The Gloria Allred situation disgusts me. But she disgusts me pretty much with everything she does. The worst type of attention seeking lawyer.

I think how the Braves handle it and how the family handles it are separate issues. I can’t call for the dad to be fired although if I could…

I would completely agree, if I hadn’t seen this from Gloria Allred’s press conference with the entire family present, including the two young kids:

Once I hear the name “Gloria Allred” I automatically question the victims motives.

I usually am not in favor of firing someone for 1 stupid mistake… but the kid part of it really drives me crazy. The Braves have showed a lack of courage by not taking more of a stand. They have remained pretty quiet.

I would have more respect for the guy had he resigned citing the enormous distraction and horrible representative of the organization he had been. He could have taken the high road and come back in a few years and mostly everyone would forgive him by then.

Well at least the signs at Braves road games will be interesting.

Craig,

Thank you for not using the word homophobic or any variation of it.

McDowell still doesn’t deserve to keep his job though.

You’re right. I can think of no other job where there wouldn’t be a zero tolerance for actions like this.

I bet he doesn’t repeat those comments again, b/c he’ll get fired. Amazing how folks learn their lesson when their job is on the line. Probably should have been canned to begin with.
