I’ve always thought is was so sad, when people lose there jobs for saying one stupid thing. But I guess it goes with the territory of public life. Of course most of those in this story, deserve everything they got!
I do remember I few years ago hearing Tom Grieve, Texas Ranger Great, utter some explitives in the direction of Hideki Irabu when he thought the TV broadcast had gone to commercial. I can’t remember if he was punished or not.
