Chicago man fired for wearing Packers tie to work

From Chicago's WGNtv.com comes the unfortunately real story of a Chicago car salesman who was fired because he wore a Green Bay Packers tie to work. And making it even worse, the man wore it because his grandma was a Packers fan who had recently died and was buried two days before her beloved team's NFC Championship game matchup with the Chicago Bears.

Wow Really! Just for representing his team. That's ridiculous!

Should be fired for that butt ugly tie no matter what the team was on it.

He actually got re-hired a few days ago

Yeah with that amount of loyalty I'd expect the Packers to be offering me a job instead!

Thats just wrong!!!
Sure, you can tell him to take it off, but to just fire people like that, in THIS economy....
Shame on you!

Would love to see him come back after being re-hired with the tie still on

Be even better if he comes back re-hired - after the Packers win the SB.

As a GM I would ask him to take the tie off or take the day off

firing is a bit excessive.
