Sport provides us with a vibrant window to reflect on some of the ethical decisions we make in business. A moment filled with ethical issues is the decision on who to hire. There are certainly legal lines to consider, but what about short of those legal lines and the decisions we make because we feel this man or woman can do the job regardless of "background" issues. The law can make some of those issues easy for us, but what about those issues where the law is silent or poses no constraints?
