    “directing a racial slur at an African-American employee.”

    Kaepernick’s attorneys just got wood.

    He had a special interest in female grooming, they say. He would notice when their nails were not up to his standards, and pay for them to get manicures. Multiple female employees recalled to SI that Richardson asked them if he could personally shave their legs.

    LOL. ... Wait, that's not funny. Let me rephrase: What a fucking creep.

    Geez. And Rex Ryan's toe fetish seemed to be one of the weirdest things.

    New clubhouse leader...

    I'm sure he just wanted to shave their "legs."

    What a creep.

    Just refer to him as "Massa" instead of "Mister" as long as he runs the Panthers.

    Oh, well that make me feel more confident that they'll get to the bottom of this.

    On Friday evening, the Panthers announced that they had commenced an internal investigation into allegations of workplace misconduct against Richardson, to be led by the outside law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart and Sullivan LLP and overseen by former White House Chief of Staff and Panthers minority owner Erskine Bowles. On Sunday morning the NFL announced it was taking over the investigation.

    A local minister had the scoop?

    Stephen Henderson, managing director of opinion and commentary, was terminated from the Free Press on Friday, Free Press Editor and Vice President Peter Bhatia announced.

    At a Dec. 6 news conference, Detroit minister W.J. Rideout III mentioned Henderson and two other members of the local media as individuals who had engaged in acts of sexual harassment. Rideout did not cite any evidence or specifics about Henderson and this week the minister’s radio show was suspended over that lack of evidence. The Free Press immediately launched an investigation and subsequently uncovered examples of inappropriate behavior by Henderson with female colleagues dating back several years.

    Gannett, owner of the Free Press, released this statement: “Effective today, Stephen Henderson will no longer be employed by the Detroit Free Press. The decision was made after an internal investigation was conducted which uncovered credible allegations that Mr. Henderson’s behavior has been inconsistent with company values and standards.”

    Gannett values do not allow for anyone to treat colleagues with scornful disrepespect that makes them feel subhuman.
    That treatment is reserved for readers.
