Looking for a PH pulse on the topic.. expanding with comments would be appreciated.

Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland apologized to Dallas Cowboys first-round draft pick Dez Bryant on Tuesday for asking during a pre-draft visit whether his mother was a prostitute.

It's bullcrap and unfair to Dez to get asked something like that. What his mom did in her past doesn't change who he is right now anyways. If you want to find out about him ask him about himself.

There are other (better) ways to go about finding information like that if it's so important. This wasn't just him trying to be "in-depth" he was purposefully trying to get him riled up and went out of line.

Totally crossed the line. The kid's restraint was amazing, he should have ripped that dude in half.

Something was said that KIND of made sense though. How is this kid gonna react if a player across from him uses this info......"How's your Mom? She was happy when i was on her last night" or something like that.
You have to know how he's going to handle it.
If he can deal with that possibility and not let him control him, he will show his maturity.

When you are considering employing someone and knowing you will have to pay that person 10's of millions of dollars a year in guarenteed money, you have to ask the tough questions.
After all everyone knows that the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree.
Does anyone really know exactly how the question was posed?

I don't totally disagree. But not this way. You don't talk about someone's mom - out of bounds, and we learn that from the playground on. Test the kid to see where his head's at? Sure. Call his mom a prostitute? Absolutely not.

Millions of dollars, men playing a boy's game, yadda yadda yadda. There are things you don't do, period. This is one of those things.

My thoughts are two:

1. Ireland sounds like one of those management pricks who see no problem in trying to play head games with those under him. I wouldn't want to work for an organization that had someone like him above me in the food chain.

2. Life means you have to learn to deal with assholes. I'd rather risk a few assholes than have to worry about all the busybodies who make it a national crisis every time some asshole does something asshole-ish. There's a difference between a newsworthy utterance and being a bunch of busybodies. IMO this is yet another case of "journalists" covering their inabilities as journalists with a bout of busybodiness.

Kid: "Mommy, daddy, he hurt my feelings by asking a nasty question."
Parent: "He's a fucking asshole. What do you care what he thinks? Next time just tell him your dad told you to tell him he's a fucking asshole."
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Yeah, could even ask what my Grandma use to do in her spare time. This country is way too sensitive.

Agreed.

Of course they might not appreciate my answer. 🙂
