    Companies like this pay good money to labour lawyers to ensure they don't get successfully sued. His current life just went schplat.

    Most firings are job/performance related, I wonder without a charge being filed if this is a big wrongfully dismissal waiting to happen. If a Union is involved it has the chance to get even more complicated, especially if the guy files a grievance. This is very interesting on so many levels.

    If you don't have the capacity to make the argument yourself, then don't even bother appealing to authority. Tim Leiweke's at that. TFC should be embarrassed for their results, not a shit head fan and his so-called entourage.

    After seeing everyone who has been involved to various levels and what we know, have seen and so on, the guy in the glasses in my view maybe should get off with nothing as he did not make the initial remark, never actually said anything lewd at anyone and by the end of just walked off. He was smug but other than that really did not do anything.

    I'm really pissed this happened with him wearing a TFC shirt, it's embarrassing and shameful - yes, he's an idiot - but him wearing the jersey means it also reflects on the club and the fans...I hope MLSE finds a way to or stage something to address this apart from bans.

    The fact that this is 2015 and Hydro One more capitalizing on an opportunity to ring in some "good PR" as opposed to doing the right thing makes this a tad ridiculous. Not saying what the moron did was OK but would Hydro One have cared had this thing not been given the attention it has?

    Yes, you can if they signed off on a code of conduct.

    The incident went viral. it got out that he worked for that pseudo crown corporation. Their HR department had little choice.

    If he was under contract(not union) I'm sure that there is a termination clause.
    He'll probably get some severance pay but good luck finding another job in same field with all this bad publicity.

    CB Kurt Larson is a person. He takes credit and accountability for what he writes. He's not anonymous.

    Wow, you can get fired from saying something stupid outside of work on your own private time? Talk about being harsh! But then again, Hydro One is on sale so it doesn't really matter when private companies end up buy majority of Hydro One shares and bring their own people.

    Overall, this got way out of hand and MLSE needs to STFU when comes to morality when they themselves have screwed and lied to this fanbase so many times in the past. Banning idiots for life or even a year (lol) doesn't make you "good guy" and make it a right thing to do. They should haven't gotten involved and let this story die down like they did when Maple Leafs fan did same thing on CP24 in few months ago.

    As for media, they're one of biggest scumbags you can find in our society. They will do anything for a story, so it's wise to ignore them and avoid dealing with them as much as possible.

    I was just asking, had no really idea on how the such term was used, really there is a V-Cup Semi-Final tomorrow night.

    apart from the bans and the written statement that came along with it, I don't think MLSE need to do anything more. doing so would give the issue more attention than it warrants, and atm it does just enough to say that this behavior is in no way tolerable or indicative of the club's standard's of behavior and conduct. It says these people do not represent us and others who follow their suit aren't welcome as part of this club. Not much more needs to be said on the matter from MLSE or the Club's point of view.

    Yes cause ignoring it would have gone over really well.

    And then we'd be spending most of today having the whole team and all of us pilloried as against 3-5 fools.

    I'm assuming the employee isn't unionised as his union would be all over this and no chance of a firing. Either way he would still have a good case of wrongful dismissal if he got an employment lawyer.

    So was it the guy who actually said it and walked off? Or one of the guys who defended it on camera?

    Absolutely - since the link has been made, it would reflect poorly on the company if they kept him employed. It's usually the first thing that happens when things like this go viral.

    EDIT: I'm not sure which which guy from the video this happened to.
    Toronto 'til I die - but I think they're trying to kill me.

    You think banning couple of idiots going to stop people doing this?

    If they felt so strongly about this, then how come they didn't ban a Maple Leafs fan who did same thing on their property (Maple Leaf square)?

    MLSE just taking advantage of this situation for own personal gain (good PR).

    Hard to work with women once you are seen to do this. Creates a lousy atmosphere and gets in the way of the reason you are there, to do whatever the company does.

    i.e. They don't need him. He made himself an issue. So, yes, its his fault.

    It was not the guy who actually said it, he made the follow up remark.
