A month after Dan Leone was fired from his job with the Philadelphia Eagles due to a Facebook post that slammed the organization, Athletic Communications assistant Charles "Chas" Dorman has been fired for similar Facebook activity.
The Eagles fired Leone because he lambasted them for letting safety Brian Dawkins leave the team for Denver. Dorman, meanwhile, has posted several times over the last month complaining about Penn sports, specifically his assignment of covering baseball.
"God, this team just tears at your heart," one post said. "They're up five runs going into the eighth and they lose. Geez, all these games feel like Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS. FML."
Athletic Communications director Mike Mahoney announced that he will rehire Sam Angell for continuity's sake, since "they're basically the same person."
Dorman says he will now transfer to the Columbia Athletic Department, which is where rejected Penn Athletic Communications people go.
