    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.

    ing 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 en led to ing vent.
