He’s talking about a 2006 story in the U.C. Berkeley Daily Californian about Chris, a former U.C. honor student and football star, who was accused of behaving very badly at a San Francisco strip club. No charges were filed, nor police report made and the younger Purtz denied the accusations.
But the Daily Cal interviewed club employees and a surveillance camera showed some scuffling. The incident got him suspended from the Bears football team.

Other sites took down the strip club story on request, including Gawker’s sports blog, Deadspin, which advertises itself as “sports news without access, fact or discretion.” Not entirely without discretion, it seems. Editor A.J. Daulerio said he was “comfortable” removing the Purtz piece “based on the circumstances and the fact that it would have no impact on us whatsoever.”
