    Default Mets fire GM

    Just over a month after being hired. What is with these pigs?

    Also...this has to be one of the shortest GM reigns in history.

    Breaking: The Mets have fired GM Jared Porter, according to owner Steve Cohen.

    The news comes less than 24 hours after ESPN's
    @minakimes
    and
    @JeffPassan
    reported that Porter sent graphic, uninvited text messages and images to a female reporter in 2016 when he was with the Cubs.

    Men are legitimately disgusting. How does this still happen and how do people think they're getting away with this?

    He sent 62 texts without a response from the reporter including a "bulge" picture, then he sent a full on richard pic. Like...wtf. She left being a reporter I think because of his actions.

    After even being told to stop and how outline he was by the reporter he continued to text her apologizing over multiple hours.

    This guy also got 2 jobs after this incident btw. ESPN knew about it in 2017 after the reporter came forward to ESPN but decided not to let ESPN come out with the story since it would have been damaging to her career. But she has since left the job and said for ESPN to let the story out.

    If ESPN knew, I bet you teams had feels about this.

    Well, at least he lost his job over this. There was a time not long ago, and it likely still happens in some organizations, when nothing would have been done about this. I'd say "good for the Mets", but really this should be what is expected, at the very least. If I sent pics of my junk to one of my company's customers or affiliates, I sure as hell would be fired. Heck, there's a good chance I'd face criminal charges for sexual harassment.

    Cohen needs to invest in his vetting department more than his on field situation.

    This will go on the big list of thing under "of course the Mets did this". Mets and Jets just can't do things right if they tried.

    Awesome that he got canned.
    With 20+ years of interacting with the work-world, I've noticed and told my wife that I'm amazed how many sellout/disgusting/old-boys-club men that end up in corporate management.
    The best men/fathers/husbands I know have good jobs - but they aren't management of high-end companies.
    I have some past acquantances (part of "friend groups"... but not friends) that went on to upper management of big companies... making $150k+. All.major.d-bags.

    Great to see this stuff being cleaned up.
    (But it has to be cleaned up all the way to the top before it can finally trickle down. Is it Jan20th yet?)

    Sorry 2014OG, this MAN is legitimately disgusting. Every guy doesn't deserve to be lumped in with this dude. You think after 60 or 61 texts, he might have been able to figure it out. Outright sexual harrassment from a person with power to affect her career. A real d-bag who ought to have known better, but likely didn't think he'd be held accountable. Glad he was fired.

    I feel like if you talked to any female under the age of 35, they'd agree that men as a broad paint stroke are disgusting. But I didn't think I'd have to distinguish that I do understand that this man is disgusting, but not every man in the world is like this one.

    Not really an argument I thought I'd have to clarify

    Is it wrong to generalize roughly half the population as disgusting? Yes, yes it is. Every PERSON should be judged on their actions. Period. Maybe I'm just getting cranky in my old age and it's past my bedtime. Have a good night, man. (insert smiley face emoji here)
