It was so weird listening to WWL radio playing ad reads done by Seth Dunlap during yesterday's game.

What a milquetoast comment. I’m trying to understand the “undertones” he is talking about. He is commenting about a horrible hateful comment tweeted but now it is part of the wwl “undertones”
Stay away from the comment section on WWLTV facebook page regarding this. A bunch of loons claiming that Seth did it ala Jussie Smollett. I hate society
if this is true it makes it much worse for WWLFrom things I am hearing, it appears as though because of Seth’s post on facebook about the Brees / FoF connection, he ruffled some feathers around the sports world and at WWL. Brees is a very important person to WWL, and that post put him on the spot. Many felt it was out of line for Seth to question Brees as a sportscaster for WWL , the flagship station for the Saints. Not sure if his post was sanctioned or not though. That will be important.
Someone went rogue on Twitter and posted an insulting post. At this point, it’s possible that WWL knows who did it or at least have it narrowed down.
Not sure if Seth has officially retained a lawyer but he’s being advised by a lawyer who is fairly well versed in these things. She’s young but evidently she knows how to navigate the waters. It’s widely believed that there will be a lawsuit.
Other media outlets are probing the issue so we’ll hear more as things unfold. The story has clearly died down though.
Imo, Seth’s days at WWL are over. WWL will be sued and they’ll settle with Seth. He’ll move on.

Yeah. They’ll settle and move on
Probably so - but none of the options is without its complications. The biggest questions remain who did it (whether WWL is able to conclude), what did WWL do or is going to do about it, and what of any of that they actually disclose to Seth. And you can come up with adverse outcomes for WWL in just about any combination of possible answers to those three questions.
Plus, there’s the public image and trust issue. Simply settling with Seth and sweeping it under the rug without some explanation is risky - this was a very public, offensive incident on one of the station’s official communications platforms. The most ideal result would be for WWL to find out who do it, terminate that person, invite Seth back and actually accomplish a professional working environment there. That might not be possible nor might they want that - but there again is the risk to the public in appearing to not have addressed it professionally.

Somehow, I don't think the average WWL listener cares, and probably agrees with calling Seth what he was called.
Judging by the comments on the reporting of this on WWLTVs facebook page,I completely agree,and quite frankly,its completely disgusting. I hope who ever it was is brought public and destroyed by the City. Seth seems like an awesome guy and I really enjoy his show.
Seth should be able to stay on and do his job, which by almost all accounts, he's good at. Unfortunately, too many people can't see past their own prejudices.
Has he even filed a suit?Seth could have used the incident to really bring about meaningful discussions around this topic. He definitely had the platform and was well respected. But I guess its a lot easier to just collect a lump sum from a settlement.
