The article and references does not describe any injury from the coffee. Not from the football player’s account, nor from any medical treatment. College isn’t a workplace. And even in a workplace it depends on the circumstances. In my workplace, super regulated, if a third party claimed that someone threw coffee on someone else, no one is getting fired that day. And if they were then it would be a pretty huge wrongful termination lawsuit. The only thing that gets you “out on your ass” is if you are an immediate threat to others. So maybe if it was scalding coffee that resulted in hospitalization and the person was still on the loose throwing coffee. But like someone else said, throwing coffee is a crime. Let the police do their job. We don’t need extra judicial investigations for reasons.
