I'm not saying he doesn't support them but it's doubtful these are words "from his own heart". For those encouraging him to sue, he has no grounds as I'm confident he was fired for just cause under the terms of his contract.

If you want to do something extra-curricular, you have to ask permission. And it isn't just about time off, it's also the nature of what you're going to do.

Too often you see mealy-mouthed "apologies" that are really nothing of the kind.
