U.S. District Judge Lawrence P. Zatkoff criticized the "hubris of the players, engaging in behavior that would be rightfully deemed unacceptable if performed by anyone else in society ... simply because of their ability to hit a ball with a bat and run around the bases," The Detroit News reported Tuesday.

Amen lady!

The 37-year-old woman claimed players displayed pornography on laptop computers during flights on the team plane.

If I can't watch a good porno before I go lose another baseball game, then the terrorists have already won.

The Detroit News story on this mentions the Red Wings share the same plane and the flight attendant said they were "perfect gentlemen". Night and day difference, eh? I think Illitch (the team owner) should make them fly commercial and maybe then they'll realize how good they have it. Either that or one of those beater planes like in "Major League".

If she would have just kept her mouth "occupied" like all good stews should none of this would have happened.

smoking pot AND looking at pornography? disgraceful, and totally unheard of.

at least they were hetro, eh Piazza?

Baseball players are so cool.

I have pornography on my computer!

Nobody in the Detroit organization denied it? BS! Phil Garner (who managed the team at that time and was on the alleged flight) denied it on the Jim Rome show today and said that he gave testimony to the same effect. Nice fact checking morons.

"She also claimed a former player used marijuana in the plane's restroom, and that current player Matt Anderson called her profane names after she told him marijuana use was not permitted on the plane"
"Higginson and Anderson said Monday they had no recollection of the events Kesner alleges."

Kinda goes hand in hand, don't it?

By the way, you can't tell me the in-flight movie was much better.

Weren't they supposed to go bankrupt last Monday?

The ability to hit a ball with a bat? Based on what I've heard about this time, that just doesn't apply.

But they are BASEBALL players. Professional athletes are better than you and me. Thats why we pay them the big bucks and give them scholarships to school etc........

You all should be ashamed. I'm appalled. I hope they give these wholesome boys a nice little slap on the wrist and say "Now, don't you do that again! "

What a crock.

I know my grammar sucks, so this would be one of those kettle-pot situations. But shouldn't a professional news organization be able to catch "None of the players is named as a defendant in Kesner's suit."

bobby higginson swears!!!!! what kind of baseball player would swear?? infact what kind of american would use naughty language?

This doesn't really detail some of the problems enough, but if she can't handle walking by someone with porn on their screen, or someone swearing, is she really suited for a job attending to a bunch of ball players? She certainly shouldn't have to put up with abuse, but if you can't handle guys saying some "bad" words, maybe this isn't the job for you. Why should they have to pander to the tightest ass in the crowd?

People are too litigious and sensitive. Get over yourselves. Discover Life, and everything in it, you dipshiats. This biatch needs to be made rugby queen.

"All holes filled with cock"

Damn -- porn, booze, AND a charter flight? Sign me up.

gee a baseball player swore!
watta concept.
thin skinned little ho needs to get over it methinks.

Psuedonym: Damn straight.

Hmm... Biatchy stewardess, or MLB...
Kinda makes you want both sides to go fark themselves.

Porn, drugs, profanity and a total lack of respect. Hummm, sounds like a flying suburb of detroit.

The Tigers SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK the should disband this team for they just SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK .......later

Coondog, what are you referencing?

Ah, Detroit, get it together, why don't you.

Tozmo.. Probably the Canadian National Anthem fiasco.

Hey! I just went to a Tiger's game on Saturday. And they beat Chicago. Oh well...only a few more months until basketball.

I love to bash on rich and famous people as much as the rest of you, but I love bashing on biatchy ho-bags a lot more.

What can I say, women are tools of Beelzebub.

the only thing good about detroit is the hockey. and you know it's bad when a blues fan is saying that.

from what i've heard, though, the ladies over in windsor look awfully nice.

damn, saying something good about the red wings and canada in the same post? ahhhhhh! the terrorists have already won!

Actually I think one of the reasons they didnt get away with it is because of their inability to hit a ball and run around the bases.

hey wait, the tigers can't hit the ball or run around the bases

Way to go judge! Give them boys a tounge lashing they'll never forget.

Okay... First off, the Tigers are 6 and 4 for their last 10... True they're last in their division, but they're holding on at the moment. (too last place that is)...

Second off: Some chick, gets hit on by a bunch of horny atheletes... and EXPECTS it NOT to be vulgar and rude etc?

What the fark is wrong with this picture? The tigers should sue her for stupidity.

Stereotypes are fun but it's not too much to ask these guys to behave themselves for an hour and a half or however long the flight is. Plus, if you get to the bottom of the Detroit News article you'll see that the Red Wings fly the same plane and are "perfect gentlemen" so it's possible for athletes to act like normal human beings.

As a Tigers fan (obviously a very sad die-hard), I turn a blind eye to these slanderous accusations which are probably completely true. Can't we just forget about this incident because Tigers fans have already suffered so much? (It works for other offenses...)

Sad day for Tiger baseball...

Heh, at least we still have the ass-kicking Red Wings.


Baseball is a weenie-boys sport anyways, do you really want to be a weenie boy?

After the plane landed, the flight attendant shut them out on three hits over six-and-a-third innings.

"I kind of know who the lady is, but it was never a big issue in my life," Anderson said

What a typical asshat. The world revolves around a baseball.

The animals in Detroit need daily beatings to keep them in line.

Simple solution for stewardesses (well, kind of...):
Dress yourselves as a routine pop-in foul territory. Can't promise the Tigers WON'T touch you, but they'll certainly not make much of an effort to get to you.

Go on strike gentlemen, you're OBVIOUSLY underpaid...

I think it's amusing how the Red Wings are the Yankees of hockey in terms of buying players, yet the Tigers are a "small-market" baseball team.

As a Detroit Native, I am embarressed by most of our horrible sports teams. Pay more attention to the Red Wings. Go Wings!!!
