The logic of being a football fan ...

... Can get you fired. Seriously.

Case in point here from the classless Philadelphia Eagles.

A employee spouted off on Facebook about his disgust about the Brian Dawkins being taken by the Denver Broncos. He said that the Eagles organization has to be 'retarded' to let such a guy go.

Well, the Eagles organization found out about this, and was promptly let go from his position within the team.

Look, I know how people feel when their favorite player leaves a team you love (Terrell Owens/Buffalo Bills), but come on, have a sense of reality and logic. NOTHING on the internet is private these days. I personally feel that if you are in a high profile job or with a very public organziation, you need to keep your online presence to a bare minimum. This includes making silly comments on NFL players, and the TEAM YOU WORK FOR.

What an idiot.

But I can't be too surprised here ... We are talking about Philadelphia Eagles fans here. They operate with their brains not reaching the top floor.
