A Facebook post criticizing his employer, the Philadelphia Eagles, cost a stadium operations worker his job, according to a story in Monday's Philadelphia Inquirer.

Dan Leone, who the Inquirer said worked as a west gate chief, was unhappy the team let Brian Dawkins sign with the Denver Broncos in free agency. According to the newspaper, Leone posted the following on his Facebook page: "Dan is [expletive] devastated about Dawkins signing with Denver ... Dam Eagles R Retarted!!"

Despite deleting the comment, Leone told the Inquirer the Eagles fired him by phone days later.

:lmao Fucking Eagles.

That's pretty weak, but you should know better than to blast your employer on the internet.

Sucks for the dude. I'd be pissed if the Raiders let a guy go with the intensity and heart of Dawkins.

Firing a stadium operations worker for saying that is about the stupidest thing ever. If he'd been a front office guy then maybe, but a guy who actually works for a living and has no influence on personnel decisions is just a fan who draws a paycheck, and should be entitled to fucking vent.
