To clarify, I worry it may ONLY be talked about because of her gender. I think all journalists have to build a relationship with the people they cover, and I’m sure quite a few walk a very fine line. 2 Quote

If a male reporter was seen hugging a female exec in a private moment you don't think it would become a thing? We disagree on that Quote

Coach Tuesday Posted April 8 Posted April 8 She's also one of the highest-paid journos out there. Her Athletic contract made waves a couple of years ago, was rumored to be $1M or so just to write scoops. In an age of consolidation/mass layoffs/older journalists being edged out. So the spotlight was already on her. Quote

Behindenemylines Posted April 8 Posted April 8 Didn’t two careers and two families get blown up for a similar thing on the Jumbotron at a concert recently? And become a world wide meme and joke? I bet this is just a long game play by Vrabel to gather sympathy from the refs when he’s screaming at them every play next season. “ hey let him yell all he wants and give him a few PI calls, dude just got caught by his wife and the national media”. Patriot sneaky cheating 2 Quote

Sad as it is, many men tend to be misogynistic, not all but an all to large of a percentage certainly are, as you stated about the comments on this, show this to be the case. 1 Quote

Weird. Because who is to say Russini won't lose half of what she's got of her husband walks. Not to mention she could possibly lose her job, her credibility in her career field as well as those "mean names". All things no one is remotely thinking are a possibility for Vrabel to face. See the one way thought process here? Edited April 8 by BuffaloBillyG Quote
