    Really?

    We're talking about emojis (EMOJIS!) less offensive than the average Animaniacs short... Just... just how do you casually make such an epic reach for an inappropriate comparison? Hell, why are you even posting in the petition thread? You know what, don't bother replying. This will lead to no satisfying conclusion. I'll just ignore you.

    Jesus...

    Saw this guy signing a maximum contract with the Mavs Social Media group at the bar last night. He then proceeded to crush his iPhone in celebration.

    I signed it. While I think the tweet wasn't in great taste (though funny), he certainly shouldn't have been fired and deserves a second chance--like everyone in life. I mean, his fireable offense is using emojis in a 'controversial' manner...he apologized and everyone should move on.

    ok, just forget if you think it's about emojis. this debate is gone too far. For once I repeat, I did not get offended by this tweet. It does not matter if his tweet was offensive or not. whatever. What matters, part of the society finds it offensive based on their perspective and the PR manager should have known better.

    Been thinking about this a lot. I admit I was wrong. Chad made a big mistake but it was not worth being fired for that.

    Signed. Also, can someone explain to me why the tweet was offensive to anyone (besides weak *** Mavs fans)? Is it an animal abuse issue, because, if so, that is quite a reach. Is it because Dirk is like an old horse that needs to be put down? I really don't get what is even possibly offensive here.

    The sad part is the org will just ignore this...just like they ignore requests to bring back Calvin and change uniforms.

    So, this is the one time in which members of Clutchfans get together to call for a Rockets employee to NOT be fired. Usually it goes the other way around. :)
