And in this case it's Irvin who is suing. The woman and the hotel are the ones being legally accused of wrongdoing. Burden of proof is on the plaintiff.
And if he was fired the liability would go against the company not necessarily the plaintiff .
being right about Zeke's outcome was hard? BUt you were not right about Zeke. He has been a model citizen since that happened. They wanted Zeke's head on a platter, no matter what evidence or lack of they had.
wrong, wrong, wrong.. HR would have to show that Irvin violated the terms of his contract. HR WOULD HAVE TO SHOW, not Irvin prove he didnt. In the end, The NFL Network can do anything they want and then it would be up to Irvin to go to court to show they violated his contract.... and this case you are also talking about damaging his reputation. So if Irvin could show the NFL Network damaged his career with no proof of wrong doing, he could sue for lost future earnings. But, why do you think Irvin has not filed any suit against the NFL Network??????? Because as of today he has no case against them as he is still getting paid.
why should Mike's background matter but not his accuser? and based upon the fact this little interaction was between 45seconds and miunte, there is NOTHING he could have said that should cost him his career... NOTHING. The FACT is he didnt touch her, he didnt intimidate or threaten any violence against her... so please get off the end a man's life over a 45 second interaction.
and it doesnt appear to me this will be hard to do based upon what we DO KNOW right now.
wrong again... if he is fired over this it would be because of the accusation made against him... BY THE EMPLOYEE. You can sleep easy knowing she would also be held responsible if he were to win any suit against the hotel as it was the accusation that got this rolling. Just know if I were involved in this case as any lawyer and you were in the jury pool, I better get you dismissed first day during selection as you have never seen a case that involved some accusation of a woman against a man where you were ready to hang the man the second the accusation was made.
That's not an excuse at all.
Literally minutes after you posted this:
He lost a lot of money, because he was pulled from SB coverage and an appearance on ESPN's First Take. Technically not fired, but for all intents and purposes, it's the same thing.
What is stopping a woman from walking into a store, telling the manager one of his employees grabbed her there, and walking out? She doesn't have to prove anything.
Since we do not know anything about this woman, her job title, her tenure or what she reported to her supervisor, that may be the evidence for the hotel, the word of an employee.
This is why they tell male teachers never meet with any female students behind closed doors.
He met her in public at her request. Your comparison doesn't make sense.
You really do struggle with logic LOL are you the one that claims to have the criminal justice degree? If so that's shocking. My point was is there are those claiming that Irvin's past doesn't matter but these are the same people that will say the women's history matters. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy and you have been proving my point. As to the 45 seconds you have to be clueless to think something couldn't be said in those 45 seconds that could be considered harassment, intimidation, a threat or inappropriate. The fact that you use that as exoneration shows that you probably failed your criminal justice course if indeed you took one
But what if Marriott didn’t respond as they did with the complaint?
That’s right. NFL network can do whatever they want. That’s what I’m saying. Their HR ultimately has the power . And yes they are liable for that decision.
My argument about Zeke being suspended held up. Just because he hasn’t had any public sexual misconduct since we don’t know if he’s been a model citizen or not.
It's a vacuum.
I guess you miss my point. Point being I dont care what he said.... he could have said something completely sexist, completely uncalled for.... and it still shouldnt cost him his career. We just now live in a world that is so quick to say a person said this or said that and they should never be able to work again. So listen carefully.... NO MATTER WHAT HE SAID, it shouldnt cost someone a career. Would it make him a jerk? Maybe. Someone you wouldnt want to hang out with? Maybe... but nothing he said would be criminal. He isnt her boss. He is not in a position of power over her. You should understand the difference and why one would be illegal, and the other nothing more than a pig.
