The damages would be loss of future income based on a violation of the ADA. It would be violating his medical privacy by stating he was drunk at practice which he every well may have been, but can it be proven? Also, were they to try and hold the money from his contract and say he violated his contract that may be a…

It’s covered under the ADA. Ambulances chase me. That’s how good I am.

That is what’s called a very wide berth. That pertains to DUIs mostly or hurting someone while intoxicated. Committing a crime is not covered under the ADA. Were Mora to go to a UCLA function, get intoxicated, and punch someone he could be fired. He has committed assault. Were he to get a DUI he could be fired for…

I didn’t miss this. Can you prove that it has affected his ability to work? Can you even prove that he was intoxicated at work? Because that’s the standard for termination. Was he given a breathalyzer test? A blood test? Had he just not slept for two days and could barely function? There is plausible deniability.…

Because he has said he has a problem he is acknowledging that he has a problem. Now, if they had previously admonished him for his drunkenness and he refused to seek help, then repeated the same mistake he is then terminable. Once told to seek help by the employer is refused you have essentially waived your ADA…

Also being that I’m a labor lawyer I happen to know a thing or two about this subject. From http://employment-law.freeadvice.com/employment-law… “The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that an employer give reasonable accommodation to an employee who can demonstrate that they are substantially limited in a…

While California is an at will state, that does not mean you can violate someone’s rights. You cannot fire someone for any reason at any time. Individuals have rights. Conduct detrimental to the university because he’s an alcoholic. Taking a leave of absence is one thing, but terminating an individual because of a…

That’s not necessarily true. The ADA says, “Individuals who abuse alcohol may be considered disabled under the ADA if the person is an alcoholic or a recovering alcoholic. Courts have usually held that alcoholism is a covered disability. For example, in Williams v. Widnall, the court flatly stated, without discussion,…

He has a problem and it definitely should be addressed. That being said firing him is a violation of his rights under the ADA. Being an alcoholic, whatever you may think about it is irrelevant, is considered a sickness and therefore covered. He has to be given ample opportunity to go treatement and fix the problem.…

I rarely make sincere comments on here, but I hope he’s ok. That looked horrible.

Question: Is Bryce Harper hitting like Ted Williams in his prime this year?

“Alleged Scientologist Will Smith’s career is in freefall after making ‘Concussion’ a movie that, while better than Wild Wild West, Anchorman 2, After Earth, Seven Pounds, and Hitch, still was found to be too objectionable by the masses of football fans that find Roger Goodell and his ilk inherently likeable.…

I think he’ll probably go back to Cleveland. As a Celtic fan I want him in Boston. The most intriguing spot and maybe best spot would be him in NOLA. A front court of Davis and Love would be interesting and allow Love to shoot outside like he likes to do. Plus with Gentry there the offense could be potentially dynamic…

Lawrence Phillips is a detestable human being, but Tom Osborne covered more crimes than Jerry Orbach. http://www.si.com/vault/1995/09/…

No disagreeing is fine. Reading his previous posts/comments makes me think he’s a racist and an apologist for not only law enforcement but all forms of the white power structure that has permeated the US since its inception. I’m white, male and heterosexual before you insist on anything otherwise. I have no agenda…

I’d rather be a moron than an apologist for the cops. Tell me when you bleach your white sheets do you worry that the emblem will be distorted or does the KKK have a certified authorized dry cleaner?

Boy he must’ve read Greg Howard’s piece. Which by the way was brilliant. http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/the-police-are…

I actually don't think you're better than this Samer. I think you're about this.
