Harold Reynolds is a respected baseball analyst, who apparently made an error in judgment which led to a sexual harassment claim against him, which led to his dismissal from ESPN.

The penalties for sexual harassment are very real - and so are the consequences. We'll wait to see how this all plays out, but I think erring on the side of caution, when it come to something of an inherently sexual nature in the workplace, is usually a good strategy. Harold Reynolds probably would have kept his job, had he exercised that choice.
