I don't pay too much attention to the show, so like I said I don't know if the advertisers threatened to pull out or how the chemistry on the set was.
I forgot that the George guy was actually gay, I know people do like him.
I don't personally care that he got fired, I'm just very hesitant to accept the trendy idea that saying something offensive is grounds, by itself, to get one fired.
I mentioned the Rocker thing because people were demanding Sheffield lose his job. I think Gary is a moron and a racist, but I also think you should allowed to be a moron, a racist, and a professional baseball player. The same goes for Hollywood, etc...I get very uncomfortable in situations like this, and Imus or whatever where advocates and media members openly say that "ideas like this just can't be tolerated anymore".
