  • Why would you try to stick it to the fans who you're trying to sell cars to? That's just plain stupid. It would be like being in Gilette Stadium wearing a Giants Super Bowl 42 hat and trying to sell the Pats fans beer.

  • WOW!!! THIS IS JUST A REALLY SAD STORY....

    CHEERS AND I HOPE YOU GET A BETTER JOB BROTHER.

  • R U BOSS WHITE ?

  • the boss tells him 5 times. 5 times to remove the tie. try ignoring your boss' order 5 times. thats aggravating . thats good he got sacked. what and idiot guy. an imbecile moronic moron cant even understand simple instruction.

  • @jjorbita glad george w bush has a fanboy with a youtube account, the guy got FIRED for a FUCKING TIE!

  • @KenFan4life he was fired not just because of the tie but because he is stupid. its not just black and white to look at it. its not just because of the tie. he is a moron that doesnt value his job. he is stupid, and just wants to receive freebies from the government and dont wanna work ever again. just like you living off the government.i dont wish him well and so as you. i hope you'll be hit with disaster such as a tornado and all your family die with it.

  • @jjorbita hes not stupid. hes sticking up to the man! he has a better job now without a boss or co-workers that are ignorant

  • GOOD DECISION BOSS. DIE PACKERS

  • @VoltairesGlove And the Packers win the super bowl. WWWWOOOOOHHHHOOOOO!!!!

  • If his boss would've explained to him why he wanted him to take off the tie then there should'nt have been a problem. Put in that situation I would of asked why he wanted me to remove my tie? Then after the explaination I would've removed the tie out of respect for the company.

  • This has nothing to do with race. Stone had an idiot for a General Manager. Imagine having to work with a guy like that. We've all been in the company of a jerk. Stone is better off working elswhere. I'm not a Packers fan but now I hope they win the Super Bowl. Stone is a hero! GO PACKERS!

  • Yea thats rival so now thats for personal reasons

  • You should be able to fire/hire someone for any reason whether it be because they're white, black, Hispanic, retarded, anything. It's not a smart business decision but they should have the right to do it.

  • if you love your job, then you should help promote the business and all its partner organizations. Stone is a salesman, he should know about it.its not the brightest idea to go wear a Packers tie on a working environment/community that promotes the Bears.Like i said,there are appropriate time and place to express your love and devotion to the Packers.throw a big party at home and tell everybody to come and wear a Packers tie...

  • The employee seems like a douchebag??? His boss yelled profanities in his face about a fucking tie and you're calling the employee a douchebag?? His faggot boss should be sued for this shit. It didn't go against any dress code. He was fired because his boss is a butthurt piece of shit that needed someone to take his frustration out on. No way would he have been fired if the Bears had won. No way. I hope he sues them. I really do.

  • If I was his boss I wouldn't fire him because it's just a tie.

  • Damn..and hes black..aint that some shit?

  • @AgrivatedKillah im sick of blacks saying oh i got fired cus im black or oh i didnt get chosen cus im black

    its fucking ridiculous they were slaves a long time ago no one has anything against em anymore we dont owe them shit WHITE POWER

  • @KCKcorp i just say that shit to piss people like you off.

  • Hey guys, check our my channel! It is my and my friend Jeremy. We have original songs, and we have Let's Plays of our favorite video games and we have commentaries too. Any visits, views, likes, and subscribers are greatly appreciated

  • the guy did get told 3 times if he took it by joking then thats all him. If i wore a beavers tie in eugene and my boss told me a cpl times then id take it off if i liked my job whatsoever.

    Employee seems like a douche bag. he said the 2nd time he told me but i was with a customer. What a jackass thing to say.

  • go pack!

  • i'd fire john stone!!! BASTARD!!!

  • @aceman42 He was wearing a packer's hat the day he got hired, he got hired while wearing a Packers Hat, how all of a sudden can he get fired for wearing a tie? All i'm saying is there probably isn't anything in the handbook stating that you can't wear packer's ties at work, otherwise you are fired. Therefore there is no grounds for removal. All that it basically comes down to is that the boss was sore that the bears lost and he was retaliating any way that he could

  • @dirkringo123 ok they know that Stone was a Packers fan. but Stone should also know that the dealership he is working at has invested on some form of advertising/sponsorship ties with the Bears organization.So in common sense,if you are working say; for Chevrolet/Bears wearing a Packers tie??!!! and plus the fact that he was warned several times to take it off coz its bad for the business and thus not promoting Chevrolet/Bears. Stone is either deaf or just an imbecile...

