There is plenty of blame to go around for both McHenry and Advanced Towing. People should not be demanding her firing unless and until the complete and unedited tape is released.
As everyone knows by now, ESPN’s Britt McHenry gained a lot more fame than she ever had on the sidelines when she had a recent run-in with a woman clerk at a towing company. McHenry showed up to get her car that had been towed from the parking lot of a northern Virginia Chinese restaurant. She had left the vehicle in the parking lot all night.
A security tape released by the towing company shows a distraught McHenry unloading on the clerk, a single mother of three. The ESPN personality begins by bragging she is on television, and tells the clerk she has a degree while the clerk has no education. McHenry tells the clerk she has a brain while the clerk does not. McHenry later goes on to make fun of the clerk’s missing teeth and again says she is on television while the clerk is in “a f*****g trailer.” The video ends with McHenry telling the woman “lose some weight, baby girl.”
The tape has since gone viral and McHenry has been suspended for one week. Many people are calling for her to be fired from the sports network. A petition on change.org calling on ESPN to fire her has, at the time of this writing, received over 15,000 signatures.

What do you suppose the clerk could have said that justified what McHenry said to her and about her?
< typo snark > Was he in a fire?!? < /typo snark >
I don’t know I’m changing my mind every ten minutes. :)

Hey - I *DID* identify it was snark! Isn’t that one of the commandments?
Thou shalt not snark lest thou admit it?
Or something like that?!? LOL
Have a great day, FRiend.
You ALL have made me so paranoid that I’m checking my posts fifteen or twenty times. I have OCD NOW!! :) have a good one!
Lesson 1: Don’t park in a tow way zone.
That’s CDO. It’s like OCD but the letters are in the right order!
(All my OCD friends love that joke!)
The restaurant said don’t leave your car here overnight. She did. She got towed. No sympathy here.
It has its moments. When the family all got together one year in the 90s I rode with him down to St Petersburg in his repo truck.We did a couple of side trips to check on vehicles he was contracted to go get, one of them on the way back. That target car was hemmed in fore and aft and I asked how he was going to get it out. He said he has equipment that will pull it quickly and gently sideways and he can hook it up and be gone in a minute and a half which would be some longer than it usually takes him. He wouldn’t even get out of the truck. Next time I talked to him he said that yes. he’d got it.
