OT- Feldman never suspended according to ESPN statement
According to an ESPN statement Bruce Felman was never suspended. Generic, cookie-cutter statement link here. http://www.espnmediazone3.com/us/2011/07/15/espn-statement-regarding-bruce-feldman/.
"There was never any suspension or any other form of disciplinary action. We took the time to review his upcoming work assignments in light of the book to which he contributed and will manage any conflicts or other issues as needed. Bruce has resumed his assignments."
Aw, I don't like this new director's cut.
Although you were already at 5, I upvoted you just because that is awesome. Well done. One swig of Victory Gin for you.
Nice touch with the "1984" bit.
That was my first thought. Didn't someone proofread that?
How can he have "resumed" his assignments? The backlash was more than they anticipated.
"Bruce has resumed his assignments." Anyone else wonder why he would need to resume his assignments if he never was suspended? Wouldn't he just be still working on his assignments? Maybe I'm just nit picking here
Damn phone wrang at work. lol when I started this post no one else had responded, Sorry to be repetitive
Edit- Fixed bad grammar and general stupidness
Why would he be resuming his assignments?
edit - beaten to the punch
Did they not see the impending negativity that would come with suspending Feldman?
ESPN quickly realized this was not going to end well.
At least ESPN realized its mistake and backtracked instead of realizing a mistake and burying their heads in the sand.
nothing but genius representing that lot.
I am guessing the #freebruce "campaign" on twitter by sportswriters from other outlets worked. Sports by Brooks covered this quite well.
Seems pretty clear to me. Feldman was never suspended, but his assignments were.
I would have liked to have attended that meeting....
ESPN: "Assignment A, assignment B, assignment C, you are all suspended until we further review each of you in light of Mr. Feldman's book."
Assignments: " "
Feldman (from afar): "Anybody seen any of my assignments?"
Shoot, when I saw this title I thought it was in reference to Corey Feldman and that he'd be coming back to the movies.
Why did Bruce Feldman get suspended? Or not suspended?
but what did he do again?
That made ESPN look bad
Ignore