  • dats crazy. i cant believe this shit!

  • at least the boss didnt lie usually they arent honest

  • i say think logically before reasoning with your emotions and succumbing to your pride. you feel sorry for the guy because he was fired. add the racial issue/tensions as always is the case when a black person is involved and voilaaaahhh you got people with mad rants when really it could've been avoided by the employee being reprimanded by the employer 5 times.

  • I say sue their sorry asses and take your boss' job.

  • he works in homewood illinois i new on yesterday and my brother said hes staying with chevoret of homewood

  • my brother works at chevorlet of homewod and met john stone

  • @HUGEADVANTAGE Where have you been living for the past 100 years? No shit America is still racist. Nothing changes wake up.

  • could be grounds to fire someone, according to all you guys

  • Alright it might be insubordination BUT it was discrimination in it's purest form. All of you guys saying he should have taken the tie off and swallowed his pride then think about this. What if the boss was like hey I don't like that checkered shirt take that off or your fired. Thats just making up stupid rules because you don't like something about someone. Today it's a tie tomorrow it's something else like shoes, pants, shirt, hell maybe even your eyes are the wrong color, i guess that

  • @dirkringo123 then again you are assuming. assuming versus the fact on hand is different my friend. how can u say today the tie tomorow could be the shirt or color of his eyes? has he been fired by the same employer before because of a lousy shirt or because his eyes are purple? nope.clearly he had a job without a problem. he was fired now because of a single incident that could've been prevented had he followed what's being told of him to do.thats the fact at face value. don't assume.

  • @dirkringo123 Exactly. I bet if someone wore a Raiders or Rams tie, Stone wouldn't have said anything to them about it. The dealership hired him knowing full well he was a Packers fan and they just "happened" to fire him the day after they beat the Bears in the NFC Championship. That screams conspiracy. The boss even said it wouldn't have been a problem if he wore it the day before the game. WHAT?!?! Now it's obvious he was butthurt about the Bears losing and needed a scapegoat. What an asshole!

  • GO PACKERS!!

  • And they wonder why Illinois is falling off the map,maybe they just had a higher bidder for his Job,like the Governor's seat,sounds to me that this Dealership is Full of Rats,for everyone you see,there's nine you dont,Illinois political Government and Business Management go hand in hand,it Bites its own Nose off to spite its face,good luck finding a new Job John during the worst Repression this Country has ever seen,try Mc Donalds there an all Sports Team,from the Big- D,Peace Out.

  • if i disregard my boss' direct order 5 times ,im sure ill get fired. anybody would be fired if you ignore your employer 5 times. these days having a job is important. just swallow your pride and take off that darn tie. its so simple really. you dont have to bring out racial stuff. just follow what the boss tells you to do,and u can keep your job.its pride versus job with this situation. logical reasoning versus emotion.

  • @HUGEADVANTAGE hey man relax, why are bringing racial things here. nobody said he was fired because he was black?!!! you jump your horses right away pal. the premise of the topic is either he was fired because he was a Packer fan with a Packer tie or he was fired because he was insubordinate. he wasnt clueless. clueless of what? he was being told by his boss a number of times and disregarded it.thats his boss that signs his paycheck y'know. chill bro.

  • Comment removed

  • Thats a bunch of lies i work there and i was there the whole time. you were told to take that tie off more then 3 times . we were even asking you nicely to take it off so you did not disrespect any of our customers or insult anyone. no one swore at you. and you know that. You are giving all the sales people there a bad name and you did not get fired for a tie you got fired for being insubordinate.

  • all of you that are up in arms and speaking about lawsuits, you need to relax and think for a minute that this is the real world and a business. he is supposed to sell cars in chicago. do you think any angry bears fans directly off the loss are gonna want to deal with a man in a cheap suit with a stupid smirk and a packers tie? the answer is no. so its bad business. he got fired because he was asked not once but 5 times to remove it. try ignoring any of your bosses 5 times, then talk lawsuit

  • Hahaha, the ONLY people defending the boss are butt hurt Bears fans LOL, and this is coming from a Philly fan.

  • I love how these things get made into a big story. If this was in Boston and someone wore a Jets tie to work, you don't think their boss would have a problem with that? Even if you say no, let's look at it this way. First of all, this guy wasn't wearing the tie for his dead grandma. If you believe that, you are dumb. Second if you are wearing something your boss tells you to take off, you take it off or get fired. That is how the real world works.

