Thomas5737 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 While it is funny this happened to Grossi the dictionary defines midget as an unusually or extremely small person. Obviously groups have spoke on behalf of little people that they don't like the word, I think mostly because of sideshow stuff from the past, but I don't think using that word is in the same stratosphere as some other words. That word is used here all of the time to describe short quarterbacks and I'm pretty sure it isn't filtered out. It is used in other aspects to describe small things like midget race cars So while he should have known better this isn't a career killer type thing at least in my opinion. Also, they apologized to Baker but I don't know if they were saying that it was an insult to him to be categorized as something he isn't (probably shouldn't apologize for that) or that they believe Baker prefers the term little person to midget when speaking of him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Grossi.

Your full-height privilege is showing. Quote That'd is used here all of the time to describe short quarterbacks and I'm pretty sure it isn't filtered out.

Quote So while he should have known better this isn't a career killer type thing at least in my opinion. 😠😡😤 Quote Also, they apologized to Baker but I don't know if they were saying that it was an insult to him to be categorized as something he isn't (probably shouldn't apologize for that) or that they believe Baker prefers the term little person to midget when speaking of him. Exactly. It's unsalvageable. The best thing for everyone involved is to part ways. Fire Grossi.

I agree that this one thing isn’t a career killer, at what point does ESPN move on from this clown?   He’s had a contentious relationship with the team forever it seems and is a walking rain cloud with his opinions.  Honestly, who reads the guy anymore? Put him out to pasture imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him out to pasture imo. This single event shouldn’t be a career killer but you add up his unpopularity with the fan base, his constant negative attitude with The Browns and Baker that lead to An incident with Baker during a presser, and now this, how can they consider keeping him? How can you have a beat reporter, who after those comments about Baker, might not ever get anything from baker in an interview and possibly other players who stand by Baker? He is now prolly Bakers most hated media person, he prolly was on a tier with others but he clearly separated himself now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves to get fired for this remark alone, let alone his entire troll body of work. 3. I would criticize Baker because he SUCKED in 2019, not because of his height. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they fire Grossi Hes been around too long. He’s paid his dues with this stupid team everyone dealing with the browns in my opinion gets one mess up. We literally have to be insane as people to still continue to be fans at this point. So imagine him who HAS to write about of ALL Teams THE BROWNS. He gets one mulligan due to time of service in my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a terrible attitude, intentionally provokes players behind the scenes, and is a complete hack. 2 minutes ago, brownie man said: everyone dealing with the browns in my opinion gets one mess up.

He's awful. I don't hope he escapes this at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly doesn't seem to like the Browns and the feeling is mutual so I don't understand why they have been connected for so long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
