Are you ****ing serious?!?!?!? $20,000 a ****ing month in ad expenditures to become the predominant advertiser on the Bears' ****ing flagship station in order to align your entire multi-million-dollar-a-year operation with an NFL franchise, and you give me this "small beans" shit?!?!?
Tribute to his grandmother, I don't remember reading. However, I think if that was the case, there should be a little propriety there. There's most likely Bengals fans working in the Steel city. Chiefs fans working in the Mile High city, etc. EVERY city has rival fans working for a company, and that company most likely shells out at least a portion of their money in support of that state team. What are we going to do next? Ban any rival colors one can wear in a team's city? Come on, Neo...
I can't believe, as a conservative, that you're making this argument. I'm honestly stunned by your obtuseness.
Hang on a minute:
1. That's that. Sometimes we're all a bit dense. Especially in the opinions of others. I never claimed to always be 100% insightful on every subject.
2. I also never ever claimed to be died in the wool conservative. I in fact, have claimed, and still claim to be independent leaning more conservative. Just wanted to clear that up.
It isn't about trying to sell a car to a die-hard Bear fan, Rev, it's called "branding." It'd be like an employee of Bud Light - THE OFFICIAL BEER OF THE NFL, showing up to work in a ****ing Miller Lite t-shirt, then bitching all over the press about how his "freedom of expression" was somehow being violated when he gets shitcanned over it!!!!
Not exactly. Somewhat, but not exactly. In your example, we're talking about unequivocally showing a lack of respect for the company. In this example, (if true) we're talking about a tribute to one's grandmother. I'm not sure there was any intentional "**** you." there at all, actually. Bottom line though...I would not have done this at all. It was indeed kind of a bonehead move, and it cost him his job. Unfairly in my view, but there you have it.
