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? |
There is something to be said about the court of public opinion. Yes, on some level, I actually do totally sympathize with the whole 'well what the hell does that have to do with his ability to do his job?' sentiment. Donald Sterling and David Petraeus come to mind. But that's precisely the risk component of being a public figure; not at all unlike how CEOs have hyperinflated salaries, it's often (though not at all often enough) that their performance can bring a company down, and the inherent risk of this position is why there is such a premium on their demand. I can't even believe what bullshit I am spewing, CEOs never suffer for anything hahahajkl afk.
Without knowing more about the specifics of what Spacey Orange is talking about though, it's difficult to discuss this with any meaning because it's such a situational thing. But from other examples, resignation following a scandal is more damage control than anything else, and it has far more to do with an omnipresent media that loves to infer sordid details than a mere reflection of American society's alleged pearl-clutching. If anything, it speaks of this manager's responsibility to protect the wife he wronged from any further hurt, if you ask me- rather similar to Petraeus' scandal.
