ASP CEO steps down following world title miscalculation

Just removed my double-post on this very topic...

Seems a bit rash but I'm sure others feel this was an excellent idea. It's not like the disgraced CEO of a publicly-traded company who presided over mathematical errors or committed a fraud or any number of "real" infractions. This was a relatively harmless human error, and they did scramble to fix it and set the records straight.

There is this saying that if you fix it, it's just an error. If you knew it was wrong and continued without correcting it, it becomes a mistake.

He's clearly not CEO material if he takes responsibility for failures of the organization or fails to negotiate a $20M separation "bonus". Has he learned nothing from AIG, Fannie, Freddie et al?

Seriously, that's a classy move. Unnecessary, but classy.

Guy had 2 weeks post Portugal to get his math straight before start of San Francisco and broadcasting over and over that Slater needed only 2 heats so clinch.

yeh, good one @chad. But who really knows what kind of "golden softop" severance he negotiated with the ASP to safely land on. Disagree, though, with the "unecessary" part. If the sole reason for the previous months' contests is to crown a World Champion at years end, and you blow that moment at the apex of the sport's most important and publicity saturated time, your "walking papers" are called for and necessary.

Plus his name is "Brody". Fireable offense right there.

Brody has a Bachelor of Business degree (Accounting & Banking). That's ironic...or maybe not

I'm hiring him to do my taxes ;-)

@KofK, he skirts the name issue by telling everyone to just call him Bro.

good thing he stepped down i was fixin to occupy that bitch. it was actually a brilliant move . we got to see more killer surfing.
