They fired him for being bad

If he was undefeated he would still have his job

I remember somebody on here saying that he'd probably sue back when he got fired.
But USC can play the behavior card. I'm sure he had some clause in his contract not to embarrass the university

In order to win a lawsuit for a disability you have to prove that the disability was the sole reason for the termination. They can easily point to the record and say they fired him cause they were losing. He's wasting his money and his lawyer is being greedy by even taking this case.

Makes me wonder the terms of his firing though. Did they pay out his contract, our did they get on that Al Davis steeze? :patrice:

They can do that, but that doesn't mean a jury or judge will believe them. Circumstantial evidence is huge in discrimination cases because there is almost never direct evidence - you never see an e-mail that says "Let's fire this dude cause he's in a wheelchair." Here, Haden's own sheer incompetence generated plenty of evidence for Sark's side to use, especially with respect to the timing of when he was fired, it coming just a day after putting him on leave to take care of his issues, etc.
