I think he was emboldened by the insensitive example set by Ted and Jane pantomiming an Indian committing brutal murder. The owners would have been within their rights to have disciplined him more severely, since the remarks were inflammatory and tended to harm the image of baseball generally, and the Braves in particular.

Agreed. The fact is, strictly ignoring moral issues, one would probably be wise to fire this fellow as a matter of business. Minorities or homosexuals are not likely to desire playing with him, and in fact may take every opportunity they could to destroy him. So were they part of my organisation I would wonder if Rocker could help foster what I would think should be cohesive circumstances. I would probably fire him without additional thought. Whatever the case I find pro-Rocker folk quite off their rocker, making illogical comparisons to justify support for this stupid kid. "Free Rocker?" No one imprisons him. Apparently his superiors have occupational standards and want that he adheres to them. If he does not want to adhere to them, he may leave his post and continue onward, his constitutional rights intact however he chooses. "Ted Turner?" Turner has insulted virtually every Christian on the planet, yet he cannot be compared to Rocker. His superiors did not demand he see a shrink because they are generally a bunch of morons. You see, the public is Turner's superior, and so whatever he says about a subset of it will not much matter because it is such a slave to the drug he peddles. Let's face it. If some guy works for me and publicly says stuff I do not like, I am going to nail his little butt, particularly if his speech refers to me or mine. If one talks harshly about another, one must be willing to pay whatever price results of it. It has nothing to do with being PC or anything of the sort. It has everything to do with the facts of life-- facts Rocker supporters apparently have yet to learn. Goodnight.
