Rumor Blazers fired their social media guy

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Yeah, this new person they hired sucks:

 

[julius]

Except we don't know if he was dismissed or just left.

I do know that he worked for his old boss at a MLS team. When his boss left to work for the Blazers he left his job to join him here. Now his boss left to work for an NHL team. It wouldn't surprise me if Cody ends up at the same NHL team.

Nope, has to be that Paul Allen and Vulcan, especially that crumb bum McGowan, is an evil doer who fires anyone who dare disagrees with the protocal.

So now I know where our swag went!

While I don't know why Cody is no longer working for the Blazers I do know it was not for being too negative or edgy on twitter.

This is the VP who overseas the Blazers social media department. He got his job here by pushing the limits on social media.

I do know that the head of the social media department just left to work for a NHL team where he grew up and where his family lives. Kris Koivisto, who some of you have met, also left a few months back to get an amazing job in San Diego, does social for the Grammy's and Fox Movies. The Blazers have won the best social media department in all of sports multiple years in a row. There are major opportunities available to the employees in that department. Cody could have left to explore those.

Also don't judge the new guy based on just one tweet. Pick your favorite comedian and you can find jokes they've told that have just bombed. When you're tweeting 50 times a night during a game you are going to have a few clunkers.

That's quite the elaborate theory you've cooked up there SlyKookieDog

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

From the looks of it, the tweet at ESPN wasn't all that great representing the team.

Yeah, since ESPN is a partner of the NBA. If he had scrubbed out the ESPN from the tweet and just made it about Stephen A. Smith it probably would have been better. But these young fucking hipsters and their edgy online personas. fuck that shit.

I wonder if the dismissal is related to this: http://www.sportstwo.com/threads/who-is-serena-winters.326055/

Serena was interviewing dudes in the locker room yesterday.

In fairness I can't criticize Sly. He has to follow the company line if he wants any inside information regarding the Blazers. It is what it is.

Hm, well, she was from LA and McGowan is trying to turn the Blazers into LA north...

Yeah, because they're so concerned over a piss-ant website.

So, he was blindsided by his own resignation? He really should have kept himself in the loop.

Like Blake Griffin, he found out on Twitter.

Overseas the Blazers social media department? I'd fire his ass too if I found out he was trying to move the social media department to India.

You guys and your conspiracy theories are hilarious.

Alright who the fuck is fake news today?! Sly again?! All that fucker does is spread fake news.

Without going into details or how I know, Cody was not fired because of tweets.

Sure thing, company man!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Sure thing, company man!

To be a company man would mean I'm being paid by the Blazers. I would happily take their money if they offered. I just get taken out to lunch a few times a year.

Hey, watch it buddy. We're the official piss-ant forum of the Portland Trail Blazers.

Then maybe change the title of the thread so its not a Crapzano type headline.

AH HA! So you admit Cody was fired?!

I knew it. He overstepped his bounds, branching into merchandising. His idea for the new "City" jersey:
