Never passed the smell test that a)the jacket was "stolen", b)a 24 yr employee was fired so quickly, c)the rumors emerging of "issues" between players and Shuman and now the Security Chief whose jacket was supposedly "stolen" is resigning. Also think it is odd in GSW land their physical performance/PT guru is de-camping for Atlanta for what has been reported as essentially the same job.

Here's so...Rich, can't wait for your story. Here's something to think about, though I will admit it's 100% speculation.<br /><br />Ralph Walker, the Warriors head of security who owned the jacket, "retired" yesterday, saying he wants to spend more time with his family. <br /><br />The phrase "wants to spend more time with family" in a press release usually means the guy was fired and doesn't have another job lined up. PR people have been using that line for years.<br /><br />Let's say Shumann was railroaded. I'm waiting for your evidence, but assuming that is true ...<br /><br />When he leaves ABC7, he gets some money in exchange for signing a separation agreement. The agreement probably says that both he and the station will keep silent about the reason why he's been canned. And by signing the agreement, Shumann promises not to sue ABC7, Disney or anybody who works there. <br /><br />OK, but what about the Warriors? If Shumann was railroaded, it was probably because of pressure by the Warriors. That is what lawyers call "tortious interference," meddling in somebody else's contractual relationship. <br /><br />So maybe Shumann doesn't sue ABC7/Disney and instead goes after the Warriors for interfering with his employment contract?<br /><br />For the Warriors, this could be a nightmare. First, they've got deep pockets to protect -- Lacob and Gruber are billionaires. And Shumann has potentially big damages -- loss of a job, loss of reputation, etc.<br /><br />If he sues, he's entitled to discovery, which means he gets everything the Warriors have on this incident -- emails, texts, notes by investigators, etc. Imagine if there were racist comments made against Shumann by highly paid Warriors employees of a different race? That could end the Warriors goodwill in a hurry. This could get ugly and expensive for the Warriors.<br /><br />Now what if the Warriors have already figured out that Shumann is probably going to sue them. So they already started an investigation by outside counsel. And what if they found old Ralphie boy had done something horrible to frame Shumann? Well, they can't sit on that information and not discipline him. That would look bad at trial. So they move quickly to show Ralph the door, enabling him to spend more time with his family of course.<br /><br />As I said, this is all speculation. But if this goes to court, I don't think the defendant will be ABC7/Disney. I think the defendant will be the Warriors.<br /><br />Oh, one more thing that discovery might clear up -- who leaked the tape to the media initially, just hours after it happened? Was it somebody on the Warriors who wanted to frame Shumann (again, assuming he was railroaded and not a kleptomaniac)? What did the journalist who got the video exchange for that scoop? All that kind of stuff will come out during discovery. It won't be pretty for the Warriors.<br /><br />My guess is that Shumann can easily find any number of good lawyers who will do this case on a contingent fee basis.

Over the weekend while arriving to some tennis courts with my wife, I noticed a $250 Wilson Pro Staff racket laying by one of the nets. I went to pick it up...and immediately started looking around for the owner. I didn't stash it in my bag--I physically started looking around...first by scanning the other courts, and then walking around with it, hoping someone would see it. As I walked by the parking lot, a lady came bolting out of her car (a Porsche) and ran towards me. SHe was SO GRATEFUL that I found it (she left it, she said, because she was on her iPhone while walking away from the court).<br /><br />On the video, Shu didn't look like he made any effort to look around. He casually stuffed the jacket in his duffle bag...and walked out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-10917323301923897552018-07-10T20:01:29.721-07:002018-07-10T20:01:29.721-07:00Interesting development today: AP reports that War...Interesting development today: AP reports that Warriors security chief Ralph Walker (who owned the jacket Shumann is accused of taking) left the team today to “spend more time with his family.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-66942769957526670112018-07-10T18:32:11.360-07:002018-07-10T18:32:11.360-07:00Fair enough, I give you credit for showing my post...Fair enough, I give you credit for showing my post and your reply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-75470787445539114732018-07-10T18:27:25.874-07:002018-07-10T18:27:25.874-07:00Rich,
