She's a Northwestern school of journalism grad student.  Book smart, but that was stupid. 

[Blackhat]

She did the right thing.

Gotta go Hollywood on that attendant, she had no other choice.

Lesson learned.  Never tow a hot blonde's car.

[Skitch]

It's beyond just being stupid.  First of all the "I'm on the news" stuff is just ridiculous. You're not Walter Cronkite,  you talk about RG3 on espn a couple times a week.  The basic discussion was me smart, you dumb; me hot, you ugly with snaggle teeth and oh yea you're fat too.  All this after being told you're being recorded and looking right into the camera. As they say, character revealed.

[Blackhat]

Not gonna lie Britt really turned me on there.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Had my car towed when I was a t MU. Not a pleasant experience and tow yard employees have to be the most abused employees of any occupation.
No one is in a good mood to begin with and the fees are outrageous because they can stick it to you.

Its not a big enough deal, so I doubt it comes out, but watching the video, it appears to be edited.  Who knows what was said to start it off.

Apparently this towing company is well known in the DC area for potentially illegal towing practices.  Her car was towed in a parking lot of a restaurant she was eating in.  Other people responded to the story with reports of the company towing their cars out of their assigned parking spots in apartment lots they pay for, that the towing company operates.

I'm not excusing her behavior, but I'm saying there is likely more than meets the eye and this wasn't her berating some helpless secretary at a large company, but likely one of the parties responsible for predatory towing.

I once had my car towed in Chicago because snow covered a sticker, followed the truck to the towing facility, was told I had to wait 2 hours for it to be "processed" but if I paid $250, I could have it immediately.  All cash of course.

[Badgerhater]

I can fully believe that a towing company is a bunch of predatory jagoffs.

I can also believe that the person behind the counter was giving it as good as she was getting it in the parts edited out.

However, McHenry set herself up for failure by acting like a spoiled brat.  Her profession subjects her to risks that us nameless folks don't have to deal with and she needs to carry herself accordingly.

Also, I hope she has the self-awareness of why she has her job at ESPN and that she should not have expected a very long career there, even before this incident.

[WI inferiority Complexes]

I always side with ultra-hot women over douchebag towing companies. Always.

As was noted above. Everyone sides with the hot babe.

Fact is she is a spoiled, self entitled piece of a sh!t.  I hope ESPN fires her ASAP.  Then she will do the only thing she can to revive her career ... Pose for playboy.

Wow lash out much?  If only we all could have treated every single person we ever encountered with the utmost respect and kindness like you, even when wronged.

Glad that now a personal transgression in which no laws were broken and no moral boundaries were crossed, outside of being rude, is grounds for someone being completely written off and their job taken away.  Good god.

Meanwhile, Stephen A Smith said that women should try harder not to be beaten by their spouses and he wasn't suspended at all.  I await your similarly pithy take down of his life.

For me this has nothing to do with "siding with a hot girl" and everything to do with being sick of people grossly overreacting to a one sided story with ridiculous excess.

I have a 20 year old daughter and is she went off on a tow truck company clerk, with that kind self entitled spoiled approach, I was tear into her just the same.

What if it was a good looking man sideline reporter caught doing this over douchebag towing company.............  would the resulting punishment have been different?

I can promise you that I have never spoken to anyone like that.  Not even when I was drunk, or extremely angry, or both.  

It's inexcusable.

We would be demanding blood.

Hot chicks get a pass.  See this thread and how some are doing back flips to rationalize what happened.

Lots of people get a pass....we've learned that here.  Excuses, but but buts, history, progress....something....   Not what is said, but who says the what

She's not getting a pass, people are burying her. And anyone who is not is accused on solely defending her because she's attractive. Backflips aren't being done, I'm not defending her, I'm defending the one sided nature of the story and the public overreaction.

Again, I've never defended her words. Most of what she said was cringeworthy, however, I feel uncomfortable when private words at a private business she's wasn't a willing patron of is used to suggest her job should be stripped.

And warriorchick, I'm not suggesting the same vitriol, but if you've never been rude at a bar, on the street, etc, well, you're a much better person than myself.

Heisenberg, would you suggest your daughter be fired?

Are you slut-shaming McHenry because she got loud in an edited video that the towing company released to generate publicity?

In Jersey, this interaction happens on a slow Sunday night in every township.

[rocket surgeon]

what a difference between jordan spieth and britt.  i know i know, what kind of comparison is this?  just 2 famous young people with different perspectives on life.  one is comfortable in their own skin, the other-not so much.  remember, character-what one does when no one is looking, or so ya think

If she had a job in the public spotlight, and made those kind of statements ... maybe

[warriorchick]

Looks like this wasn't exactly a one-off situation:

I don't think you know what the term "slut-shaming" means.

yeah, but is it a hanging offense?
