"Pathetic" is actually a really good word to use in this situation, because its root is the greek word "pathos", which is known today as a type of persuasion where you rely on emotion.

People only look at the headline. They see a person fired without a specified reason. It seems like it should be easy to see something happening is unfair.

But this sort of thing is rarely that simple.
