How appalling is this? http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/articles/20021004/431311.html The a-hole thought it would be funny to call up the widow's hotel room in Phoenix and ask her if she had a date to last thursday's game. Thank god she hung up cause I'd hate to see what else this guy had in-store for her. At first the station just suspended him for a week, then later they fired him. Shockingly the D-backs GM said he agreed with the suspension, but he doesn't know if it required him being fired. What!?!?!? I would have walked into that booth, grabbed him by his F'ing hair and dragged him through the building and used his head to open up the door. Apparently that's what LaRussa said to, though in less words. He said if he ever saw this guy he's knocking him out. I hate the Cardinals, but this has absolutely nothing to do with sports or rivalries, it's about freaking human descency which apparently this guy has none of. Time to think about a new career you peice of s**t.
The radio station's "apology" is a joke. It claims a lack of malicious intent as an excuse. If they actually believe that one - they should be fired for stupidity. As for the DJ, he should start by changing his name. As for the station's listeners, where were their protests? Or are they brain dead idiots as well?
Yep, its pretty sick, but it has already been discussed, in this forum. https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=17668
I sent an email to two of the stations directors about how disrespectful and evil Beau Duran's act was and how it also reflected on the entire radio station, and this was the response I received from one of them (JJ Jeffries): "And you should know how all of us are as human beings, since after all you've met us right? You're just as indecent for not letting go of this and ignoring the bigger issues our country has right now. I'm embarrassed you're part of this country." He sends me this response and tells me I'm indecent for being upset enough about the prank to email the station about it? That's pathetic.
