Offer Chad Shanks his job back as the digital communication manager of the Houston Rockets

The Issue

So the Houston Rockets fired Chad over his "offensive tweet" that was posted shortly before the Houston Rockets knocked the Dallas Mavericks out of the playoffs. The Houston Rockets twitter page has long been a favorite among the fans due to its humor. And after being insulted time and time again by Mark Cuban, Chad tweeted out what many of the Houston fans were thinking, though I think it was a little too nice. I liken this to having a Senator vote on an issue because that is what his/her constituents want them to do, and then being crucified for it. The reason the petition says "offer Chad his job back" and not "give Chad his job back" is because I don't know if he would accept it back. He might be in San Antonio as we speak for an interview with the Spurs. But this PC crap has gone too far. Just look at the comments section of any sports website reporting this story and you will see that most NBA fans think this is a bunch of BS. The only ones offended are PETA, Mark Cuban and Mavericks fans. However, if I am wrong, and if the majority of people are offended by an emoji horse about to get shot by an emoji gun, then God help us all.

-Note: As I told my 7 year old son about this situation and my plans to start a petition about it (and then explaining what a petition was), he said "mom, just have JJ Watt sign it. Because if JJ Watt signs it, then it will automatically happen, because he is the boss of Houston"....LOL....love my little Houston sports fan.
