    It depends how his contract reads. There might be a clause around conduct that brings discredit to the organisation being grounds for dismissal. Ordinarily i'd agree with your point. What you do outside of work time (IMO even if that is criminal) should have no bearing on your employment unless you're either incarcerated or there's a direct contingency to your job. In this instance there probably is a direct contingency to the job. Kent strays away from on field NRL matters into judgement about off field player behaviour. He now has a 4 minute video of himself online showing he has no credibility when passing judgement. Credibility is a contingent element in his job as an opinion based "journalist." The video will diminish him in the eyes of those who view it, thereby damaging the program on which he's a panellist.
