Mark;
Please tell me why this is unethical. Please tell me why this is unprofessional.
Ethics are prinicipals drawn from long standing philosophical and religious documents. They often have a basis in the law as well.
Where in the Bible, Torah, or Koran does it tell one that he cannot do a job that someone else refuses to do?
What law has one broken if he takes a job as a replacement umpire?
Please name some established philosophers and a specific writing that makes it unethical to work as a replacement umpire.
Professionalism standards are drawn from published documents that have standing within the profession. Where in the "Instructions to Umpires, Rule 9, or other tomes of baseball does it prohibit umpires from working as replacements?
BTW, don't quote the Golden Rule to me. I've never been on strike and will never go on strike. There is simply no way that I can connect with "Do unto others..." in this situation. In may interest you to know that I am a card carrying union member of a public employees union. We are forbidden to strike. If my union ordered a strike, I would ignore their instructions.
Thanks,
Bob
