Dianna Russini Resigns

[Cjlemke21]

Fair points, and I appreciate the discussion and that we are keeping it civil.

I would challenge the thought that we don’t care who writes an article. Think about during NIL and portal times when rumors are swirling about who is going to what team. There are credible sources and there are terrible sources. Cred matters.

And while I agree that she may come across as having more credibility because she has an “in” I don’t think that’s the type of credibility she or her employer wants to have. It is usually tagged as “ well good morningsleeping your way to the top.”

Most journalists live for breaking the big story or getting the inside scoop. I just think that she knows she is tainted goods, and if she ever gets the big scoop, people will accuse her of sleeping her way to the story, instead of giving her credit for being a good journalist.

I absolutely think she feels like she’s damaged goods, and I think she resigned for that reason for one and for two she’s trying to save face with her husband I think… cut ties to the reason why the affair “rumors” are even there.

I have no clue weather she did it or not, but in that line of work it’s more probable than not.

I can say that yes there’s always sources that are more reliable than others when it comes to certain things like trade rumors, free agent signings or Rother things along that line, and if you’re working as a sports reporter and your job is to get that info then I’d say you’ve already reached the pinnacle for your field, every trade you break before it happens or even ever trade rumor you break is the “big one”.

i understand who writes the article can matter for certain things like that, and i understand tha i may see things a little different but I tend to still think how you got that info doesn’t matter that much, just matters if it’s correct. I wouldn’t judge male reporters for befriending or using whatever means they had to to get that reliable source, so I won’t judge a woman for using whatever means ever she needs to to get it… I don’t like that if she did do it that she was married, but I don’t I inherently question how the reporter got the information either.

I agree with whoever said that what they did was none of our business, if this is two consenting adults then it shouldn’t matter to us. Again no they shouldn’t be cheating on their spouses, but the reality of it is that’s the world we live in unfortunately, every day people cheat on their spouses for little to no reason and it’s not always aired out there like that. It doesn’t make it right, but who I am to judge them for their choices? I can not agree with it and I don’t, but it doesn’t make it any less credible because what they did goes against my morals.

Agreed...

But they don't cheat for little to no reason, they cheat because like most married people they are bored as **** and not happy. Something/someone new comes along and that is exciting.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

If you cheat on your spouse, you're pretty much scum of the Earth in my book. Sorry I know that will hurt some of you moral softies who don't care about character

... can you honeatly sit here and tell me you GAF if somebody who wrote a good article about your favorite sport cheated on their spouse? You're not going to read it because you think your sins are morally superior to hers? Really?

..nobody condones it, we just hate to see somebody who writes football articles lose their good job for it, while the other person involved gets away with it. Its freaking football journalism, not pentagon secrets. The embarrassment and probable divorce should be enough, but nooo.. We have to have our pound of flesh now a days.

 

[HuskerO58]

Right, everybody has a reason as to why they do what they do. I dont think I've ever done anything that didnt have a "reason" behind it.

If their reason to cheat is what you suggested, then that's a pretty crappy reason.

I think he was just making a general statement. "If you cheat on your spouse, you're pretty much scum...."

Agreed with what you’re saying here on the reasoning for most, but to me that’s still little to no reason… there’s a reason why I’m a single father to three kids, and it’s stuff like that.

But back to the whole Russini thing I think my biggest problem with all of this is the double standards. What two adults do behind closed doors is between them, but if things get out and there’s consequences for the actions, then it shouldn’t be just one person falling, it should be both… wrong is wrong and both people cheating were wrong and if we as a society are going to hold the woman accountable then we need to also hold the man accountable, and vice versa.

 

[Huskers12345]

Cheating isn't for me ( I'm actually married and happier than SuperBigFan69), but are people going to pretend to care about someone else's life? You find out your really good mechanic cheated and you are switching shops to a less reliable, more expensive shop? You find out the chef at your favorite restaurant cheated, you are now boycotting that restaurant? No one really cares, and if they truly do, they have a boring life.

 

[RBigredMax1]

No one cares who writes it...no one.

And getting "inside info" makes someone more credible. Not less.

