BS for equating Chicago fans with DUmmies.
As for the smug, self-pitying idiot being fired, the Webb Auto Group spends in excess of $20,000 a month on radio advertising on the Bears' flagship station, not to mention the fact that they provide a player or two with free use of their vehicles. He was told to remove the tie, and evidently he neglected to remember who the **** it is that pays him and declined to do so.
Defending this insolent schmuck by calling Bear fans assholes and sore losers is a DUmmy move if ever I saw one.
Shame on you, Rev. 
Alright. Forget the bear fan thing for a second. I'll get back to it. (Well, people in general.) What about the maturity thing? To fire a guy over a sports themed tie? Really. I understand it's the Monday after. I understand the GM was butthurt. I also understand that the GM lays down the rules, but honestly; How mature is one to say "Take off a tie, or you're done." It's not like it said "**** the Bears" on the tie, now is it?
Inevitably, the issue of effecting finances, and how they make money is going to come up. This is where my second point comes in. If a fan of the Bears, a rival to the Packers, or even a person who don't give a damn about sports walks in, sees the tie, and immediately leaves, or complains to beat the band, you may not sell the car. Here's the thing though. If the customer is so petty as to stamp his feet, and whine about a TIE, (as the manager did) chances are, you weren't going to sell to the customer anyway. Or it was at least going to be an extremely hard sell since the guy nitpicks.
Just my opinion, but I see no reason what so ever for this guy's freedom of expression to be infringed upon when it hurts absolutely
nobody.
Seriously...in the world we live in today, these small beans are really what we're (the GM) going to complain about?
He was told to change his tie five times before he was finally fired. He's a car salesman in Chicago, if he can't see how wearing a Packers ties in that city affects the business he worked in, I'm glad he was fired.
And it's really not like he was wearing a huge lip ring, nose ring, had a giant tat on his neck or anything. It was a simple little article of clothing that could be mostly covered by a suit, sir. I understand rivalries go deep, buty some need to grow thicker skin. I've seen people wear Viking jerseys, etc around my neck of the woods. Light ribbing gets flung around, and that's the end of it. I have already explained about the affecting business part.
And thanks, DOC.
