Jazz Bear FIRED

Deseret News is reporting its due to a 'rift with the staff' which could mean any number of things. Not sure that's the phrasing that would be used if it were a sexual harassment type thing though.

Good point. That makes it sound more like he told off his boss.

Hopefully that is it... better for everyone involved if so.

Not sure what the mascot job market is like but he shouldn't be unemployed long.

DN says a source said "rift with staff" so who knows....

The guy who played Big Bird on Sesame Street just announced he's leaving - maybe a solidarity move?

*CONFIRMED*

I'm also told that long time SS OG Telly joins the entire VD Gang. They'll be hanging out at the Jazz Bear's house until this whole kerfuffle blows over.
 
How did I miss all this Mavs stuff? I need to get out more.

I was thinking the same thing -- he inappropriately touched some young lady's fanny but probably didn't even realize it, like Garrison Keillor when he rubbed some woman's back to comfort her when she was in distress. Who knows, but the feminists are getting their revenge on men for keeping them at home tending to the kids and other domestic duties for so long.

Congratulations, you are either a pig for knowingly spreading false information, or just an idiot for talking like you know the facts when a simple google search would have corrected you. Seriously, man up!

I read Keillor's account that he wrote himself. Either he is a liar or that woman is ... I prefer to believe him because his reputation was impeccable and no other cast member has said this about him after 40 years doing the show. In fact, he is a rather introverted person and not given to open shows of physical contact, like even hugging, for instance. Read his account. The MeToo thing is like McCarthyism making lots of accusations, many of them unproven or uncorroborated. This is not to say that real pervs like Weinstein or Cosby aren't guilty. But when people like the Hawaii Senator on the Judiciary Committee equates the way a man looks at a woman to sexual harassment, then I know this movement has really gone off the deep end.

Thanks for the name calling, that too is associated with fascism.

Why should I shut up when I only speak the truth? We don't know what happened. I was just mocking the MeToo movement because I believe it has become far too extreme and often makes accusations without proof. Accepting such things that are unprovable violates the basic system of justice upon which the rule of law is based, and we descend into fascism.

You're wrong tho.

'Separately from the statement by the organization’s management, journalists at MPR News published a lengthy article on Tuesday, based on interviews with more than 60 people who worked with Keillor in some capacity, that outlined what it was allegedly like for women to work for him. The article describes “a years long pattern of behavior that left several women who worked for Keillor feeling mistreated, sexualized or belittled.'

That's from the article that was shared with you.
