She has a phD. I doubt she has much issue finding a job.

Uh, people with PhD's have an incredibly hard time finding jobs these days. Academia is basically frozen at this point, and there are some limited fields where anyone gives a shit what kind of degree you have.

Always knew this guy was a piece of shit. Though, it’s fairly surprising that he’s a racist F*ck

Wooo. Is white dudes the correct wording? How do you know if they are white? And dudes really? Can you be so insensitive in this time we live in. What a incorrect usage of these words. First I didn't know you spouted such racism, how do you know they identify as white? Secondly dudes, you are misgendering these people with out actually knowing who they are and how they identify I would have thought someone with your level of "wokeness" would know the differences. Just blatant racism, transphobia, and misgenderisms. I can't believe you would even use such hateful speech. How dare you, you should be ashamed. 

Spot on ... in this kindergarten-country of ours :)...

This is really disturbing, has it been substantiated aside from her comments?

[aznhockeyguy]

This is the difficult part for the doctor, unless she taped or has recordings, not sure how you can prove this sort of thing.

As someone who litigates claims like this for a living, I can say it is far more likely than not that there is no merit whatsoever to these allegations.

Well, JeDi isnt even close to being even an average GM. But, that doesnt make him and or Servais racists. So, hes racist against Hispanics and Dominicans but not against the Pacific Rim ownership?..

Stupid in roster creation! Absolutely!

Racist I dont know enough about his mental make up on that side.

Excerpt:

More than anything, though, these allegations and subsequent exchanges highlight two things: that the very core of the Mariners organization is utterly, irrevocably flawed, and that baseball as a whole continues to be deeply problematic for women, non-men, and people of color.

I don’t hope her allegations are true, nor do I hope they are false. I don’t hope for anything because at this point there’s little hope to be had. For centuries baseball’s stories have been written by men, for men, and though we like to think we’ve made grand progress, reports of these incidents highlight how much work there is left to do.

The Mariners front office and ownership have done nothing to encourage us to trust them, nor has it done anything to make us believe that they will respond with any real strength or conviction to these allegations.

I live for claiming litigations like this.

Litigations are claiming our lives.

Lou and Chuck are probably go getters. I spent 40 bucks on postmates last month asking them to run to 7-11 and pick me up a cup noodles.

I seriously have to get my life together before its too late

you're saying Lou delivered your postmates 7-11 cup noodles?

Also, the Athletic had a story a few months back with the dude from Driveline. 

https://theathletic.com/381488/2018/06/07/driveline-how-a-change-averse-industry-has-accepted-and-rejected-the-training-methods-of-kyle-boddy/  

Thats the article I mentioned previously and below is the snippet that speaks to the AL West team -- obviously, no way of telling if it's the Ms but given none of the other AL West teams made a similar hire -- one hell of a coincidence.

This offseason, Boddy says he had a multimillion-dollar pitching development deal in place with an AL West team that fell through just before it became official, during spring training.

“Basically, the GM didn’t get his contract renewed and ownership is losing faith,” Boddy says. “He hired someone that was gonna oversee this program, they became combative, and a lot of it was ‘we’re not gonna commit millions of dollars to this.’ Looking back, the team is a complete shit show now. So, good. We dodged a bullet… On the other hand, I was banking on $3 million being deposited in my bank account, and now we’re talking about layoffs at Driveline.”