While I agree - ultimately this puts the employer in a bad spot because they are competing with others for content. It’s a black eye once they realize they have reporters who are out there trading sex for stories.

She will bounce back because the readers and eyeballs don’t care. It’s the corporate rep that is the concern.

The stuff she has said about her husband on air is embarrassing. If that dude wasn’t going to bail before he certainly will now if the money train slows down. Because I would assume it was the money that let him publicly humiliated.

 

[suffocation_]

I voted 3 times for a guy who likely cheated on his wife, so I won't pretend to have some moral standard that is much higher for some bimbo reporter.

I will say that a woman leveraging her innate advantages for a leg up in her career is a legit issue and hilarious to see it get punished.

Not sure where you got any of that on what I said. No I don't care about her articles I've never read. I don't care if either of them keep or lose their job. She didn't have to resign BTW.

I said people who cheat are scum. People who are ok with cheating or make excuses for it, are also scum. Bring back public stoning as far as I'm concerned.

It's he there fella.

Maybe you're reading more into it for a reason

 

[SuperBigFan69]

Right, everybody has a reason as to why they do what they do. I dont think I've ever done anything that didnt have a "reason" behind it.

If their reason to cheat is what you suggested, then that's a pretty crappy reason.

I mean...none of the reasons would be good reasons.

Just get a divorce first (or don't get married) and then start your new relationship.

It is funny because just this morning, I was thinking how much happier I was than poster Huskers12345. Hahaha

I am 100% with you. If they brought back stoning as the punishment for cheating (for both men and women) the marriage rate would drop to almost 0.

I would rather go to a mechanic that DID cheat on his wife and told everyone how lame marriage was...at least I would know I could trust him! Ha

Unhappily married guy might spend extra time at the shop getting stuff done to avoid going home though. Happy single guy might rush it because he has a hot date.

Public stoning? Whoa, didn't know we had any Taliban members on this site.

Funny I was just thinking the same about you. Seem a little "thou doth protest..." if you ask me.

Except menopause...amirite?

Could be, doesn't change how I feel about it though

Bro...I gotta ask...how did you find out you were getting cheated on?

but the corporate scoreboard is readers/eyeballs?

you are also talking about the reputation of the NYT (which owns the Athletic) - a propaganda rag that nobody has taken seriously for 5+ years

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

..i'm the one who got cheated on.. my wife was fukcing the marriage counselor, while I was paying him no less...

...total of $5,500 to be exact.

..but setting all that aside, plz accept my apologies. Prolly went a lil overboard with my responses to you.

It’s literally the only reason I could see why she was pushed out? They obviously didn’t want her to leave - someone had to make the call to push her though.

I am not personally defending their reputation as a corporation. Journalism on that scale is undoubtedly filled with bad actors and I’m confident the political spectrum is 10x worse. It’s amusing to see them grandstand while knowing they are dirty.

Dude!

I mean, I guess it was the best 5,500 you ever spent! You got out of the marriage!

I know that for me, personally, I will never be able to trust another article about an NFL team. EVER!!!

..haha

...didn't know it at the time, but she was sick, tumor had started to rewire her brain.. not her fault. I hold no ill will towards her, the counselor on the other hand, that guy caused so much damn trouble with that stunt. He can fukc off and die.

Has anybody here called to boycott The Atlantic if they didn't fire (forced resigned, whatever) her?

Those who are pro-she's-got-to-go, would probably also be okay with their good mechanic or favorite chef being fired by their employer too.

 

[InMotion]

I have a feeling Mr. Vrabel wasn't the only one she was fvcking.

How can we see all her deleted text messages?

If you cheated once, you probably thought about it 1000 times and probably did it a few times before gettin caught/confessing.

Most people don't "the one". You just marry the current one.

I knew somebody who married somebody he really liked, can't say for sure it was love, but she was very attractive and worth over a mil. Maybe close to 2. I know he loved that part!! Hahaha

..which begs the question, could you marry somebody you only liked, if they were worth bank?

 

[HuskerO58]

The deal being he fixes your car well AND takes your wife?

Or haven't cheated, but would have if presented the opportunity. Not for the sake of cheating, but being with another female who was dtf.
