Complaining about your employer is one thing, posting a profanity-laced rant is another. Termination seems harsh, but I can't say I feel any sympathy towards him.

Not really deserved, I mean he works on the stadium it's not like he works with the players, coaches, or the administration on a daily basis. Also wow Wilbon is freaking pissed when asked is this a "got to go sitution"? he said "yes the guy that fired should be fired" he also said something alongs the lines of "I want to take this guy and thorw him in a snow bank if they still have snowbanks in Philly"

GOOD!

He does that AND uses an offensive reference to handicapped people?

Not only should he be fired but I want to see every single employer take a look at this before he gets hired again

I don't care what the economy is, you're that much of a fool you pay the price.

If he ends up in a back alley living in a refrigerator box, so be it

Jasonguy is very harsh on him. How can you not feel bad for the guy? His favorite team got rid of one of their best players. He said retarted, and you want him fired?

That and that he's too much of a moron to trust with employment

The person advertised (in the worst language possible) that he was against the team and insulted the front office.

It's not like he was talking to a friend in a diner and said it to one person. He took up space to notify anyone that passed by how inept he thinks the Eagles are totally ignoring the fact that he worked for them.

Well see the Eagles helped him out, they didn't want him to be a hypocrite for working for someone who was so against his personal views so they canned him.

I can't believe someone would get fired over this, all he did was complain about some front office moves. Fans do this all the time, who cares how eloquently he put it, it isn't the teams business.

Let pretend you have a job

In that job you have a boss

You don't like your boss so you take out a billboard calling him names (also using language that puts the company in a bad light)

You don't think there should be ramifications?

People should be more careful, but i don't think it's grounds for a firing, he just works the gate and voiced his opinion on the team.

A billboard can be seen by anyone, a facebook page is only seen by whoever you add, i doubt random people go around looking at random peoples pages. Somebody had to rat him out to the Eagles for them to even find out. I bet you think a shoplifter should have their hand chopped off.

Your speaking in a very general situation and even then no, I don't think so. What a person says on his own time should be his own business, if it's not hurting his work then what concern is it to the boss? To further nuance the situation, the person was commenting on front office free agency moves so obviously the ex-employee was also a fan of the team, and just didn't agree with the move. He probably doesn't hate his boss at all.
