Don't be a chicken . Skipping work/practice to do whatever, whether it's playing golf or partying or jacking off or having sex or sleeping, or watching Netflix, etc. is simply not working and therefore bad performance and of course the employee should be terminated if they are not performing. Nobody is saying Beasley shouldn't be terminated if he suddenly started skipping practices or stopped catching the ball or became ineffective in the NFL offense in any case. But the decision to not have their body invaded by a politically controversial needle injection is NOT mutually exclusive with positive work performance, and YOU KNOW IT.
