Paul Pierce gets fired by ESPN for posting an Instagram video of him partying with strippers

[Rocko]

Yeah. Everyone is going to say this is bullshit, cancel culture horseshit, but it was a fair move by ESPN IMO. If you work for a large corporation that is imagine conscious and you post videos of yourself partying with strippers there can be repercussions. Paul Pierce is a victim of his own stupidity.

So, they got mad at him because he ignored idiotic covid rules.

It was the strippers. We’ve seen many videos of people in the sports business ignoring Covid protocols with no repercussion. ESPN is always preaching about women’s rights. Pierce made them look bad and really gave them no choice.

Pretty sure those women were willfully dancing and stripping right?

What’s your point?

You babbled something about women's rights....these women seem to be doing just what they want to do, or are you talking about them not doing what someone THINKS they should be doing like ESPN?

Yeah I don‘t believe the stripper industry violates women’s rights. There are also male strippers. And I told you that I have gotten strippers before. I keep telling I cast no judgement on getting strippers. There are people who do look down on it though. Should they, IMO no, but that’s another debate. ESPN determined what he did was bad for business and they fired him. I see no problem, especially since he was stupid enough to post what he posted. Would you post yourself hangIng out with strippers if you worked in a prominent position and were a public figure representing a large corporation?

If he was partying and dancing with gays and trannies though it would be acceptable. And since when is ESPN image conscious??

If he was hanging out with strippers I’m not judging him for that. I used to hangout with strippers as well, but I didn’t publicize doing so. He’s an idiot for doing that. There are many customers of espn that looked down on his behavior and think that someone in his position should be a better role model.

Anyone who watches ESPN has worse problems than a guy dancing with strippers

I don’t agree with ESPN’s politics and find their commentary useless, but I watch sports. Most people don’t let politics dominate their lives.

If you watch sports why are you bothering with ESPN? They are more political than many "news" stations now.

I watch espn when there’s a football or basketball game on. I just watch the game. I have no use for their analysis

So what your point then, of even bringing this up??

I personally think you’re stupid

Those customers of espn should reappraise their own behavior in how they criticize people. Nothing wrong with hanging out with strippers or sluts - my favorite type of people.

An adult that chooses to hangout with strippers is well within his rights and I’m not casting judgment. But if he makes it public he’s a moron. If I worked for Goldman Sachs I would get canned as. A lot of small business would fire their employees under the same circumstances

Honestly how was the clip any more offensive then some of the NFL halftime performances?

Whats offensive is subjective. Some people think those music videos are art. Some people think getting strippers is dirtbag shit.ESPN made a business decision. Well within their right.

Then Goldman Sachs would be at fault, not you. Small businesses who would fire an employee over harmless activity, are at fault. Who cares what is public ? Millions of cam girls are making a harmless living at what they do, and doing it 100% publicly. So ?

yeah you may not have a problem with getting strippers, I may have not problem with it, but there’s a large enough segment of society that have a problem with men paying women to objectify themselves and some think demean themselves.So if the company views are thats not the image they are looking to cultivate I have no problem with it. Just like I would have no problem with a sports team firing an athlete for kneeling.

Not the brightest bulb in the pack lol. I'm sure he doesn't need the money. Hell, he better not need the money, or he really received bad investment advice.
