Over A Tie? Saleman Fired For Wearing A Packers Tie!

"With Chicago reeling from Sunday’s painful playoff loss, Monday morning probably wasn’t the best time for car salesman John Stone to share his love for the Green Bay Packers with co-workers and customers. But Stone, 34, proudly showed up for work at Webb Chevrolet in Oak Lawn wearing his green-and-yellow Packers necktie anyway. Now he’s former car salesman John Stone. The morning after the Chicago Bears’ hated rivals beat them at Soldier Field to advance to the Super Bowl, Webb’s general manager Jerry Roberts said he fired Stone for refusing to remove the Packers tie. The facts aren’t in dispute, only the appropriateness of the novelty neckwear. “He said, ‘You have two options,’” a furious Stone said Monday. “Remove the tie or you’re fired. When I didn’t, he said, ‘You can leave, you’re fired.’ Does that sound fair to you?”" - Southtownstarnews
