I know a lot of officials that have flaws...one is in my office right now in fact . I don't wish those with flaws to be fired. There are some that should be, but not for a single issue.

Flaws get people fired from all kinds of jobs. Not sure why this is any different? And it is in a sport that has a lot of ethnic people involved.

Big picture. I don't know what was said or done but most employers look at everything when deciding to hire/fire, not a single issue, unless that issue is so egregious they don't have a choice.

Have you ever been late for work? Did they fire you?

Yes I have been late to work or an appointment. I have even been late to a game because of the right traffic or weather issue. But that happens to all of us for some reason or another.

What does not happen all the time is what you say that is inappropriate. And in this current climate, you cannot say what you want.

Peace

Agree....if he does come back and does it again, then maybe he should be let go. But one mistake shouldn't cost him his career.

This wasn't the first "mistake" by Hess. He has had other problem incidents too.

Not everything is about one mistake. Ray Rice committed one mistake too and he is not back with any team. It is the kind of "one mistake" you make.

And I am not advocating he never come back to be clear. I just think that might have ended his viable career realistically at that level unless he is willing to work a very small conference schedule for the most part.

Peace
