Alabama Fan Fired For What He Tweeted About Jermaine Burton/Tennessee Fan Incident

Saban was cool with it

If anyone continues to do business with this company then they are shitty human beings

What is kele?

Continuing education is expensive.

Why tweet when you can say things anonymously on TD.

As Harvey Updike said, "just too much Alabama in me". Actually he said, "jest tu much Bama nme".

Just another example of why not to use social media

And that is why you stay off social media

Sad dude lost his job over that

Bama fans are the worst. By a mile. Insufferable pricks just like their coach

I don't know this situation but I know how management works. This individual was already on the radar for any number of reasons...poor performance, boorish behavior, insubordination, you name it. This person handed the company a ready made reason to part ways with him. This person also handed the company a great (for many perspectives) public relations opportunity. If you think this person got fired for this act alone, I would suggest you might be TFC!

Almost every company has a social media policy. This guy knew it before he tweeted what he did. Saying this kind of speech is protected is stupid. It is protected in that he can’t be jailed for it, but his employer can absolutely part way with him for being a dumbass

Calling gumps stupid isn't hateful, it's plain facts.

This kind of reaction to shitty speech is itself shitty. Losing one's job over blurting out some stupid crap is absurd.

This is where everyone pretends to be outraged despite the same users posting far more horrific comments on this very site...

Yet there is no link to the tweet?

So Larry reads the rant.

Why draw attention to his association with your CO by tweeting it? Lol Never heard the guy or the CO until now. Just fire him and move on if you want.

Weird overreaction. Especially since he's correct.

Further proof that you should stay off of social media, especially Twitter.
