Monday night’s report from ESPN’s Mina Kimes and Jeff Passan that freshly minted New York Mets general manager Jared Porter sent unsolicited, explicit text messages to a female MLB reporter in 2016 drew a flood of response on Twitter from those in sports media.
The story of Porter’s behavior — the Mets announced on Tuesday morning that he’d been fired — was particularly familiar to women in the business, nearly all of us with memories of what we’ve endured and continue to endure in pursuit of doing our jobs.
In this case, justice has been served, even if it came several years after the fact.
