'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E (W: 742)

Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Yet no one has posted the supposed "contract violation" that you say exists...So, until the specifics are posted then you are doing little more than speculating.
Actually they have. Just read above you and follow the conversation.
Actually it hasn't.


:doh
No such clause was posted.


"Phil and other family members also probably signed contracts containing "morals clauses""

Probably, does not mean, definitely.


Then we have A&E's responsibility in this, as they were present during the interview.
They did not intercede, so it must have been fine by their standards.

They would have a tough time explaining their actions if this was taken to court.
You can't be ok with it when it is done and then turn around and cite a violation of a moral clause because some extremists come along and played the homophobe card.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Just to make this crap stop, I'd join AlQ and target the Duck family.

Y'all have driven me to terrorism.

Nothing from the NR is worth a bootful of warm piss.

Best to throw mediamatters and puffington in with that.

We're also told that the contracts have morality clauses that give the network the right to get rid of cast members -- but the others still have to keep the show running.

‘Duck Dynasty’ family members contractually bound to A&E, source says | Fox News

And again.
No such clause was posted.

All you have are assertions based on assumptions.

Myself, I believe they exist in this case as they are the norm (that is an assumption), yet I can not say for certain because it has not been provided.

So again.
No such clause has been posted.

You may be right about the contract, but whats to stop the others from showing up and just sitting in front of the cameras and drinking ice tea, or just talking among themselves about cutting the grass, or just picking their noses and talk about who has the biggest bugger.

I know. Fox hates conservatives, so they are making it up. Sure. :coffeepap

Not much. But that would likely end the show. There's no law requiring they stay employed.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E


I don't really care how many {From the article you just gave me} "an insider connected to the production told FOX411." you post, it isn't the contract is it....? So you have nothing...Outside of this unnamed source, or that unnamed weasel....

I say we are all from Missouri on this....SHOW ME!

Denial isn't just a river. You just don't want to know.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

It's simple really Joe, you made a claim, and you can't back it up, but you want that claim to be taken at face value even after someone has asked for evidence of your claim...We call that Bull **** here.

Get a grip.
You are the only one making something up by assumption here.

Fox didn't say it. A Fox affiliate is reporting what a source said.

An unnamed source just like the LATimes article said....Boo has been asked to provide the clause in Phil's contract to back up his claim, and repeatedly refuses to do so. So, the only conclusion that can be drawn at this point is that Boo has NOTHING, but a rather dishonest approach to this thread....I for one am shocked!

Yes, I did. I gave you two sources.

Well he does have assumptions. :mrgreen:

Yes, a an accepted standard form of reporting. Something you'd accept in another context.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Yes, I did. I gave you two sources.

Nope, you gave me two news articles citing unnamed sources saying such...Means nothing....I asked for the specific contract clause in Phil's contract....You can't provide that, and now you are spinning....

Got that contract clause yet?

Accepted by those who want to accept bull ****....Got that contract clause yet?
