We sports fans are a crazy bunch, that's for certain. Fired over a tie? Isn't that taking things a bit to far? John Stone was fired yesterday from a Chicago area car dealership.
Seems when Stone showed up to work Monday morning sporting a Green Bay Packer tie he was violating company policy. Granted he is in the Chicago area and his dealership had been running promotions involving the Chicago Bears but firing him over a tie seems a bit much even for sports fans.
I have no doubt in my mind, such as it is:}that Mr. Stone is not the innocent he proclaims. He knew his dealership was pro Chicago Bears and that wearing a Green Bay Packer tie would ruffle some feathers. His justification that he wore the tie to remember his late grand mother does hold some substance. When he was asked or told as the case might be to remove the tie, common sense says remove the tie.
Firing the man, to me that sounds a bit over the top. He was insubordinate for refusing to remove the tie and get back to work. Seems to me sending him for a day would have been an adequate form of discipline.
The game is over and the post game drama continues, one guy is fired for wearing a tie. The newest on Jay Cutler is he walked up stairs to a private dining area after the game, making him more suspect for being a quitter.
To me it appears some fans are just taking it to far. Thats my take what is yours?
