Packers Fan Fired For Wearing Green Bay Tie to His Car Salesman Job In Chicago

As the title indicates, Stone chose to stick with the tie and Roberts told Stone to stick it. While losing your job because of a harmless tie is ridiculous, its not quite as ridiculous as the origin of Stone’s Packers’ fandom. Stone grew up in Chicago and didn’t become a Packers fan until “he first saw former running back Ahman Green play.” I’ll give you a minute. That makes him a Packers fan since 2000 at the earliest.

“I liked the way he played, and I liked Brett Favre before he left, and I love Aaron Rodgers, the coaching staff — the whole organization,” he said.

While Stone likely prepares for a lawsuit, we have to wonder if he deserved to be fired. Roberts says that Stone was “salting the wounds” and basically making it harder for hurt fans to sell cars. On top of that the dealership has actual ties with the Bears. Chicago announcer Jeff Joniak and several players drive loaners from Webb. And then there’s the matter of the dealership spending $20,000 a month advertising with the Bears.
