I don't know how you can work with someone who uses their platform as a public figure on twitter to villify coworkers and make them to look like monsters and damage their reputation.
Forget what Stephen A Smith said and look at how this was handled. When I say people are soft and overly PC, its stuff like this I'm referring to. Like I asked before, how hard would it be for Michelle Beadle to have contacted SAS directly and talk to him like an adult and coworker in a professional manner? What's so hard about that. Is she afraid of face to face conversation with someone she disagrees with?
How is going at him publicly soft?
He made a statement publicly and it was handled publicly.
If SAS manned up to what he originally said, properly clarified himself and apologized for his poor wording, this would no longer be an issue. Instead he used the initial confrontation as a chance to repeat himself word for word and to say that other people were wrong for misconstruing what he said.
Sometimes people need to be publicly shamed to see the errors of their ways. SAS's initial response tells me that he wasn't going to back down even if she handled it privately. SAS is a public figure and said something ON TV - why are you so sad that he is dealing with this publicly?
