Abstract
It has recenty been noted that the nonsymmetric metric model of gravity faces severe observational constraints. We show here that it is also subject to physically unacceptable formal difficulties even as an effective field theory: When expanded about a Riemannian background, the model exhibits curvature-coupled negative-energy (ghost) modes and unacceptable asymptotic behavior.
