Reminds me of when Elaine Benes wore the Mets hat in the Yankees' owner's box.

Arkansas = Right to work state

No reason needed to be fired. It's the same here in Alabama. Maybe I should get off s2ki........naaaaaaahhhhhhhhh...

Employment in AR is typically at-will, i.e. the employer doesn't need just-cause to fire.. oh well..

AR = Arkansas
AK = Alaska

You're right, and you're wrong.

It was an Orioles cap in the owners box.

See http://www.seinfeldscripts.com/TheLetter.htm to confirm.

I think it's excessive to fire her, but it was definitely unprofessional for her to wear a hat representing an opposing team to the press conference. I have a hard time believing that it wasn't intentional, too... although I'm sure she'd never admit it.
I'm guessing these idiots never heard of our First Amendment...

I'm guessing you don't realize that amendments don't protect you from being fired.

Made me lol... but I see that as a fireable(sp) offence. Not only did you wear the hat but the hat actually garnered a response from a "respected" individual in the presence of other media. She was trollin and she knows it.
