets." Let me tell you something honey, your "skill sets" are your bleached blonde hair and your tits. That's the ONLY reason why you and the rest of your beauty pageant contestants HAVE your jobs at places like ESPN. Networks like ESPN know the vast majority of their audience are male and they like to have pretty bimbos like you to look at while you mouth whatever it is you mouth on the sidelines.

Next time you decide to open your gaping maw, try to remember that you are EXTREMELY lucky to be in the position you're in in life and not everyone is so fortunate. Try to show a little humility next time and realize that people like the one you dealt with are just trying to do their jobs and it's not THEIR fault you got your car towed.

Lol. That's pretty much saying:

Every poster on Volnation should be respected and appreciated. No matter what.

Also, K-town Vol Fan is a tool and everything he says is stupid and should be ignored.

Really, that's ALL you have to say? So you don't find what she did deplorable?

There is no irony here. It would be ironic if I had said those things TO Britt McHenry with the intent to make her feel horrible. However within the confines of the Volnation forum I feel fairly confident that she will never read my words. Besides that, what I said was absolutely true.

I have never had my car towed (outside of wrecking it)
But why was she so mad at the tow company, they just didnt tow it because they were bored did they? \
Didnt a business or property owner of some sort have it towed, shouldnt she be mad at them?

This company is apparently notorious for just scoping out areas and then pouncing. Speculation that at least one of the area companies (Gold's Gym) gets a cut from the tow amount. Someone mentioned they were towed 1 minute after Gold's Gym closed in that area.

I am special. I'm smart enough to not treat a woman like a piece of meat, especially one in which she's being slammed for treating someone else like crap. Grow up.

Seriously. She shouldn't be treated like a piece of meat just because she's a foul-mouthed, arrogant snob...........and infinitely "poundable". It's just wrong for everybody to start with all the sexual stuff about her.....even if she is highly "doable" and everybody on here would like to "tap that".

I think it's a little beyond ridiculous that some of you think she should have been fired. Yeah she was a *****, but what impact does that have on her ability to be a sideline reporter?

I mean do Yall even realize that you are saying ruining someone's day is equivalent to losing one's livelihood? I know we can be rash and say dumb stuff, but are yall being for real?

exactly.

How many people here have seen average people cuss at someone during a normal day at a fast food place, at police, or at any other business? So should they have lost their jobs? or is it only ok because she's on tv?

Should she have her ass kicked? yes but she shouldnt lose her job because of it. Too many people want to fire everyone over the dumbest things instead of if they are actually able to do the job or not....

But there's a difference between an angry, dissatisfied customer lashing out at an employee over poor service or bad food, and trying to personally ridicule and embarrass someone about their physical appearance or their educational back ground. That's crossing the line and yes, the fact that she IS a public figure does make a difference.

Tow truck lady be like:

"You wanna compare brainpans? I won the Westinghouse prize when I was 12, big deal. Published at 19, so what. I got a double doctorate from MIT at 22, Chemistry and Geology. I taught at Princeton for two and a half years. Why do I do this? Because the money's good, the scenery changes, and they let me use explosives, ok?"
