Scandals just aren’t what they used to be…

I’ve done it. You’ve probably done it too. I even did it at work once. But Eric Govan was just sacked for forwarding the e-mail called “Ghetto Prom.” The Golden State Warriors PR manager accidentally sent the email to his entire mailing list (mainly sports writers and news types) instead of sending it just to his wife. He sent out an apology immediately, but it was too late. Dude was fired and the team issued statements about how sorry it is and that the comments implied or written in the email don’t reflect those of the GS Warriors. Um, really? You mean the Golden State Warriors didn’t go out and take pictures of ignorant-ass high school students and create an email and send it out to millions of people? Hmm.. are you suuure? Because why the hell would you even say that if the team wasn’t responsible for the damn e-mail!? Check out the way the local news handled this “PR scandal” (There must be NO crime in the Bay area…)

This team has completely overreacted and I feel sorry for Govan. E-mail can be a real bitch sometimes… At least he didn’t say something snarky about his supervisor and send it out to that person and their boss, like someone else I know did one time.
