This guy is a poster child for the Alt Right. He fits the mold perfectly.
Glad they stepped up and did the right thing by getting rid of him. Tomlin is far from what he called him, Tomlin is a gentleman and is well respected by everyone. Being from Pittsburgh originally, I am glad to see the city acted so fast in getting rid of this throwback to 1950 mentality,
One could easily blame the protests for the racial divide. However, all it really reveals is how divided a nation we still are and have always been. I can look at the response.
-When Colin Kaepernick started kneeling during the anthem, I didn't see many, if any, Black people complaining about this. I saw more Blacks defending him than anything else. Most of the criticism came from White conservatives. I don't recall any White liberals criticizing him. I don't recall any Libertarians doing this.
-When Kaepernick ended up without a team to play for, it was mostly Black people saying "boycott the NFL". I didn't hear much of anything from Whites. When "taking the knee" starting spreading through the NFL, I haven't heard a peep from Black people saying "boycott the NFL". I've mostly heard White conservatives say they would not watch NFL games.
The racial divide even goes into who people root for. Super Bowl 48. Seahawks vs Broncos. I remember going on facebook and I found a bizarre pattern. Most Blacks were posting "Go Seahawks". Most Whites were posting "Go Broncos". I remember maybe one White person who rooted for the Seahawks. Now, I live in the Atlanta metropolitan area. while there are people from other states moving here, most of the people picking sides never lived in Seattle or Denver. And I'll come out and admit it. I'm Black and I rooted for the Seahawks. I used to live in the Seattle area, so I have a stake in it. I also root for the Seattle Mariners. Why do you think my username is green_mariner? Anyway, the racial divide even extended to the Super Bowl.
This NFL controversy only shows what has always been there.
Jerry Jones is a hypocrite. The NFL is an anti American, leftist, PC league. However, their league, their rules. It is a private enterprise, and they can do what they want. For the first time in over fifty years I stopped watching. That's my right, and I am now OK with anything they do as I am NO LONGER A CUSTOMER.

I didn't know you could "fire" a volunteer. So no, he's not out of a job. Which seems to be what a couple of you think.
Tell you what will happen, since volunteer departments generally elect their officers every year or two years. He'll remain a member of the department, likely remain on the board of directors.
