| 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.

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 |
:conf:
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 ing 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 hole. |
