That isn't true in the slightest. Al and Jimmy were forced to resign under pressure and fired, respectively. Marge Schott was ridiculed, suspended, and forced to sell her team from her idiocy.

I completely agree with the firing of Hess and generally agree with JRut in the prev thread, but to say that it was dismissed is objectively and completely wrong.
