SI Fires Gimelstob! - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**SiM7W2zi** · 07-07-2008, 06:06 PM

from Jon's 50 things Wimbledon recap:

• I was absolutely bombarded with e-mail pertaining to L'Affaire Gimelstob. If you check out the SI.com tennis page you can see that my bosses have addressed the situation.

when you go to the Tennis home page, every reference to Justin is long gone.

I was looking for an apology statement. I guess they made a much BIGGER statement. Good for them! This almost makes up for SI not naming Federer Sportsman of the Year when they had the chance.

Wow. Good luck with your other pursuits, JG.

**JonDopl** · 07-07-2008, 06:12 PM

LOL, not sure if I should be happy or not!

Still glad they heeded the peoples concerns.

Well, well, well. Good work SI.

Too bad we can't do a damn thing about his being on the ATP board.

**Freefspruptpx** · 07-07-2008, 06:20 PM

Who says we can't?

And I haven't given up on Tennis Channel, yet. I hope others won't give up, either.

The ATP heads have email addresses too.

Yes, indeed they do.

Saw this late last night....WOOHOOO!!!!!!

I wish SI.com would put out a statement of some kind.

**fruttomma** · 07-07-2008, 07:53 PM

I know what you mean, but any trace of Gimelstob vanishing overnight is not a bad statement as is

**UnmariKam** · 07-07-2008, 08:09 PM

There is still some integrity out there! Thanks SI!

**huylibizonoff** · 07-07-2008, 10:01 PM

WELL- nelslus certainly HOPES that all of you censorship buffs are satisfied now.

P.S. OK, nelslus indeed shall lose no sleep over this. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

**doctorzlo** · 07-07-2008, 10:08 PM

I'm glad SI listened to their readers. I hope the Tennis Channel listens to their viewers and fires him as well.

**maxuilg** · 07-07-2008, 10:56 PM

OUTSTANDING!!!!

**Veveseinlep** · 07-07-2008, 11:00 PM

Censorship reigns supreme!!

**seodiary** · 07-08-2008, 01:56 AM

Good for SI for for seeing an unfunny, blowhard of a bad writer for what he is, and ceasing to pay him or associate with him. They've got much better and classier writers, so I'm glad to hear they're sticking with quality.

**georgshult** · 07-08-2008, 02:51 AM

Well I am proud of all the squeaky wheels in this case. Justin needed a whole vat of piping hot grease poured all over him.
