In the end, they didn't fire her for any discriminatory reason, so they could do what they want. This will blow over in no time, a new pretty face will take the job, and the Hawks Cup run will continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's shocking they didn't find those videos before (or at least only worry about it now). Edited May 3, 2013 by IlliniKrush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're lame but nothing to be fired over. I'm sure she had them on her resume. Shame in CSN for not seeing them before this if its that big of a deal to them.

Ignoring the fact that they are awful and not funny, they contain lots of racy sexual innuendos and are low on the political correctness scale.

Shame in CSN for not seeing them before this if its that big of a deal to them. The old videos actually got her the gigs on Showtime and NFL Network. Supposedly, this is all the Blackhawks doing. They were also supposedly responsible for the Josh Mora canning several years ago when he broke the story of Tallon being "reassigned." To me, she seemed at best unpolished, and probably deserved to go for performance. But if the old videos or her slip up the other night had anything to do with it, which seems more than likely, that's pretty lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Also, instead of saying "Blackhawks" and making the whole organization look like assholes, everyone can point directly at McDonough for both of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_genius Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 well, i liked her on CSN and i think it's ridiculous that they fired her. people are way to sensitive now-a-days. it's at the point of being absurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted on another board, to the Blackhawks her videos and slipping up and saying sex the other night is bad, but the half naked girls they have skating around with shovels during breaks is fine. Doesn't seem very consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxsoxsoxsox Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Hard not to like Susannah Collins. She has a picture with Mr. T as her profile pic on Twitter. I'm shocked they sacked her. Those youtube vids are painfully bad tho NSFW: Though any publicity is good publicity. I'll be surprised if someone doesn't pick her up somewhere else.

IlliniKrush Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ May 3, 2013 -> 12:46 PM) While I think the firing is unjust, I also don't think the Blackhawks are in the wrong for being the ones to apply the pressure on CSN to make a move. The Blackhawks, like the Bulls, Cubs and White Sox, have a controlling stake in CSN and their reporters are an extension of the organization(right or wrong). If the organization isn't happy with the way one of their reporters is getting out their information, they have every right to make a move. Well the Mora and Collins issues are different. Your last point cover Mora. Collins certainly didn't "leak" information. This Collins firing is no more than McDonough wanting to get rid of her for...I'm not sure. Dick Allen made a great point above if it's about "the brand." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 What are you guys all a bunch of f***ing grandparents? A bunch of f***ing prudes? Susannah Collins did some stupid funny sports-related reports on YouTube and it would be cause for her not to be hired anywhere? Good grief. Sure, she's bad. But she's hired to manage to blurt out some words properly and not say the players are all having tons of sex. LOL. However, to act like those youtube videos are OMG NEVER HIRE HER is just hilarious.

I could see how those videos could hurt her with a certain team or media company. I could easily see someone looking at them and saying "that's too much for me I don't want to hire her." My problem is there's no way in hell they didn't know about it beforehand, they've been watched and they hired her. For McDonough to use it NOW to get rid of her...that's wrong. Unless he wanted her out for some other reason and this gave him an out. Edited May 3, 2013 by IlliniKrush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
