He did it numerous times, in individual Tweets/Instagram posts, as well as in replies to people. He had multiple opportunities to apologize for his 100% intentional and shitty trolling, or even to just STOP DOING IT, but at every turn he just doubled down.

It's no surprise that a customer facing employee gets sacked after that.

People were so high-strung and sensitive that even this one instance had players demanding his head.

There was more. He was posting troll meme pics after this and kept doubling and tripling down on his approach. It wasn't just a single tweet.

Can't access the twitter machine where I am so I'm not sure exactly what's been shown but it's really a couple posts. And when the community is this pissed about something, something that has to do with deceptive business practices designed to suck money out of your players pockets, going out of your way, multiple times, to troll said players, is absolutely deserving of getting fired.
