I'm not defending Asmussen or his record. Just don't see why he should have to step away from his job because a tape surfaced with where one of his employees swore a lot.

Just wanted to say yes I agree, they will whether he is there of not.
That said it's a question of scale.
If he isn't there? Some of these...
... a small but very vocal group of protesters, a bit of coverage.
If he is there though?
Whoa it has the potential to get very ugly very quickly and his mere presence will show anyone who cares to pay attention that the sport, as a whole, does NOTHING when confronted with issues such as this.
Again, I respectfully agree with Danzig's post above.
