Football Fan Fired Over Facebook Post

Sometimes you forget when you post on the internet just how public that information is. For one football fan, a posting he made on the popular social network has ended with him being fired.

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 post was only up for a few days when Leone was fired. He said the boss indicated displeasure at his post and he immediately apologized.

Apparently his answer wasn’t good enough and he was terminated.

Even though he’s been canned, Leone remains a fan.
