[snake212]

he better apologize! Playing golf!? He might as well been participating in bull fighting!

[Rob94]

whoa what? This dude was fired for playing golf?

[clutchless]

In other news, Motoconcept Racing is broke...

[Tha Breeze]

He got fired for playing golf while he is out on injury? Wow just because you can play a little golf doesn't mean you can race... Or was the team manager thinking he could get hurt again playing golf?

I suspect this is the real problem...

[IKE607]

I would say so. Looks like they were just trying to find a reason to not pay him for the rest of the year, and it is apparent that Coisy might understand that too since he has a lawyer involved in the situation.

Racing is expensive.

[scottp111]

It didn't sound much like an apology to me. Other than containing the word "apologize"

Sounds more like a public steatment of I'm comming to get you.

He couldn't race because he injured his shoulder supposedly, but he was ok to play golf? It may sound petty but if I'm paying someone to rehab from a shoulder injury so they can get back on the bike and said racer is out golfing with his wife, I would fire him as well. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

I think he is an idiot playing golf when he injured his shoulder joint, golf puts crazy stresses on an injured shoulder. I also think that firing him is extreme, unless the team is broke, I think monetary punishment is more in line.

The NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, etc... players get fined big bucks all of the time for doing stupid shit.

I think Makita/Suzuki has an opening!

MAX!!!

Yep I agree unless it was part of his rehab then he opened himself up to it. If I was on a workman's comp claim and got busted playing a round I'm sure they would have a nice fraud charge waiting for me.

[motoxhead]

Firing seems in order to me. He could just as easily be charged with fraud if moto concepts insurance company has anything to say about it.

Ditto. It's sorta like "calling in sick" and going to the beach to sunbath and drink margaritas all day... wait, I do that all the time. I should be fired!

[KMKeller]

He had a separated shoulder and was playing golf... Bad mojo that! If he could play golf, he could ride.

[SMITH201]

Any shoulder injury, especially one from keeping you do your job, you should NOT be playing golf! like someone else here said, golf puts alot of stress on your shoulders. Ive even played golf before and a freind who was heathly and in shape injured his rotator cuff on a swing one time.

If the teams budget wasnt in jeopardy then he probably would have just got a slap on the wrist, but with the state of their financial situation it was an oppertunity to cut cost.

[ruddell07]

Its been 8 years since my last bad crash on a bike, resulting in a seperated shoulder and broken collar bone. I try and play golf once a week in the summer, and every time I play my shoulder is sore as hell for a couple days after...8 years later! I suspect that the team might be hurting for money, but this was a stupid move on his part. So I'd say the real reason he got fired is for being a dumbass.

[Superbike Mike]

He was wrong, but they probly had a P.I. following him around hoping he would do something something. Contracted ended and the team is off the hook! He shoulda noticed the guy with the Detriot hat, bushy moustashe and tight shorts in the bushes!

What do you call a quarter pounder in France?

see ya!!!!!
