Paul Pierce fired by ESPN after video

[Ezekiel 25:17]

It’s hard to be a black man on ESPN

Dudes never seem to learn unless a chick is family or a close friend, always keep it professional

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Damn man...... niccas be fukking up...... smh

 

[Jermio]

Yeah but you can't work for a major TV network and record yourself smoking, drinking, and partying with half naked broads

They gonna fire your ass

fukk that. Nobody was harmed in that video. Backlash needs to happen.

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Was it because he violated Covid rules?

 

[GzUp]

Weren’t we saying he was gonna get fired?

 

[Mirin4rmfar]

This ain't right...this was something he was doing in his spare time, off the clock, and it doesn't seem like he was causing harm to ESPNs brand in any way.

This does not apply anymore . I go viral doing some dumb politically incorrect shyt, Id get fired from my job the next day. These days you represent the company off clock so you better check your behaviors.

i honestly am not surprised, but it should be no different if he posted a video drunk. weed ain't illegal in cali.


i just hate rachel nichols so i'ma blame her for this.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

He posted an IG live of him with some strippers idk


Nothing crazy happened in the vid, just some twerking

He was def on a short lease and they were looking to let him go for any little thing

I agree with this

I remember this, SHE made it wayyyyyy more than it was, apparently it's something he says with lots of people, male or female.

If you a brother in the corporate world and got employers don't get comfortable. Ever... We don't get judged by the same rules.

Brothers get canned on their day off. Keep your private life private.

lol at nikkas surprised

companies expect you to maintain a level of professionalism outside of the business place. especially if its a media related position. he knew that when he signed up and ESPN damn sure ain't entertaining this shyt again after they just cleaned house not too long ago. if you gonna be wild like that, then keep it to yourself like everyone else.

especially if you black

don't think pierce gives a fukk either way for what its worth

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Can’t post that and think it’ll be ok. Got to be like them white boys that tell these stories 20 years after their careers end lol. I wasn’t mad at the situation at all but I knew he would get some kind of punishment

 

[Numpsay]

Brehs gotta get out of the habit of posting everything on social media.
