Former Dolphins scout threatening to sue the team after contract not renewed

as well as recent homophobic tweets

HOMOPHOBIC. i dont think there is a dumber word in the universe. complete and utter NONSENSE!! so nice all these people get to come up with these little words that they can use at any time to strike fear into the public and cause people to lose their jobs.

and it appears like like this goofus who is using his wifes ailments to stay home is going to use it and every other thing he and attorney can come up with to soil the team and collect HUGE bucks? by the time this gets to court i imagine he will have included poor work environment because the floor is covered in gum wrappers [as he cites philbin making the players pick up the wrappers, even he sees it].

older age has not been good to me. i have diabetes which gave me debilitating diabetic nerve pain. lupus [thanks mom!] which causes me awful bouts of inflamation sun sickness which really aggravates my COPD, caused from all the trash i pumped through my lungs as a young buck. i also, like this guys wife, have p/n. it sucks, your legs get puffy and discolored but you do NOT need anyone at home for that!! i get blood clots in my legs and lungs and have to take blood thinners the rest of my life, ALL the veins in my leggs are shreded so i have some experience with all this.

hickey doesnt appear to be a calloused guy. but you can bet he saw this guy milking his work at home and ran him. i feel for his wife. i am sure hickey and the team does also. but, there is a job to be done that HE signed on to do!! you can not do a lot of QUALITY SCOUTING from your couch. there are many, many, many folks out there with sick family members. and they feel they need to do more at home, they should seek other employment that allows them to do so. every company has by laws in the employee handbook about what they expect as far as time in the shop.

obviously, this guy was milking it. spending to much time at home and not with his job on the road or at the facility. i would say he doesnt have a prayer in this but we are now living in the age of the whiner, the slacker and he will land a liberal judge who HATES football as its a metaphor for violence in society and the dominance of the males over the female species proven by cheerleaders on the sideline where they are forced to be fixated on the male dominant violence to keep them in a mind state of being oppressed and hopeless. and he will win.

and jonathon martins mom will make a HUGE payday for defending this d-bag.
 
If this lawsuit goes through then Ross has to fire Hickey ASAP! Hickey opened up the organization up to a lawsuit with his actions, that can't be tolerated.

Same ole Dolphins!
 
So if Hickey's wife gets a deadly disease then Dennis better not be spending his time at home with her either or Ross should fire him.
 
Trust me if a GM said my wife is ill and I can only work from home for the next 10 YEARS he would not keep the job long.

if the GM can't come to work, and has to stay home...he can not work from home, so yes, he would have to be fired or quit. what's your point?
 
It's all about "reasonable" accommodation
I think it's reasonable to demand a scout not
Work from home and if their benefits change,
Well I don't see that as litigation worthy
 
If Sullivan is a really talented scout, he will be snapped up by one of the other 31 teams. Brian Gaine is now in Houston and knows what he brings to the table. Spielman in Minnesota worked with him, etc. 17 years of scouting experience will attract some interest for at least an interview, unless his reputation is pretty bad. Hickey should be an absolute expert in assessing scouts and what he expects them to do. Whatever the excuses proffered, Dennis didn't want him and I'd trust his rationale. This appears to be litigation to extort a settlement from our billionaire owner. Dawn will handle it.
 
I find it even more interesting that through this statement you seemingly approve of what Saban and Ireland did in this organization. :ponder:

That's really stretching to imply that from that statement...

The Dolphins have a labor lawyer in an executive position. I seriously doubt they didn't consult legal counsel before terminating this employee. It sucks that a man who is taking care of his family was fired, but legally there is nothing wrong with his termination.
 
hes been here for 17 years and we suck, have we been anything but bad in his time as a scout? time to get new people.
 
So, near as I can tell, Hickey wasn't okay with his scouting personnel of game tapes not being able to be in the building to go over said reports and game film and have face-to-face conversations. While previous regimes had been okay with it. I've got no problem with Hickey deciding he needs certain things to be a certain way to get his job done and help the team be successful. The scout, instead of being grateful to the team for paying him for over a decade to work from home, decides he's going to sue the team because his wife's medication is too expensive and through his lawyer uses the whole Jonathan Martin BS as his reasoning for a lawsuit.

A. The scouts a dick for not accepting his new boss has new rules and thinking he's so f'n special that the world should revolve around his needs and not the company's.
B. The scout and/or his lawyer are both dicks for bringing up anything to do with the Jonathan Martin situation because....HE WASN"T EVEN F'N there! He was at home in his f'n pajamas! What the F does he care about the Jonathan Martin situation except to set himself up for a lawsuit?
C. As to the cost of your meds and that its not going to be covered under any private plan you can afford or COBRA.....cry me a river and complain to Obama's ass, because of his new f'n rules you get what you get. Don't like it? Vote for politicians who want to get rid of it. Hire a lawyer to sue the government, not your employer. Go stand on a streetcorner with a sign for a politician who doesn't agree with the New World Order. Douche.
