I think that many soccer/football fans act like classless goons as part of their parroted routine. However, this FHITP directed at a decent female reporter just shows what classless imbecile fucktards they really are.
This crosses the line and I think MLSE is well justified in banning these fans from MLSE properties for life. If not to just send a message to other classless louts.
In this age of social media every one of them will be identified and will pay a price for their behaviour.
However, as much as I think it is loathsome and abusive, I can't see how HydroOne can fire this guy for his private activity outside work that he did nothing to identify himself as a Hydro One employee. If he was wearing a HydroONe hat or t-shirt or jacket or if he was a readily identifiable HydroOne public figure, that would be different.
If they fire him for this I think he would have a case for wrongful dismissal... IF he weren't a Union member! LMAO!!! But because he is a union member and his employment contract is a collective agreement, I don't think he has employment law protection, just what the collective agreement provides. Maybe the collective agreement has some good behaviour/morality provision? But I doubt the union will go to the mat with Hydro One or go on strike over this douchebag getting fired.
