First -- I work in politics and news. So I'm not going to go all conspiracy theorist, on you... I'm just going to give you the straight dope, in general.

Which is this: People lose their jobs for their political beliefs all the time. It is not okay, and it is not even legal... but it happens ALL THE TIME. People speak up on a controversial topic (israel/palestine, for example) and somebody takes it the wrong way, and you are out on your ass... either via an HR/Ombudsman complaint or something more subversive like forcing you to quit by making your work life inhospitable. That is just a reality, and not all jobs are protected by unions, and not all jobs have somebody that you can go to and help you out, especially if a lot of it comes down to hearsay.

So that's a baseline, you should keep that in mind when you are at work... you are always in mixed company.

As an EXTENSION of that... signing onto petitions is voluntarily putting your name and information on a cause. Now, in a lot of ways that is noble, and if you are fighting for equal pay, or more time for paternity or a pair of ray bans and a pack of kools for each employee at your office... you do not know how your employer will feel about said movement. Specifically things like: Legalizing Marijuana, which is one I see people signing on for all the time.

That is you, putting your name and personal information on a list, and saying "this is something I believe in" and while that is noble in many cases, it is also exposing your personal life to the public.

There are NO anonymous petitions. That goes for people on the street asking for a moment of your time, all the way through online signups. Your email, your name, number, etc... that is all THEIRS now.

Like I said, I work in news and politics, so as a baseline, I'm not signing or signing-up for shyt. The last thing I need is for somebody to pull my name out of a petition to get Khaleesi to do more sex scenes, or whatever... and post it online.

But my point of not signing these things IN GENERAL goes TRIPLE for something that is designed or could possibly qualify as a form of harassment. If you don't like (or hate) Beadle because of her twitter account of what she says on ESPN, or how she acts... that is a personal thing that you feel. To extend that out into the public forum and sign a petition that is OBVIOUSLY stupid spurious... puts you at risk. Just like tweeting something stupid or abusive, or posting something racist on your facebook... all it takes is one person pulling your information out, and blasting it to your office/boss/manager/school... to land you in hot water.

For example, even if you just thought to yourself:

Hmmm... that was an awfully broad stroke she painted FSU students and Alum with! My father went to FSU, and he's a philanthropist-baby-surgeon-pastor. That isn't right!

You will be counted lumped in with people saying things like:

On top of that... Beadle LITERALLY works for a media overlord. Which means their reach and assets are near-limitless, and if they wanted to get punitive, they absolutely could.


I'm not saying 'don't get political' or 'don't get involved' - I am just saying, make sure what you're getting involved IN, or SIGNING is something that you value more than your job.

And that's BEFORE WE EVEN ADDRESS that you're going onto a government site and submitting your personal information voluntarily. Jeeesus. De. Christo.


Anyway... that's a small PSA from your local whiteboi:downwhiteguy:

I don't get the outrage. None of us really watch espn anymore and we damn sure don't follow her on twitter. What's the phrase again? "Don't feed the troll"

Stone Cold was 11 years ago

Was Twitter or even Michelle beadle around then?

Twitter didn't start til 2006

That's such a dumb argument

What does Twitter's creation date have to do with her choosing to look the other way on numerous other DV incidents? :cape:
