Didn't Rob Gronkowski sexually assault this host?

    Sounds like Dick wants to pitch a story to Rolling Stone.

    But her reply was so tone deaf as to what actually occurred. She thinks it's hypocritical that women called her out on it, rather than support her, because she doesn't get the struggle that women have had to attain respectability in sports journalism. You (and she) don't consider her a journalist? I get that. But to most people, her position is no different than one held by someone like Robin Roberts. And she sets back all women who try to cover sports the same way their male colleagues do when she asks for a lap dance from an All-Pro tight end and adds in a little tongue to emphasize the point.

    As for the "assault" part of it, I'm not dignifying Dick's thread by discussing that aspect.

    “If you had a chance to make some more money using, maybe, me ...” she said. “Wanna maybe show us a little Magic Mike?”

    Not that's how you end a debate.

    Dick is exploring a new revenue stream for law firms: Go to strip clubs, pay for lap dances, then sue for sexual assault.

    There's no fucking way a plaintiff's lawyer hasn't tried this already.

    The first response answered the question.

    No, it didn't. The answer was clear before this started.

    God help us if next year a reporter asks about Dancing Bears.

    She stuffed money in his pocket and she was clapping afterward. I'm not seeing sexual assault.

    There may be a larger discussion to be had about players' status as role models though. Wouldn't surprise me if some teen-ager who looks up to him tries this in a less welcome circumstance and it doesn't end well.
