It's a pattern. It's not the incident in a vacuum. If this was the first incident, he'd probably talk to management and they'd be like "what are you doing? This is why what you did was stupid. Don't do this again." It's everything in addition to this and most of all, having to step away from the team, doing an interview acknowledging he fukked up, seeing what all this dumb shyt already cost him, swearing he's tryna take the steps to get his shyt together only to prove that he didn't learn a damn thing. That's a big reason why most people don't feel sorry for him even if they still want him to get right.
It would be like wanting help for an alcohol problem, getting help and then three weeks after getting help, you're caught at a bar. Even if you didn't drink, it shows poor judgment and it's gonna lead everyone to believe that inevitably you're gonna keep fukking up.
Bad optics is all you need to reconsider shyt.
