Why I don't think it was right to sack Richard Scudamore: http://www.pcpro.co.uk/blogs/2014/05/21/your-right-to-a-private-life-extends-to-your-email/ …
@Sweder I think the principle of privacy - no matter how uncomfortable the circumstances involved - is worth defending.

@bazzacollins This is not about privacy though, is it. It's about WHAT he wrote and how that reflects on his views/attitude, no? -
@wolfl It was private correspondence. If he'd tweeted it or put it on Facebook, I'd absolutely agree he should be sacked. -
@bazzacollins If I was his employer I would think he is not fit for his job, based on his views. Private or public doesn't matter. -
@wolfl Then where would you draw the line? Anything he utters in any situation should have a bearing on his employment? -
@bazzacollins Let me turn this around. Would you employ someone when you knew his views are incompatible with their position? -
@wolfl I wouldn't delve into personal correspondence to form a basis on whether I would employ someone in the first instance. -
@bazzacollins No, the point is that the information is out now! It doesn't matter any more how it was obtained. It is about what he said. -
@wolfl I strongly disagree. That's why only evidence obtained legitimately is admissable in court cases. There have to be some principles. - 3 more replies

@bazzacollins I agree re privacy but it’s tough to ignore once in the public domain. -
@Sweder I know what you mean, but that's rather having your cake and eating it. If it's wrong his priv was invaded, it's wrong to sack him. -
@bazzacollins it’s arguable that his privacy was invaded. He used a work-accessed account. The man’s an idiot as well as a misogynist
