James Hird Case Analysis
By Sean Doughty
Oral Task
Contention: James Hird has done wrong by both the game and his team, by not only supporting a program which goes against a code of the AFL’s official rules, but by also exposing his team to unsafe and untested drugs without the assistance of medical professionals on all occasions. While James Hird has done wrong by the game he has also opened a new gateway to the future of sport.
Points
James Hird should accept responsibility for putting his players at risk.
James Hird is protected by his hero status with the football club, however if it were anyone else they would’ve been kicked out of the game for life.
He has been given a million dollar lump sum for his time away from coaching, and his job has been secured at the club for his return.
He kept the practises away from the medical expert, Bruce Reid, whom protested that the program was clinically unsafe.
The club had “a culture of frequent, uninformed and unregulated use of the injection of supplements,” according to the ASADA interim report. We know dubious sources were involved, and some injections were administered in unsterile conditions without a medical professional.
James Hird had a paid for trip to france in which he had a business course, he could use this to his advantage to change careers.
Counter Points:
Hird has been a scape goat …show more content…
A few other cases of the AFL either bullying or buying out people and teams have been mentioned, these included a scandal at Melbourne football club and another scandal at the hawthorn football club. Tania Hird also claimed that the CEO of the AFL Andrew Demetriou tipped off the club that they were suspected of using performance enhancing

    Hae Min Lee Case Analysis

    Adnan Syed perceived as a murderer and a menace , is he really to blame for the death of Hae Min Lee? It’s believable that the Baltimore Police Department had no idea who really killed Hae Min Lee therefore they jumped at the first lead they received . In all honesty what police department would like a murder case to be left unsolved,the answer is none. It not only looks bad on the police department but shows faults within the justice system of Massachusetts and their failing to solve the case. To conclude it’s believable that Adnan Syed is in fact not guilty of the murder of Hae Min Lee but is being perceived as guilty by others who testify against him.…

    Joseph P. Bradley's Case Analysis

    Frederick Douglass called the Supreme Court’s decision on the 1883 Civil Rights Cases “a concession to race pride, selfishness and meanness that will be received with joy by every upholder of caste in the land”. These cases all involved black patrons denied service at hotels, theaters and train cars suing on the grounds that racial discrimination by such institutions was prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1875. In Justice Joseph P. Bradley’s majority opinion, he argued that this act, which allowed Congress to forbid racial discrimination by businesses of a private nature, was unconstitutional, as the Fourteenth Amendment only endowed states with this power. Although Bradley was known for his support of federal supremacy during his time at…

    Mr. Jamison's Case Summary

    The wisest, most ethical option to be found is to choose to investigate further to see if conceiving a child was Mr. Jamison’s plan. This third option from the stakeholders chart is the most ethical resolution to the central ethical issue not only because much of the research relates back to accumulating further knowledge of Mr. Jamison’s opinion of the procedure, but also because both the act utilitarianism theory and the virtue ethics theory confirm that the third option would be the wisest to utilize in finding if the hospital ethics committee should allow the postmortem sperm procedure without the consent of Mr. Jamison. Overall, based off of analysis of the research, the highest net unity accounted for, and the virtues of the situation…

    Salary Cap Breach Case Study

    The purpose of this essay is to analyse the ethics of the Melbourne Storm NRL Club’s salary breach with reference to the management literature on business ethics. This essay will look at three separate articles discussing business ethics and then link the information found on ethical decision making towards the Melbourne Storm salary breach scandal. The first article will discuss networking and its link to business, with reference to the three types of networking and specific unethical behaviour in networking. The second article will look at the theory of planned behaviour and discuss what widespread unethical behaviour is and how closeness centrality can lead to it. The final article argues that culture plays a predominant role in ethical decision making and links individualism and collectivism to the case.

This "wonder drug", which is not really a drug, but a natural occurring substance in the human body is called Creatine Monohydrate. This substance was used in the NFL until 2 years ago when the governing board of the NFL ruled that Creatine is a steroid type substance that gives the athlete using it a substantial edge in quickness, strength, and endurance over the players who choose not to use it.

    Case Analysis of Bob Knowlton

    Bob Knowlton was sitting alone in the conference room of the laboratory. The rest of the group had gone. One of the secretaries had stopped and talked for a while about her husband's coming induction into the Army, and had finally left. Bob, alone in the laboratory, slid a little further down in his chair, looking with satisfaction at the results of the first test run of the new photon unit. He liked to stay after the others had gone. His appointment as project head was still new enough to give him a deep sense of pleasure. His eyes were on the graphs before him, but in his mind he could hear Dr. Jerrold, the head of the laboratory, saying again, "There's one thing about this place that you can bank on. The sky is the limit for the person who can produce!" Knowlton felt again the tingle of happiness and embarrassment. Well, dammit, he said to himself, he had produced. He wasn't kidding anybody. He had come to the Simmons Laboratories 2 years ago. During a routine testing of some rejected Clanson components, he had stumbled onto the idea of the photon correlator, and the rest had just happened. Jerrold had been enthusiastic; a separate project had been set up for further research and development of the device, and he had gotten the job of running it. The whole sequence of events still seemed a little miraculous to Knowlton. He shrugged out of the reverie and bent determinedly over the sheets when he heard someone come into the room behind him. He looked up expectantly; Jerrold often stayed late himself, and now and then dropped in for a chat. This always made the day's end especially pleasant for Bob. It wasn't Jerrold. The man who had come in was a stranger. He was tall, thin, and rather dark. He wore steel-rimmed glasses and had on a very wide leather belt with a large brass buckle. His wife remarked later that it was the kind of belt the pilgrims must have worn. The stranger smiled and introduced himself. "I'm Simon Fester. Are you Bob…

    Bob Knowlton Case Analysis

    Introduction Simmons Laboratories are in a difficult situation following Bob Knowlton’s sudden, unanticipated resignation. This paper outlines what Bob Knowlton could have done differently and identifies specific ideas about teams, organizational culture artefacts and underlying assumptions and organizational and personal values that could have resulted in a positive outcome. Question 1 Appreciation for honest dialogue amongst his team would have aided Bob Knowlton in ensuring supportive team norms. Knowlton had concerns from the first night he met Fester, yet he remained silent. He neglected to be open and honest with his team and with Jerrold, his boss. Knowlton could have demonstrated honest dialogue without personal affront when Fester commented on team ideas, satirically describing how they led to a “high level of mediocrity.” By not addressing Fester’s comment, Knowlton placed Simmons Laboratories theory of “small research teams being the basic organization for effective research” at risk. Knowlton could have stated Simmons Laboratories theory of small research to Fester in confidence after the meeting. By doing so, Knowlton would have increased common understanding and in a non offensive way informed him of Simmons Laboratories underlying theory, as lead by Dr. Jerrold. Knowlton could have actively managed the conflict that was occurring within his team rather than exercising avoidance or withdrawal from the situation. By avoiding the conflict team members were experiencing he may have increased frustration for all team members. Avoidance ultimately led to the leadership of the group being taken over from Knowlton by Fester. Fester could have used a collaborative approach to deal with team conflict which would have shown respect for existing team members and given them the opportunity to openly discuss the issues arising since Fester joined the team. Although Knowlton did privately discuss the matter with two…
