Yes, in fact, they can. Have you not ever been a party to an employment contract negotiation?

I don't know what you think you imagined you read, but it does NOT include a reference to the specific language of Schiller's employment contract that he "supposedly" violated.

Perhaps you can enlighten us all, and post the exact language in the pertinent clause in Schilling's contract.

That's what Tipper and Al Gore (Democrats, BTW) said... How did that work out?

It was YOUR link. What was the purpose of YOUR link? Just hoping nobody would actually read your link?

...and they are guilty of having double standards

Schilling loses his job for posting an offensive tweet about the transgender issue and another ESPN employee bragged on Twitter about almost ramming into a car because of a bumper sticker and not only kept his job, but to the best of my knowledge was never even reprimanded for it.

Once again, certain people, certain politics and certain groups are fair game to the PC crowd and you can say any disgusting thing you want to them or about them and they could not care less. Go after one of their protected groups though and they will do whatever they can to fire you, sue you or shut you up.

Or disprove it.

It's pretty clear he broke the agreement he signed.

Yep, but you haven't.

I have because i have to renegotiate my contract in the aftermath of every successful contract that my company bids on (on this project). That's usually every 3 years or so. But it ain't like everything is on the table. All exempt employees in management have to do this over here. It's not even a big deal, and no one is walking out of the negotiation with the motherlode. It ain't happening.

The overwhelming majority of Americans DO NOT have this ability because their jobs aren't structured that way. You know this of course. You're just trying to make it seem as if you're some big wig that gets to walk in your boss' office and demand more at your whim.

Stop it. It ain't that kinda party for you and you know it.

You CD cats are just amazing with the stuff you try to pass off.

If there are any legal ramifications between ESPN and Schilling, they would simply buy out his contract and it would only be a drop in the bucket for ESPN. They may have already done that.

Other than ESPN firing him for that specific reason?

And I can't wait to see what evidence you provide for this assertion.

Some of us recognize it for what it actually is.
And while I'm at it, I just have to ask - could you elaborate a bit on this?
