ESPN had the story years ago but declined to run at request of the woman, who was worried it would hurt her career. She is no longer a journalist and I guess decided to allow ESPN to run it now, if they keep her name out of it. All this per ESPN.
Guy clearly made a mistake, but if you read that article, she 100% led him on in the beginning.
Quote:
The woman met Porter in an elevator at Yankee Stadium on June 26, 2016. She said they talked briefly - the only time they ever spoke, she told ESPN - about international baseball prospects and exchanged business cards.
Porter began texting her the afternoon they met and, before the day was over, had asked her three times to get a drink. The woman said she agreed to meet Porter because she thought he was volunteering himself as a source and expected they would discuss baseball. Porter asked in a text if she had a boyfriend; the woman said that at the time, she believed he was simply being friendly, as she did not think someone she barely knew would be so forward.YEAH RIGHT, I'M SURE. That night, after she said she couldn't meet with him but would the next day, Porter sent an unsolicited selfie.
"Like?" he asked.
She did not respond.
"If I had a better understanding - not just of the language, but the culture - I definitely would've realized sooner what was going on," the woman told ESPN. OMFG
Porter texted again the next day, according to the messages, and attempts by both to set up a meeting fell through. On July 19, 2016, he reached out to her again, inquiring as to her whereabouts and asking: "Why aren't we hanging out??" Porter asked whether the woman remembered what he looked like and said: "You're so pretty. Do you have a boyfriend yet?" He sent a selfie and said: "It can be me!"
The woman responded with text shorthand indicating laughter and added: "let's meet." Porter asked her for a picture. In her home country, the woman told ESPN, "it's very common for friends of the opposite sex to send each other photos. I didn't think much of it."GTFO
After she sent a selfie, Porter responded: "You're gorgeous. Want more of me?"
She said yes, explaining to ESPN: "I thought it would be awkward to say no. I didn't think of where it would progress."
You know what he's guilty of? Chasing too hard and not having any game or sense whatsoever. She didn't tell him no, to stop, and instead led him on, and when she did, he said he was sorry and stopped. FFS. And then she has the fucking balls 4 years later to try to fuck up his life while she gets to enjoy anonymity. I hope he outs her, she's a cold bitch.
And yeah, I fully expect you white knights to defend her, and that's bullshit. Some of these girls want the attention, but as soon as they decide they don't want the attention anymore, instead of putting on their big girl panties and just telling a dude she's not interested, will fuck him over without giving him a second thought.
I know, he sent her an unsolicited dick pick. He should've known better. But her innocent "oh I didn't really realize he was hitting on me because I'm a foreigner" routine shouldn't fool anyone although I'm sure it will some.
Porter shouldn't lose his job because he's bad at wooing a woman and texted a penis 4 and a half years ago. That's idiotic. What he should do is apologize, and everyone move on. He held up his end, and then ESPN, because they have zero integrity, ran this story to make her this victim, when she was an active participant in what happened. FUCK THAT BITCH AND EVERY BITCH LIKE HER.
of whether or not he’s just having fun or trying to get with the chick....he just seems like a total loser/prick. I’m sorry but, cmon man. Just a terrible look.
After she sent a selfie, Porter responded: "You're gorgeous. Want more of me?"
She said yes, explaining to ESPN: "I thought it would be awkward to say no. I didn't think of where it would progress."
Porter sent three pictures, including the first of several that would show a man lying on a bed with a bulge in his pants. The woman said she initially was confused.
"Like?" Porter wrote.
She laughed again and texted yes, though she told ESPN that she didn't realize the intention of the photo taken on the bed. "You are not married?" she asked.
This is insulting. He came right out and asked her if she had a boyfriend right from the beginning...and she plays along all this time, then she asks him about his status. Why would you do that, why would you say you liked his pictures, give me a break.
do the men not act like animals in her country? did she not know she was in the united states of #metoo? she'd probably still have a job if she came out back then.
espn is scum. last night Bomani Jones was crying that no black HC candidates got jobs so far(basically bienemy) but when someone told him Leslie Frazier was a leading candidate for the Houston job he said he hopes he doesn't take it because its a bad opportunity. WTF? its bad for Frazier but ok for Bienemy?! pick a fucking side! lol
of whether or not he’s just having fun or trying to get with the chick....he just seems like a total loser/prick. I’m sorry but, cmon man. Just a terrible look.
Look, WHO GIVES A FUCK if he comes off as a loser to some woman he's hitting on. I don't know many men who've never hit on a woman and looked like a complete asshole and made an embarrassment of himself. He's not employed by the Mets to be Rico Suave. He's employed by the Mets to analyze players and make good personnel decisions.
Was it a bad look, yes. Could she have nipped it in the bud from the get go? Also yes. And yet she gets to run his name through the mud for something 4 years ago...where were you and what were you doing 4 years ago? And she gets to do this completely anonymously. And yet, he owned up to his mistake, told her he was sorry, and she still thought about suing him. That's sick. Honestly she's way worse of a human being than a single guy trying to score with a woman he thinks is hot.
His self-awareness is awful, because you can't send that many texts with no response, but keep in mind he was single and she HAD given him signs she was interested. Ridiculous. Why should he get fired for this? It wasn't even during his employment with the Mets.
You are not understanding what’s going on here. Your analysis of the article is biased from a fan or a sexist side. Guy sent 60+ unanswered texts to a woman and after about the 50th a answered text, he sent a dick pic. You think that’s normal behavior? I wouldn’t be surprised if someone else may come out with a similar story against him.

