The Mets have fired their recently-hired GM after it became known he sent d!ck pics and more than 60 unanswered, unwanted messages - over a period of weeks
- to a female ESPN reporter when he was working for the Cubs.
I'm
still reading through his messages, lol. I think ESPN is taking a piss because the reporter in question got freaked out and went back to her "home country." It's pretty cringe-worthy stuff, and remember, this guy was running a major league ball club.
New York Mets general manager Jared Porter sent explicit, unsolicited texts and images to a female reporter in 2016, culminating with a picture of an erect, naked penis, according to a copy of the text history obtained by ESPN.

I guess advanced analytics still doesn't include the Book of Pook.
Part of me doesn't like that men are getting fired for actions at past employers. Yes, shiit flows downhill. The Mets are CYA'ing.
Advanced analytics guys are not always alpha males. A lot of those guys were nerdy guys and sometimes STEM majors, though a Econ major can get those jobs. Economics can be rather quantitative. These guys in general are not socially calibrated.
When a STEM major or a guy who didn't get much attention from the women in high school and college starts making big money, he believes his money entitles him to the vaginas of the most attractive women. It doesn't always work out that way and these guys are often disappointed because they devoted themselves to their studies and work to enhance their sexual market value.

He is lower class male, according to the scale bellow. He has money, but does not have sexapil nor status. If he would have had sexapil at least, he'd get her, if he had all 3 she'd be messaging him the pics. That's the problem, even though he is general manager, he has no status with that woman. That woman would prefer a player at least, or maybe a CEO, or a general manager with money and sexapil, but he had no sexapil.

In professional athletics, you're exactly right that women prefer the on the field athletes.
Front office staff has changed over the years. Front office personnel in all pro sports used to be more of retired players until the 1990s. In the late 1990s in baseball, one ex-player General Manager named Billy Beane changed it. Beane turned down Stanford to play pro baseball. This is a smart guy and he saw an advantage in the quantitative approach. There were quants in baseball before Beane. Beane's GM predecessor in Oakland, Sandy Alderson (now with the Mets), took steps in the quant direction. In the 1980s with the Mets,
field manager Davey Johnson was also a quant. Johnson earned a mathematics while playing baseball, a nice addition to his 10+ years as a major league second baseman.
The problem with too many quants is that quants are not usually physically fit studs. Davey Johnson and Billy Beane were reasonably athletic, so they could get away with it.
That is some terrible simp game, even starting off I was not that bad.
Simp game is always unimpressive. I don't understand texting a woman 60 times without a response. I don't want to see the texts but there are few occasions where a penis pic is appropriate to send. This situation wasn't one of them.
