I can't say I'm at all surprised that he was fired. Why would a company risk alienating their customers just to demonstrate support for the guy who does the voice of their mascot? Might they have lost customers by not firing him? Seems like the answer might be yes. Will firing him cost them any customers? I doubt it. Seems like a simple business calculation, no?

No denying. But then again everything is a business decision these days. Like sending Uncle Mo in a workout race written for him.
