Rant For 1-25-11

Here is one for the "Sore Loser" department.

On Monday a salesman for a car dealership in Chicago was fired. No surprise, salesman are fired all the time. Salespeople in this country are a transient lot, even when successful.

So what makes this so special you ask? Well, he was fired for wearing a Green Bay Packers tie! Yes, you read correctly, a TIE! Not poor sales, or poor customer service, a TIE! Apparently he was wearing the tie in memory of his grandmother who had just recently passed away and was a huge Packers fan.

The bacteria stuffed suit that fired him said he felt that wearing the tie was "inapproriate due to being in direct contrast to an advertising campaign they had spent a lot of  money on". WHAT BS!!

We know what this was all about, this petulant, self indulgent knuckle dragging excuse for a "Manager", was simply a "Sore Loser". He was so upset that his beloved Bears lost, he had to make someone pay, and he did! I'll bet it made this penis-less mud-dweller feel more like a man. I hope everyone in the Chicago area sees this story for what it is, and doesn't purchase from this establishment until this walking ad for neutering is gone.

All we football fans have a passion for our teams, in my case the Eagles and Ravens. We also have disdain and hatred for our rivals (Pittsburg and everyone in the NFC East :-), but at the end of the fight we need to represent our teams by showing class and decorum in defeat. We will again pick up the fight next year.

In firing an employee who was wearing the competition's tie, this classless moron overstepped not only the bounds of the employer-employee relationship, but also embarassed his company, his team, his city and their fans.

Hmmm, and they say Philadelphia fans are bad...I wonder if any Pittsburg fans work for me..:-)

    BTW, the sales manager for this dealership probably goes to a game and sits in the corporate booth and business-schmoozes with the factory reps. That's most likely as close as he gets to seeing what an honest emotion from a fan actually is. The majority of sales managers are not that way. But this guy needs to have his head drained and refilled with anything other than what's in it right now. Or someone needs to trade him in for a better model.
