Mike 670083[/snapback] i didn't know he was back at page2. I thought he was fired and it was a pretty bitter parting of the ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Renko Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 i didn't know he was back at page2. I thought he was fired and it was a pretty bitter parting of the ways. 670153[/snapback] He was fired for mentioning that Eisner and others at Disney were Jewish in his column. He was complaining about the fact that it was appalling to be releasing a movie like Kill Bill, with all its violence, considering the violence visited upon the Jewish people. A rather silly thing to say, but probably not worth firing him for it. Mind you, he wrote this on his blog on TNR, rather than on ESPN.com. Information on the controversy is found in his Wikipedia entry... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregg_Easterbrook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
