NFT: newly hired HS coach fired due to 3 yr old Instagram pic...

Mike in St. Louis : 2/22/2017 4:47 pm
of him and his wife holding a bottle of liquor...wow...pretty sad, especially since HS knew about the pic before he was hired...

former NFL CB Fernando Bryant was fired from Georgia HS less than 3 weeks after being hired..."We’re sorry that our relationship had to end before it started. We wish you the best,” the school wrote in canning him...

they apparently fired him because some parents complained about the picture, which the school already knew about...

lol

it is a reminder of why I dont have any social media -

my issue is that everything you do has a record - you are forced to self censor and can have your livelihood at risk because of something innocuous.

the photo is so benign.


Bryant said the picture was taken three years ago at an event for Bemagazine, an internet magazine. He said they were taking the picture for sponsors.
Regarding any type of offense is there never a time when a company

or school doesn't have to apologize for something? Some gripes are legit. But if something is innocuous, can't the school just tell the parents that they're not firing a coach over a 3 year old inoffensive photo?

School Districts have no balls. Very sad. I agree with you. It is not illegal to have a drink, so what is the problem?
I hope those parents explain to their kids

what they did was far worse than anything in that picture. They should be fucking ashamed of themselves.
Here is a relevant article

Ah, the worst of what I'm gonna call so-called Christians...

like they never heard of “Do not judge, so that you will not be judged, since you will be judged in the same judgment that you make, and you will be measured by the same standard you apply.” How fucking sad. Where's compassion, empathy, forgiveness? Some "Christians".
Pathetic!!

The suppressor is the media and social media. It can ruin lives/careers for saying something that 100% may only hurt someone's feelings, if that. Billy Bush is one recent example. You may not have a social media account but there is nothing to stop someone from taking a picture of you or video and throwing it on the interwebs. Example is the teachers playing the EMK game at a bar. Your right to privacy and free speach is being chipped away and it has nothing to so with the government.
