Renee Gork: Today's Special About the Fired Gator

J.T. Sounds OFF- August 17, 2010

Renee Gork of KAKS radio in Arkansas was fired Monday. ย What's the big deal you ask? ย She wasn't fired because she lacked in her performance as a radio personality. Rather, Renee was fired because she wore a Gator cap to an Arkansas press conference.ย 

Fired! ย Really?!?ย

I get the fact that it isn't a bright idea to wear a rival SEC ball cap to a press conference. ย However, it is an outrage to lose your job over it.ย 

This isn't some degenerate fan who isย looking for his/her five minutes of fame ladies and gentlemen. ย This an actual persons lively hood we're dealing with.ย 

Was it of best judgement for Renee to wear a Gator hat to a Razorback press conference?ย 

Absolutely not!

I fully understand that sports fans get extremely passionate about their teams. More so when College sports are involved.ย 

As a fan you don't want to walk into enemy territory wearing a rivals' jersey or in this case a ball cap. ย 

A good friend of mine once told be that you didn't want to walk into the old "Link" in Philadelphia wearing anything but Eagle gear. ย In fact, a fan once got peed on because he was sporting a jersey of a rival NFC East team.ย 

The discomfort with this situation regarding Renee Gork is completely understandable. Furthermore, I have no issue with Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino refusing to take further questions from Ms. Gork at the press conference. ย 

I can't imagine he would stand alone on this if another coach was put in a similar situation. ย 

Here's what KAKS station manager Dan Storrs had to say regarding the firing of Renee Gork. "We are very biased. ย We support the Razorbacks 100%."

Excuse me Dan. You lost that argument when you hired a Florida Gator at your station.ย
