BP or CL sting.

Seen he was caught for soliciting yesterday. How dumb could this guy be? Former player with a great job, and he blows it for being cheap and stupid. One of my favorite announcers to watch a basketball game. Talk about a mental midget. No reason a guy like him should ever get caught..

The man is almost 50, what college he went to quit being relevant a couple of decades ago.

and why don't we blame the true villain here, which is our draconian anti prostitution laws. I don't give a fuck who is fucking who, the only person who should really give a fuck about this is his wife. These "morality" clauses in contracts are nothing more than sellouts to the PC Police, and it still amazes me that guys like Anthony can't get a break, even here where you'd think he might get a bit of empathy.

Atlanta defensive back who received a civic award and got busted for soliciting a blow job the night BEFORE the Super Bowl some years back-BTW, Atlanta lost and Robinson got beat a couple of times in the game which contributed to the loss-

Take back the last comment which rushed to judgement. News accounts state that he was busted in a decent hotel in downtown DC. Cops said he used a computer to commit the crime? WTF? Was this a BP sting or was LE able to infiltrate TER or P411?  Really would like to know.

There hasn't been a CL sting in years, ever since CL bowed to the pressure from the PC police and stopped accepting ads from hookers.

and just what are you basing your answer that it was a BP/CL sting? Do you have any actual facts, or are you simply talking out of your ass again?

He was asking what CL was. Yes they do CL stings in the DC region. Along with Facebook and other internet sites.

CL has been out of the hooker business for years

That's why I asked you if you had any proof that it was a CL/BP sting, or if you were simply pulling shit out of your ass. I guess I have my answer. If you don't have a clue, don't pretend to know what's going on and post what you THINK happened as if it were fact.

good announcer, hope he doesn't lose his job with tnt and cbs.  

He did not use good judgment, as a millionaire he should already have access to the hottest escorts available... no reason he should be calling sting ads, not to mention places like CR, Colombia, Brazil, and the Philippines where it's legal. Hopefully he learns from his mistakes and is given another chance

I just can't believe that celebrity whore mongers are treated no better here than they are by the MSM and society in general.

As for only hobbying "out of the country" it's hard to control when you "have the urge", but for a guy with as much to lose as him, you would have thought he would be a bit smarter about how he went about it.

I agree and hope with you that he is allowed to do the "apology circuit" go through some kind of stupid "awareness therapy" or some such load of crap, and then get his job back, but I am not optimistic. Not in this PC environment we live in, and not when sports are fighting a public relations battle of their own where it comes to perceived "bad behavior" especially against women, and seeing hookers is definitely perceived that way by the public. Because of this current environment, his chances are slim IMHO. What a fucking shame.

You maybe right his days as a announcer could be numbered, I read online that he was suspended indefinitely.  

The whole thing to me is just dumb, spending the taxpayers money, time and resources just to fuck with two consenting adults.  

They legalized marijuana, so just maybe there's hope they legalize escorting, hell it's tax season could you imagine how much money uncle sam would collect, lol that's incentive enough to make it legal.

but if a whore mongering celebrity can't even catch a break HERE of all places, what chance does he have in "civilized" (read PC) society?

Until more people come out in public and say "Yes I frequent prostitutes, So fucking what!!!" ala Charlie Sheen and maybe a handful of others, and myself of course, we will always be the pariahs of society.

Remember it wasn't that awful long ago that gays were scared to "come out" if it weren't for a few brave souls who refused to live their lives as a lie, gays would still be scared to come out. "Hobbyists" IMO are a bunch of scared little pussies, who want someone else to do the hard work to remove the stigma, if you aren't part of the solution, then you are part of the problem. Rant over. lol

They have not reached critical mass, ie they need job to make ends meet and save for retirement. Some have government jobs or jobs in financial industry or jobs that requiring licensing (lawyers, doctors) that can be revoked. I know people who had job offers revoked after the hiring company found out they were involved in prostitution.

Rape, murder, gang related crime. Back in 2014 one dc cop was put away for being a pimp of girls under 18. 2013 another dc cop was in trouble for making child porn.This was a good thing to take the heat of the dc police department. It was done as a publicity stunt, imho.

This man is almost 50 years old and has accomplished a lot in his life.  Probably much more than those who are are tasked with the fucking useless job of arresting people who are of no danger to our society.  

And to ruin his career on top of that, makes little sense and is totally unjust.   On the other hand, some guy can hit and beat on a woman and only get a slap on the wrist.    

If he really is a good man I hope his wife, among others, support him.     After all,  Hillary did it for Bill.

He openly was against Obama in the 2008 election. I am sure they had intel that he was into the hobby and set up a dragnet to catch him. Remember prostitution laws are used to go after political enemies.

They tipped off the press pretty fast. What we don't know if a provider was flipped that he saw before. Or a provider got busted and mentioned that he was into the hobby. Even with guys who are not famous the providers talk about us among LE and other providers.

In the video on news channel 7 dc (wjla), they made the point to indicate that LE set up the sting pretty fast. They left the impression that right after they set up the hotel for incall sting he was arrested pretty fast. It is almost like he answered an ad an they had to get to the hotel pretty fast. Maybe the professional hobbyists could tell it was a fake/sting ad and they avoid it. Then finally bingo they get some bait. If you notice the sting happened on the beginning of Holiday weekend.

I think it more of the fact that he picked the wrong hotel to stay in, as from what I read it was the case that the police had a good enough number of people complaining about the comings and goings of different women in the area at different hotels. What Greg Anthony needs to do is come out and say that he has a addiction problem and will seek out the best treatment to cure himself.