  • @jordanv78 amen to that bro. if you respect your job and the boss that signs your check , then you do what the boss tells you otherwise thats insubordination. after all , i think the boss asked him three times.

  • @aceman42 Glad that someone else is thinking of this in a realistic manner. Leave the team crap out of it. If your boss tells you to do something, and you don't listen to him, you get written up, or fired. Plain and simple. That's just the way the real world works. People may not agree with it, but it happens every day.

  • @jordanv78 i agree absolutely.i mean there are places and time where you can do your freedom and right of expression but clearly not in a working environment that promotes/sponsors the Bears team along with the cars that you are selling.for example if im the manager of Coke, i dont want my salesman/product representative to deliver a truckload of coke products wearing a Pepsi cap. bad promotion, bad business...

  • thumbs up for common sense and logical reasoning...

  • I would laugh that the Bears stop going to that dealership because they fired the him over the tie. The boss really screwed up.

  • For Crying out loud he's a SALESMAN. His ENTIRE JOB is to sweet-talk customers into buying cars. Why do people think that it's acceptable for him to put customers into a bad mood by remind them that they lost the championship game of the century, especially after he was warned thrice to take it off? That Doesn't put them in the mood to buy cars, in-fact it does quite the opposite.

  • ive heard the car dealership has a sponsorship deal with the Chicago Bears team. now im opposed to the firing but if you're an employee from a car dealership that spends tons of money to promote and advertise their cars and the Bears altogether to sell, and you got to "work" wearing a packers tie!??? and you are a "salesman". i think thats bad for the business...

  • wow this was fucken rediculous, it was a TIE!!! I hope he gets hired by someone else for double the money, and these people lose money, why the fuck is the owner freaking out, you know why because he's a Bears fan and he was simply upset about them losing to the Packs. IF someone complained then you tell him to take it off you just don't fire him like that. Disrespectfull and your insane

  • Just drove passed that place... Bears flags all over! LOL some people are a little too crazy!

  • No Kidding.

  • It's very typical south suburban mentality. Oak Lawn sucks. There are no good jobs in that area and the ones they do have like this, are shitty.

  • fucking piece of shit, scum of the earth, greedy corporate asshole car dealership owner/manager is the epitome of the disgusting nature of the business and economical moral state of this country and the world. The man's livelihood is based on working for you and you're going to fire him for wearing an article of clothing just because their rival team is a sponsor and you might lose some money. you should be shot, you soulless bastard.

  • Jerry Roberts of Webb Chevrolet in Oak Lawn should be fired on the spot for this power trip.

  • The dumbest reason to get fired. IT'S JUST A SPORT, PEOPLE.

  • Why in the world would the Chicago Bears have a contract with a car dealership?

  • Cause he's black huh?

  • someones gonna get PAID! SUE SUE SUE lol gotta love america!

  • his boss got raped by Clay Matthews that's why he reacted like that

  • im loling

  • WATCH Joe Rogan - The aMERICAN wAR mACHINE

  • it cost more to hire a new employee than to keep one, stupid boss.

  • What a stupid boss being a sore loser. I get it, he was reluctant on his orders but firing him over a tie? A He could have gave him a suspension or a make him take the rest of the day off without pay for not listening but he had to terminate him, all because of a necktie. Sore loser.

  • I smell a lawsuit. General manager Jerry Roberts is a dumbass.

  • Bears fans are all douchebags.

  • Wow, are you serious?? That was stupid!!

  • i'm from west virginia and if i ever met a pitt panthers fan sure i'd make fun of them and pull pranks on them but firing a man was definitely taking it too far.

  • RACISM IS A BITCH IF HE WAS WHITE HE WOULD HAVE SAID PLZ SIR CAN YA TAKE THAT PACKERS TIE OFF GO STEELERS

  • @jayblac what does this half too do with racism, it has too do with how the boss was a soar loser not racism.stupid boss though.

  • he deserved to be fired go bears

  • @asdfghjklmnbvcyz u mad son?

  • that boss should be fired..

  • Vin Scully would say "And here comes the wrongful termination suit".

  • I understand the Passion that fans for their teams (I'm a Steelers fan, from Pittsburgh) but this boss just brought the heat on himself. Sounds like someone has a discrimination lawsuit on their hands.

  • Call the B.B.B. and sue his ass

  • He fired him because that shirt and tie combo just don't work. XD

    But really, it's a tie, come on...it's not like he's putting up a FatHead poster in a place of business.

  • wow...... what a stupid boss
