Title: CNN fired Brandon Ray?
Post by: regmac on October 08, 2009, 08:18:17 PM
Wow   how sad!   And, according to him, it had to do with him being a bodybuilder and not being black.  Sad stuff especially during these finacial hard times.  I wish him the best.

Damn, now their rating will drop to 500 people. On the lighter side, John Stossle is on the Fox business channel.

I wall all of them...MSNBC, Headline News etc  etc.  But its rare for top named bodybuilder to have good paying jobs.  He's suing from what i read in MD , also.

So basically if he was a supreme fatass doing the same job, he would have kept his job?

They probably knew he was a bodybuilder when they hired him. They knew he was bodybuilder when he was working in the office. If it's the drug question, well, I willing to bet that many of their employees are doing blow as well.

I am pretty sure the drug issue had a lot to do with the bodybuilding issue.  But its not like he was a FREAK.   We compete at the same size, and out of shape, no one knows what I do.

Well, if he passed all drug tests, which I think, CNN might not have, they are only going by a prejudicial view of him. If he comes in on time does his work, gets good reviews, yet his arms and chest are bigger than everybody else's, why should management care? At the heart of it is pure jealousy, and Beta's being intimidated.

He has a settlement going on.   So he had to be hush hush for most of that news. But Flex (Wheeler) was trying to get more info.

Good for him. makes no sense, man can't be a bodybuilder, but fatasses are loowed to work, and suck up healthcare benefits, days off because of it. They can get Gastric bypass, be the epitome of sloth, yet let a man be a amateur competitive bber, and he gets fired.

Read the latest issue of MD.    All I got was what was said.   Brandon was not able to give anymore detail than what he said.

I'm sure Branden is a swell guy and all, but bodybuilders are notorious for being unable to hold down a j-o-b, as in coming to work late because their blender got jammed by the protein powder chunks and having to take off extra days because of getting sick with the EQ Flu and low-carb, I just don't have the energy to catch the red line today days.

MD absolutely LOVED the whole CNN angle and played it for all it was worth. Sad that it may have wound up backfiring on Mr. Ray. I'll get the full story from Branden at the gym.

Maybe he became victim of a general cost cutting exercise where all the employees who are let go get settlements. Wouldn't be unusual in the current economic environment.

There is no cost-cutting exercise where all employees get settlements. They may, however, be offered severance packages, in which case they should contact a severance attorney (like SeveranceAttorney.com) to negotiate on their behalf.
