A stadium operations manager at Lincoln Financial Field lost his job this week for making the rookie mistake of dissing his employer, the Philadelphia Eagles, in his Facebook status update.
Dan Leone, crushed by the Eagles’ decision to let safety Brian Dawkins sign with Denver, was driven by his emotions to change his status to “Dan is [expletive] devastated about Dawkins signing with Denver … Dam Eagles R Retarted!!” The Pennsylvania Aviary for Handicapped Birds of Prey declined comment.
Rather than changing their own Facebook status to something like “The Philadelphia Eagles are going to suck ass with or without Dawkins. Have you even been watching football for the past few seasons? Dan Leone is a tool,” the Eagles decided to kick it up a notch and straight up fire Leone. The six year Eagles employee told the Inquirer that he feels he’s been ‘done dirty’ and that he is ‘devastated’, a word he clearly loves using frivolously.
As far as his future in stadium operations management for Philadelphia teams, Leone’s future looks bleak. The Phillies are doing too well to care about him, he’s afraid of ice, and he has a deep seeded loathing for Jon Bon Jovi. Luckily, Tony Luke’s is hiring, but due to the bad economy they can only pay him in their delicious, homemade mayonnaise.
