John Stone wore the tie
to work at Webb Chevrolet in Oak Lawn Monday, the day after the Packers beat
the Chicago Bears to advance to the Super Bowl. Stone says he wore the tie to
honor his late grandmother, who was a big Green Bay fan.
But his boss, Jerry
Roberts, says the dealership has done promotions involving the Bears. He was
afraid the tie could alienate the team's fans and make it harder to sell cars.
Roberts now says Stone can come back, but Stone says he won't. He's also been
offered a job at another dealership.
