Recently a manager of a baseball team resigned his job because he was unfaithful to his wife. Really? Why does his vow to his wife have any bearing on his fitness to manage baseball players. Imo, this is getting ridjchlous

Depends on the country, and depends on the mood, really.

I don't believe Brazilians would even care about it. However, we're prudish in our own way, and I don't know what would happen if we had our very own Fran�ois Hollande or Bill Clinton.

Principals have intercourse with students in Romania. No one says anything.

Happens all the time in my culture. Nobody cares. But if you're a woman and you get caught, run for your life, seriously, flee the country and hide in a hole.

Prudishness would be eradicated if more Americans obtained a passport and travelled somewhere outside of an all-inclusive resort.

Who's Ron Washington and who would want to have an affair with him?

Public relations. Believe it or not things like this can have an affect on things like attendance and tv ratings. In other words, let's hire a guy that can avoid these problems.

this guy gets it.

same reason why tiger lost all his sponsorships when the news broke.

this has nothing to do with countries or anything, simply just a business decision

That's a very region/country/local dependent thing. Countries that are very stepped in any of the YAG religions (like the US) tend to be more prudish, though that's not always the case.

Clinton getting a BJ had nothing to do with his ability to run a country either. Marriage problems are private family matters and shouldn't be judged as part of your day job, unless it actually affects your day job performance. Otherwise, it should be private family matters.

We live in a country of pious hypocrites. There is a loophole for the entire constitution and bill of rights.

Your soul belongs to me.

If the public didnt care it wouldnt affect the business and there would be no decision to be made.

You usually need a passport for those Mr Mensa.

A manager is a face of an organization. You put a bad face on the organization and you will be gone, regardless of the industry. Do you think Americans are prudes just because Charles Manson isn't in charge of UNICEF?

There are a lot of fucking mentally constipated Americans, but taking people to task for cheating on their spouse is not prudish at all. Like Jay has said, a Manager represents an organization, and in this case, they admitted to breaking an oath to another person. You cannot trust them to not lie and cheat in other things, you know, like baseball games.

Yes, good point, sociosexual taboos would be completely demolished if Americans would just wander off the resort sometimes and relish the inevitable diarrhea from sampling the local fauna. Good call.

But thats my point, the bad face is relative to those people looking at it. In some places the public would not care about the fact that he cheated and the organisations reputation would not suffer and there would be no action taken.

Well, no, I would agree with you there. But, him losing his job has to be related to the attitude of the organisation to these things, which in turn is related to the population at large.

Again I wouldnt disagree that what hes done is a mark of his character, but its not exactly gross misconduct for a sports manager, is it?

The US is the most pathetic country on earth. Its a complete joke and at this point I'm ashamed to even live here. Can't wait to get a passport and leave this shithole.

I'm guessing you're in your early to mid 20's?