It has nothing to do with a fan or a sexist side. I already know that the sheer volume of texts is cringeworthy, but you're going to fire a guy because he was overzealous in chasing a woman and has no game? When all she had to do was text back and say "STOP, NOT INTERESTED," and once she did finally tell him to stop, he apologized and did what she asked?
And there isn't a woman alive under 50 years old, under 250 lbs, and probably most over 250 lbs, who has a smartphone in the last 20 years, tat has never gotten a dick pick. Let's stop with the pearl clutching. Like she can't handle seeing a picture of a penis? Yeah, I know it's not right, and I've only done it once and it was only by request, but come on.
She asked espn not to run the story then because she was afraid of retaliation. Not crazy of her. She got out of the business and espn asked to run the story and she said yes and wanted to keep anonymous because in her country women do not have the same equalities. And coming from someone who has actually married a woman whose 1st language isn’t English and who grew up in a different culture, certain things can be misunderstood. We don’t know this woman’s grasp of the English language. She could have been reporting exclusively for a network that only needed her to know that language. All in all it’s not a good look.
your issue is that you assume that if she said “stop, not interested” that Porter would have stopped.
Really? Because he did stop when she finally did say something. Dudes like you are allowing women in this country to treat men like they are subjects. She had an active role in encouraging him. She acted like any interested woman would. He made his intentions plainly obvious from the beginning, and she went along with it. And she probably did so because she probably thought it would be good for her career. So she was probably trying to use him. Then when she changed her mind, she ghosted him instead of just being an adult and telling him so.
Of the dick pic and because he made her feel so uncomfortable in the work place that she has to actively avoid him and refuse work. Or hid when she sees him. That’s not okay in a work environment.

Yeah ok, she really didn't understand, "You're beautiful, do you have a boyfriend." She knew. I knew one of you saps would fall for this bullshit. Stop putting a bitch on a pedestal. She's not worthy of being up there. There are women who are worthy, she's not a victim. Her name needs to come out.

Yes she wants to advance her career by anonymously having someone run this story while she is out of journalism.

BECAUSE SHE LED HIM ON! How are you completely absolving her from any responsibility in this? Why wouldn't he continue chasing her if when he asks if she wants more of him, she says "YES" and had agreed to go have drinks with him after he asked if she had a boyfriend and was telling her she's beautiful? And spare me, she's not a co-worker. He's a single guy trying to shoot his shot, and it went disastrously, in some part because of her leading him on. Why is this even news? It's gross, and a railroad job.
Seriously, what's the crime here? Guy over-zealously hits on girl, sends a dick pic. What? This is nonsense.
it doesn’t seem like you read the full article. Because he didn’t stop when she actually said ok dude that’s enough. He actually sent her MORE texts after that. He didn’t stop. He sent multiple messages. He sent her a pic from Dodger stadium after that. Jesus dude. Why the fuck do you think he did that? Because he was hoping that she’d respond, but she didn’t. We get it man. Obviously a lot of the time women are definitely using this shit to their advantage but guess what, a lot of times they aren’t, and it’s 2020 dude. Sorry but you can’t be a GM of a baseball team and behave this way. Nobody is saying he shouldn’t be forgiven or be able to work in sports. It’s all good there.
But you’re getting really defensive about this and it’s weird.

Who said she wants to advance her career? Follow along, numbnuts. When I said she thought it would be good for her career, it was DURING THE ACTUAL events of the story 4 years ago. Reading comprehension, try it.

I think you’re the one that needs to start doing some following.
Definitely shady it comes out 4 years later and DMM 100 percent fired or resigned.
Pretty sure sending dick pics is understood in every culture.
dick pics are universally understood
Quote:
...maybe it was a cultural misunderstanding?
Pretty sure sending dick pics is understood in every culture.
Maybe they have different intent in other cultures. Like how the Maasi spit at each other to say hello.
Thats too bad, he seemed like a good GM too.
meanwhile ESPN could've reported this 4 years ago and still kept her anonymous.
they waited for him to get a job first? the media is horrible.
he's a piece of shit too but I'm sure he's not the first person to do this.
how many more screenshots are they sitting on?

I do, I want him as our GM. I don't think some horribly executed, failed strategy and bedding a woman 4 years ago should change a damn thing.
Dude. On what planet are those two things the same?

They are both partially to blame, but only one of them is railroading the other 4 years later.
Jared Porter is the guy you’re gonna cry about losing? Get a grip man.
Dude, it's 2021. Buy a fucking clue.
