This reminds of the mindset people have about teachers. The days of untouchable teachers has long been over. Old style "tenure" is a myth today. But it does take management with balls and determination to do the right thing. In many areas, that is lacking.

Same in baseball. If MLB truly wanted to shed an umpire, it can. It has before.

I honestly have no clue if/how MLB can/does replace umpires....I can however gurantee you that there are still tenured professors.
