The Indianapolis 500 was held on Sunday and for the first time ever, a Japanese driver, Takuma Sato, won the race. Frei tweeted his personal feelings about the driver’s ethnicity and he didn’t last 24 hours on his job afterward.

The question now comes down to whether or not Frei should have been able to express himself freely on his personal timeline during his own personal time. Sure he could be classified as a bigot but doesn’t he have the right to say what he wants and anyway he wants.

The firing was a repercussion to his initial action, so maybe he should have thought about the ramifications before he hit “enter” on the keyboard.

The Denver Post announced Monday it had fired its sportswriter, Terry Frei, a day after he made a racially-insensitive remark about Japanese driver Takuma Sato winning the Indianapolis 500 Sunday. “Nothing specifically personal, but I am very uncomfortable with a Japanese driver winning the Indianapolis 500 during a Memorial Day weekend,” Frei tweeted out Sunday afternoon.

His tweet immediately set off a storm online, leading to Frei quickly deleting the tweet and sending out another message: “I apologize.” About three hours later, Frei sent out a lengthier explanation for the original tweet, saying he had been visiting his father’s grave site at the Fort Logan National Cemetery. Frei said his father spent four years flying reconnaissance missions over Japan.

This newspaper did what they had to do because that goes against their ethics and I understand that. Let me bring in record companies and video channels that promote rappers and singers who call women “bi**hes,” and “h**s,” when they are recording their music. How about the women who almost appear to wear nothing in these videos today? What ethics to these companies have?

I would never have said anything like this privately or publicly because I don’t care. Have I said some things in my lifetime in private? Sure. We all have but to make it public, you run the risk or alienating yourself at your job or any future employment you seek.
