Welcome to another episode of IF THE SHOES FIT; a show where we solve salacious situations by stepping into the shoes of the shaken…the chagrined…the kerfuffed! This week: Liam Neeson, Virginia State of Mind. Join along while Alexei, Eugene and Nate discuss PR issues in the non-MMA world!
Now let’s get to stepping!
Step into the shoes of Liam Neeson. Without being asked, you volunteered an embarrassing story about the rape of a friend by a black man FUELING your ANGER to roam the streets…for a week and a half…to KILL a RANDOM black dude, live and in public, if you will. Despite denouncing your past, you are being judged in the present. What should be your future PR steps? – 1:02 video, 23:58 audio
Step into the shoes of the Democratic Party. Your Virginia Governor Ralph Northam and Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax are facing separate allegations about questionable past conduct. The governor admitted posing in black face next to a classmate dressed as a member of the Ku Klux Klan during Med school. A day later. he denied it was him, but admitted to darkening his skin in the past to look like Michael Jackson for a dance contest. As he was about to perform a moonwalk, his wife stopped him, live and in public, if you will. The same day, his Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax was accused of sexually assaulting a staffer in 2004, which he denied a day later. What PR steps do you need to make to handle this mess? – 12:36 video, 34:47 audio
Step into the shoes of the NFL. Fans of exiled quarterback Colin Kaepernick included high profile musicians who refused to play your Super Bowl halftime show, celebrities and fans who openly boycotted watching as well. The result? The lowest ratings in ten years. What moves do you need to take to make the Super Bowl great again? – 23:50 video, 46:01 audio
