yep. They will reach a settlement.

It doesn’t matter. The consistency argument only works if he was fired in a discriminatory manner. Companies have very broad discretion under our at will employment laws.

They fired McKnight not Bernstein. They fired Goff not Parkins. They fired Julie not Mully. This happens everyday in corporate America. All legal.

There can be any number of reasons that a tweet is deleted. Imagine a scenario where you can get out of an employment contract because an employee deletes a tweet. Levine deleted his tweet too.

I would assume that his contract includes a clause on embarrassing his employer as a grounds for ending the contract. If the Levine tweet didn't meet that standard then it's hard to argue that Mac's tweet did.

Just like anything, it's not a slam dunk that Mac would win but he clearly has a case.

Goff, McDoink and Julie were different types. They just fired them to fire them. To cut costs.

This was a specific reason based on a tweet.

Of course it's about the contract. He was a contract employee.

Mac, can you post your contract here so we can see if you have a chance in court ?

The difference is Hillary is a universally despised political figure and hot babe is an innocent bystander. Much more damage to the company. Theoretically

Obviously they can fire him and pay his contract.

I'm saying Mac should ask for more money in a law suit. That's my point. And I do think he has a case.

He didn't defend his tweet. He admitted it was wrong by deleting it. There's no case for "it's a compliment".

I'd like to introduce you to the concept of "at-will" employment.

Mac wasn't an "at-will" employee. He has a contract.

I didn't look too much into it but Levine's tweet seemed like a mistake, like he posted the wrong picture. Kinda different.

Well, yeah. Bruce isn't a right winger or Trump fan, so it makes no sense.

My god that would be glorious.

My point was he doesn’t have a statutory claim, ie discrimination. His only potential cause of action is contractual.

Mac's wife is an attorney, trust me, you arent inventing nuclear power with this take.



p.s. Harry T really winds up the big winner here, I feel bad his father passed away, but how much do you think he inherited. That guy is probably 8 figures on the street liquid.


Just cash those dividend checks, take care of your health and raise your kids. Harry T making cash the old fashioned way (much like Parkins will- INHERIT IT!!!!!!!)

later

p.s. I was also thinking if I was in Parkins' shoes after college and told my parents I wanted to take a year off to play online poker and be a dope smoking fuck, I wonder what branch of the armed forces recruiting office I would have been thrown out of my late fathers Park Avenue as he slowed to 25 MPH and informed me to roll with the impact.

I never said I was inventing nuclear power with this take. Yeah, good for Mac. His wife is an attorney. So she might give him a discount to take on this case. Then again, she might charge him double. Who knows?

sabu, what would your father had done if you had gone on the radio and talked about the need to take Blue Chew to get it up for your wife while you were still in your 30s?

I would think that given his history he may have language in his contract that specifically allows them to can him immediately if he messes up.

My point is "Did he mess up?" I'm not so sure that he did.

And I'm suggesting that he go to court to figure that out.

If Steven A. Smith posts that about Cam Newton during one of Cam's postgame conferences, does Steven A even get suspended?

If Jim Rome posts that about Cam Newton, does he get fired?
