Cavs fan fired after sending offensive tweet to Curry's sister
Bad decisions usually come with consequences, especially when you're name and place of work are attached.
Prior to Wednesday's Game 3 of the NBA Finals, a Cleveland Cavaliers fan named Moe Wahdan sent a tweet to Stephen Curry's sister Sydel that contained an offensive remark about Steph's daughter.
The tweet has since been deleted, but Total Pro Sports grabbed a screenshot:
Sydel, who was en route to Cleveland at the time, responded with this tweet:
We'll be gone Friday! Bless up https://t.co/MoYnutNj7c
— Sydel Curry (@sydelcurry) June 8, 2016
Other Twitter users began tagging Wahdan's employer, Holton Wise, in his tweet to Sydel and it wasn't long before he was out of a job.
@cheryll @warriorsworld Our apologies to all who were a party to this attack @HoltonWise does not condone this & we have terminated him
— HoltonWise (@HoltonWise) June 8, 2016
Holton Wise owner James Wise also issued a statement on Wahdan's firing:

Moral of the story? Be careful what you tweet.
