Some of my favorite things in racing are the Miss Sprint Cups. Their job as far as I can tell is to look very pretty at all times – especially in Victory Circle. Recently one of the Miss Sprint Cups was fired. Paige Duke, a beautiful tall brunette with a smile that lights up racing was let go recently for something she did as an eighteen year old – about six years ago.
She posed nude in her dorm room at Clemson University and gave the pictures to her boyfriend at the time. Now they show up on the internet and she is fired from her job as Miss Sprint Cup.
Ridiculous!
First of all if the guy she gave them to is responsible he should be dealt with severely. I am thinking; locked in a garage with Tiny from Junior’s Pit Crew. Tiny looks like a guy who could teach him the way Paige should be treated.
Second, Sprint needs to put Paige Duke back into her position as Miss Sprint Cup immediately.
Fired for something she did as an eighteen year old? If that is the criteria for losing your job – stupidity at 18 – probably everyone but me is going to be fired. I won’t be fired because I work for myself and I have a really cool boss. Was it stupid to take nude photos and give them to someone? Absolutely! Eighteen and doing stupid things are synonymous. Is Paige stupid? Not at all. As I understand it she graduated magna cum laude from Clemson University.
Give this smart, modern, woman fair treatment. Sprint hired her to do a job at 24. She, to the best of my observations, has done that job. As I said she has a job that entails looking pretty at all times. She as done that every time I have seen her.
Sprint needs to put her back to work or publicly be asked questions about the eighteenth year of their top executives while hooked to a lie detector. If they pass the test I will recognize they have the right to cast the first stone.
Plus Sprint firing someone for posing for nude pictures? How hypocritical is this? Do they not know what a whole lot of people are doing with those camera phones?
I obviously am in favor of treating people as I would want treated.
The Golden Rule.
It is obvious Sprint does not share my views.
I ask you for a favor. If Sprint does not reverse their decision; please consider their lack of belief in The Golden Rule when deciding your next contract with a cell phone carrier.
Also consider if there is ANYTHING you did at eighteen you would like to tell your boss (and the internet world) about.
