Must not criticize football team management
Is nobody able to take criticism these days?
"Dan Leone says he was fired from Lincoln Financial Field after expressing anger over the Philadelphia Eagles' failure to re-sign free agent safety Brian Dawkins in a Facebook post. Leone has run the front gate at the stadium for five years since working his way up from the guest services gate.
The Facebook post was up for two days, and Leone says he immediately apologized when his boss questioned him about it. However, Leone says his boss thought he no longer represented the team well because he didn't make them look good as a front-line staff member, MyFOXPhilly.com reports.

Controversy about who is selected for the team is as old as sport. It's part of the interest.

The majority of people still haven't come to grips with the fact that political correctness has replaced not only free speech, but free thought as well.
This has nothing to do with political correctness, or even free speech. We all know that we do not have speech without consequence, especially in the workplace. It would be interesting to look at this guys contract. Most jobs I know will fire you for publically speaking against your bosses hiring/firing. The only real question here is should facebook be considered relevant to your work. Did his facebook page show that he worked for the Eagles? Did his statement?
I was taught long ago not to speak against your boss where he/she can hear you, and a public forum is a place where they can do that.
Facebook is not the work place, it is a social networking site, but still free speech applies to the net.
It's the gate attendant people!!!
... that is all.
