Damn! WHAT is going on in professional sports these days? Texas Rangers’ Coach Steps Down, Rumors Of Sex Assault Surface Ron Washington, the coach of the Texas Rangers abruptly stepped down two weeks ago without any explanation. Now, he has finally addressed the media in a press conference, revealing an unspecified transgression of his wife’s trust — but insiders claim there are many more dark details to this story. Via MailOnline : The former coach of the Texas Rangers quit over allegations that he sexually assaulted a reporter, it was claimed today. Ron Washington is said to have stepped down before the claims come to light – as they are expected to in the coming weeks. The allegations were made by The Scoop, a Texas-based sports blog run by its founder Jamie Kelly, a former Fox Sports journalist. In her report Kelly said: ‘Washington’s sudden departure from the club was due to impending legal issues stemming from an alleged sexual assault of a reporter.’ She cited a ‘a source with knowledge of the situation’ but did not elaborate further in the short post. MailOnline understands that there are only a handful of female reporters who cover the Rangers full time. A spokeswoman for the North Texas District Attorney’s office, which covers the Dallas Fort Worth area, said she was ‘not aware’ of any investigation. However the victim may not yet have come forward and spoken to police, meaning that prosecutors would not have spoken to her yet. Kelly did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington broke his silence after abruptly resigning from the team two weeks ago by admitting he was unfaithful to his wife. Washington. who attended a Dallas news conference with his wife Gerry at his side, said: ‘I was not true to my wife after 42 years. I broke her trust. I’m here today to own that mistake and apologize to her and those I disappointed.’ ‘Today, I’m at a very low time in my life,’ said Washington as his wife Gerry, sat in a chair to the side of the podium with an attorney. ‘I’m sorry for breaking the trust that I had with my wife and for disappointing my players, for disappointing my coaches, for disappointing Major League Baseball and for disappointing the Texas Rangers. ‘All I ask is for your forgiveness and your understanding.’ ‘This matter is certainly personal, and we’re trying hard to put it behind us,’ said Washington. ‘I was born to be a baseball player; I’m a baseball lifer. ‘The Rangers gave me a home and I’m thankful for that, and also thankful for the experience to have the opportunity to manage here in Texas. I look to the future and getting back in the game and continuing my career.’ His resignation earlier this month took effect immediately, with bench coach Tim Bogar stepping up as interim manager for the remainder of the season. The New Orleans native had previously tested positive for cocaine during the 2009 season, and been subjected to random drug testing ever since, with then-team president Nolan Ryan deciding to keep him on as manager, even as he offered to leave the team. He said at the time in a statement: ‘I have submitted my resignation from the job I love – managing the Rangers – in order to devote my full attention to addressing an off-the-field personal matter.’ SMH!! We’ll keep you posted on the details of this as we find out more…
Earlier this week, Urban Outfitters was forced to issue an apology and pull a sweatshirt off its shelves that it dubbed “vintage.” For what reason? The sweatshirt represented Kent State University and most definitely looked like it had blood splattered all over it, a clear reference to the tragic shootings in May of 1970 that claimed four lives on campus. Yeah. Urban Outfitters actually went there. For some reason. And Urban Outfitters has gone there many times in the past, as this company has become infamous for some seriously scandalous articles of clothing. It’s often been joined by retailers Zara and American Apparel, both of whom should be ashamed of some of their creations. References to the Nazis? To mental illness? To… a bloody vagina ?!? Why did these companies include these controversies on their clothing? To make headlines, we suppose. As you can see in the gallery below, it definitely worked: 13 Controversial Articles of Clothing 1. Vintage Kent State Shirt Urban Outfitters actually put a shirt for sale that it called “vintage” and which recalled a massacre at Kent State in 1970.
Rumors of Ariana Grande’s insane diva behavior have been making the rounds online lately, and the “Problem” singer has mainly kept quiet on the subject. Yesterday, however, when reports began to circulate that Ariana said she hopes her fans f–king die , the songbird finally felt the need to speak up. “Man some of these rumors that have been coming out about me lately actually have me laughing out loud,” Ariana tweeted. “Really can’t take em seriously.” Clearly not concerned about looking like she’s overcompensating, Ariana proceeded to fire off several more tweets on the subject, saying: “love love love love love. k? n here’s some more love for u. even those who are unkind. here’s some love for u too. u need it most… what u put out you get back. “live for love and your life will be pretty.” “not to quote rent but ima boutta quote rent. share love. give luv. spread luv. measure ur life in luv. (I quoted rent & I’m not apologizing)” “sooner or later ppl will realize that what u put out is what u get back. the lies/hate etc. give love & I promise life will treat u better :)!” 23 Facts About Ariana Grande 1. Her Name Was Inspired By a Cartoon Ariana’s name was inspired by Princess Oriana from Felix the Cat! Wow. Doth Ariana protest too much? We’d say she’s laying it on a bit too thick, and considering some of the things she (allegedly) said, all that “love” she professes might not be enough. Many young stars have been the subject of vicious tabloid reports featuring exaggerated prima donna behavior, but in Ariana’s case, the sources are pretty credible. The now-infamous “f–king die” quote comes from the The N.Y. Daily News, and just last week, E!’s Giuliana Rancic confirmed that the rumors about Ariana’s behavior are true . Giuliana in particular is not in the business of lying, as her network thrives on stroking celebrity egos and the all-access exclusives this gets them. Regardless, Ariana’s shaking it off. Here’s hoping she’s telling the truth, but if not, that lil Ari can get her ego in check before she divas herself right out of a career. 29 Hottest Ariana Grande Photos 1.
