I've just been following this thread, wondering how people don't realize that in 2019 you can conduct your business from Switzerland just as well as you can in Cincinnati. 

When i first read the story, my knee jerk reaction was, "typical Bengals". After than 5 second delay, i realized that technology means you don't need to be sitting at your desk to do your job. I'm sure they were only a phone call/facetime/video conference/conference call away. Laptops would have all the information on it she would need as well as a way to remote into her workstation at the stadium if necessary. 

This thread is much ado about nothing. 

That makes sense, but at the same time I can see why regular folk are getting upset about this...mostly because we view the Bengals and their FO as underachieving and when you underachieve you tend to lose privileges to conduct work from another country whilst on vacation.  It's similar to Joe Lunchpail calling in to complain about spoiled athletes who makes zillions "playing a game" being able to demand trades and do other me-first stuff.  We can't do that, so we stomp our feet and say "No fair!" as if life should be fair.


It also reminds me of one of my friends and his brother, who both work for their ol' man, giving me a hard time for not taking a day off of work to go along on some sort of this and that with them.  After trying to brush it off for a while I just shrugged and said "I don't work for my dad, guys!"  Anyways, would it be too morbid to joke about it being a shame Mike Brown wasn't skiing too and something something Sonny Bono?

Maybe nothing...it's hard to say.  The NFL is an oligopoly and the teams/brands and owners are united and connected so I wouldn't say it's impossible to think the NFL might intervene if they can show a league-damaging amount of apathy from Mike Brown.  If the NFL can stop Trump from buying the Bills they can probably do something about an owner coasting for decades at a time.  Never say never, I guess.
