I think his career is very unlikely to be over, assuming he stays out of jail.

I think his career is very unlikely to be over, assuming he stays out of jail.

- GCA10 9y agoIf you've ever held an influential job -- even briefly -- with the No. 1 player in a big industry, there's always someone farther down the pyramid that is willing to give you a second chance, third chance, etc. No matter what got you fired. Think of it from the standpoint of a small-company CEO, on the margins, trying to get traction any way possible. Yes, 90% of them won't want to hire you -- at least on 90% of the days that they come to work. But inevitably, one of them will say: "Let's give it a try." They need brainpower. They need people who have played in the big leagues. And the notion of taking a risk on someone that their archrivals have discarded ... with at least the faint possibility of making it work ... is very hard to resist.

- aurelianito 9y agoAre you talking about the Dennis Rodman that worked for the Detroit Pistons and then got a second chance with the Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls?
- GCA10 9y agoYes indeed.
- yeukhon 9y agoBut hiring him makes a PR concern.
- djtriptych 9y agoI don't think he's been charged with or even suspected of a crime.
