If you believe for one second that politics had no part in the Beard decision then you’re one incredibly naive individual.
Contracts for coaches are now more broadly defining termination for cause to include almost anything the university deems worthy of being a terminable offense. There’s no due process for the employee. The reason the university demands to wield this kind of power is because they can placate to the interests of those who are in power politically rather than uphold the rule of law and honor their obligations under the contract. Courts used to interpret termination for cause to only include the most egregious crimes and gross misconduct cases which means you would have to be actually tried and convicted or admit to the gross misconduct. That was precedent for many years. Now, because of liberal judges elected by moron democrat voters, they willfully ignore established precedent and have more broadly defined termination for cause to include basically anything the employer decides. This is wrong on many levels and a dangerous slippery slope.
KC, let’s say you’re boyfriend were to accuse you of sexually assaulting him and he even created his own cuts and bruises on himself to show as evidence to police and you’re arrested. Later, your employer fired you as a result because they didn’t want to deal with the negative PR. If you had the same contract language as Chris Beard you would probably feel that a gross injustice was imposed upon you. Especially if the police dropped the charges once your boyfriend admitted to making up the whole episode. That’s the position Beard has consistently taken during this entire episode. Nobody has any clue about what actually happened between Beard and his girlfriend. So I’ve never speculated nor taken a position because I don’t know what happened. You think Beard messed up because you believe what his girlfriend initially reported. Do you believe her after she completely retracted her story? Because she lied, I don’t believe anything she says. The reason you think Beard messed up is because you honestly believe that he physically assaulted her despite the fact that has never been proven. You believe it because you immediately fall for the politically correct narrative that all women should be believed, even if they are lying. Or, in the alternative, you believe that an employer should have the right to terminate a binding contract for any reason. If that’s your position, then half the players in the NFL should have their contracts terminated because of their conduct. The reality is that too many employers are looking for ways to weasel out of paying the remainder of the salary owed under the contract. And they’re getting tremendous assistance from liberal judges elected by morons who say ALL women should be believed even if they’re lying.
I understand this is all way way way over your head so you’re probably not capable of comprehending the impact of politics in EVERYTHING that happens around us. Especially in our court system and how it affects our daily lives. You’re the perfect useful idiot. Just walking around oblivious to the world.
