I know that sports aren't exactly like real jobs, but even so… ESPN.com reports that M.L.B. is suspending and fining a number of baseball players for arguments and bumping
referees. After yelling at an employer once, I was let go three weeks later. These guys are ticked that they face any discipline at all. Were I to get physical in any way, I'd probably be summarily canned and maybe have the police called. Just goes to show you what a different world athletes live in.
