Well, if we’re being explicit, Marchman said ‘yes’ when asked ‘did you get her OK before posting this.’

why did marchman post the police interview without the victim’s permission?

Yeah this would never happen somewhere peaceful, like the Bay Area.

Does anyone at deadspin even watch or like baseball? Interference never gets called if your slide is close enough to touch the bag. Tejada has his back turned to Utley, which is not a good position to be in to avoid contact at 2B.

Him going into Tejada was to break up the double play not to hurt him. He just didn’t care if Tejada was injured as long as the double play wasn’t completed .

Hard and late slide? Yes. But intent to injure? No. Dodgers down 2-1 in the 7th and down 1-0 in the series with an unreliable Anderson pitching game 3 vs. Harvey in NY, Utley had to make sure to prevent any chance for the double-play.

I love how everyone can assume Utley’s intent was to maim Tejada when it is clearly just to break up the double play. I would guess he was indifferent to Tejada’s health when he decided to slide.

There is no proof he was trying to injure Tejada. He was just trying to break up the double play, and within the rules since he started his slide before the bag and was with reach of the base.

For breakfast will you be making hot takes with indignation?

Jaqueline is actually a common Black woman’s name

Hahahahaha, you’re taking this pretty hard. I think we all know it was more than obvious that the question OP (and almost everyone else) asked was in regards to the video. I hope you are able to salvage this day, as it’s quite early and you’re already in a sour mood. <3

While this is a very forceful (and righteously indignant!) response, it in no way serves as an explanation to the comment I made. I was suggesting that Tim ought to address the discrepancies between his firm assertion that the victim consented to the video being posted, and the victim’s assertion that she did no such…

Wherein yes means... No?

What the fuck?

This bums me out so, so badly. I believe people, it’s this thing (I’m working on it) so when the author said upthread that this was OK with her, I just accepted that. I’m so sorry to see this is not the case. Very retraumatizing.

Sure doesn’t look like it, Tim. This would seem to go against everything that you guys shame other news outlets for. At the very least an explanation is in order.

Uh huh.

She appears to be under the impression she was told, not asked.

Umm...No, you didn’t.
