On Christmas Eve I flipped on to channel 38,
I did not find joy, nor Elima-Date.
Rather I watched as ESPN revealed,
That the Chicago Bull's Basketball coach disappeared.
Not literally but instead he was fired,
On Christmas even FIRED not HIRED!
Should things like this matter in the scheme of life?
Is it an insult, or just like any other day when he goes home and tells his wife?
They revealed that layoffs on New Years Day and Thanksgiving were not too rare,
But then again is life fair?
So to those who are strongly against lay-offs on "special" days,
Is there a solution or different ways?
Or should it not matter like the coach said for it is all sad,
Getting fired on any day is just as bad!

I guess firing Scott Skiles (Bull's head coach) on Christmas was a little mean, but the guy lead the Bulls to a 9-16 record so far and the team looked nothing like the 49-33 team that went to the conference semi-finals last year. Skiles just wasn't getting it done in the Windy City. So really, I don't think that it matters that he was fired on Christmas Day, although it is still a little unpleasant. He was going to get fired regardless so if he wasn't fired on Christmas, he would probably be the next day.
Although basketball is a game that is played by a lot of people for fun, these NBA teams are business organizations just like any other organization out there. An NBA team wants to win, but behind winning is making money. So, the Bulls firing their coach was just business. I don't think the Bulls planned to fire the coach on Christmas, that is just how it happened. That just happened to be the day that the Bulls decided a change needed to be made for their team to start being successful. It would have been nice to fire the coach on another day, but business is business.
thats a horrible poem
I can accept this happening in an organization where every day(or game in this case) can matter. A sports team that plays almost every other day would have a big difference firing their coach on Christmas, or the next day, which is when the Bulls had a game. In other organizations, I think it would be better to wait and not just be plain cruel.
ESPN also showed (during SportsCenter) a list of everyone that worked their, which was kind of nice to their workers. Except it took about 20 minutes, and of course none of the job titles made any sense.
