  1. Neither can Warren Buffett. Perhaps it would be unethical for you to manage money. Doesn’t mean that tag should apply to others.
  2. Sounds more like motivation than ethics.
  3. Funny, I work for a firm which manages billions on behalf of public and private pensions, endowments and family offices. Often in collaboration with other asset managers. Neither I, my colleagues or clients find anything unethical about it. It also requires a lot of mutual trust and respect. But you do you.
  4. So you trade your own account and don’t manage others’ money.
  5. Yes I can. I trust lots of peoples’ word on many matters without “proof”. In my business it would be impossible to transact if one had to re-diligence every element of a transaction. What do you do for a living? You might consider finding new co-workers.
  6. Why shouldn’t I trust CDC to do the right thing? Do you follow and diligence every criminal and civil case before making a call on who to believe? Did you you a thorough investigation in this caseP Please share your findings.
  7. I don’t “know” but the evidence published suggests he did. I probably would have fired him even though I liked him as a coach. I guess I’m “political” in your echo chamber. But the university did far more work and I trust their judgment on the matter. I get it, you don’t trust them, you choose to believe Beard. But if he was truly innocent I can’t imagine why there’s not an active wrongful termination suit going. Seems like slam dunk since the girlfriend recanted and all. (That was sarcasm, ace.)
  8. As many times as you provide a “brilliant” response, ace. And look who’s now asking to prove a negative. Oh, the irony! I don’t think it’s political as I’ve seen similar things happen in the private sector. A guy in our community shoved his wife and she hit her head. She called the cops and charged him. He got fired by his hedge fund when it showed up in the local police blotter - even when she chose not to follow through with charges. Turns out she got a really favorable divorce settlement. Coincidence? Point is, there a lot of similarities here, regardless of politics. And you don’t “know” if there were politics at work any more than you don’t “know” what the university’s investigation unconverted.
  9. And yet you chose to politicize the issue. Brilliant! And you, of all people, don’t know that the AD and administration learned in their investigation. So don’t pretend you do.
  10. Much like a civil jury an employer can look at the evidence and not be bound by “beyond a reasonable doubt”. When a woman leaves a panicked 911 call, has visible marks on her neck and demands an arrest that’s enough for an employer to make a call - despite her decision to retract after her attorneys reached an agreement with Beard. Just like a civil jury will often find a perpetrator guilty while a criminal jury may not.
  11. And your point? Employers are not held to the same legal standards as criminal courts. But you know that, right?
  12. You were trying to associate intolerance for domestic violence with a political agenda. Keep up the good work.
  13. Went you equate a reaction to a domestic violence arrest to a political agenda that’s an analogy.. Do you think?
  14. But you made a political analogy. Brilliant!
  15. I don’t see this as a political issue. Sadly, whacked out extremists on both ends of the spectrum tend to turn everything they can into one. So sad.
  16. So ok for you to make judgments. Gotcha. And I have no clue on the moral superiority of other coaches. Then again, that’s not the issue at hand. But I appreciate those who keep their names out of the police blotter for choking their girlfriends.
  17. You seem to be casting “judgement” that Brard should be retained.
  18. You seem to be trusting Beard. Try harder.
  19. I trust our AD’s and administration’s judgement on the matter over yours. That’s for sure. You seem to have a “he wins basketball games, let’s look the other way” attitude here. That may work at Ole Miss or other **** schools in third world states, but not here.
  20. Employers are not subject to the same burden of evidence as criminal courts. Are you that dense or just being obtuse?
