Should I be happy Kietzman was fired? Yes, it's me.

I don't think anyone should be thrilled that we are living in a time that any little comment can get you canned and destroyed on social media. When I first heard about this I listened to the audio and thought I was going to hear something way worse than what I did.

However saying the stuff he said simply wasn't smart. He had to know there would be consequences for taking it as far as he did. The Chiefs are a big part of 810 and to throw their head coach under the bus like that was not good for business.

I am however, thrilled he is gone because I couldn't stand listening to that ego maniac and the station is much better off without him.

When there has been no discipline for the prior 20+ years of stupid things said, a man gets very very full of himself and "thinks" he is "untouchable" therefore more brash, brazen and obnoxious as time goes on especially when he is part owner which emboldened him even more. KK a victim of chasing after his own celebrity. David Bowie sings about this.




Fame makes a man take things over
Fame lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame puts you there where things are hollow (fame)
Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame
That burns your change to keep you insane (fame)
Fame, (fame) what you like is in the limo
Fame, (fame) what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, (fame) what you need you have to borrow Fame
Fame, (fame) it's mine, it's mine, it's just his line
To bind your time, it drives you to crime (fame)
Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool? (fame)
Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on pain (fame)
Fame
Fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame
Fame, what's your name?
Fame

His whole schtick was basically pissing people off, it caught up with him.

People get fired all the time in the "real world" (i.e. non-entertainment industries) for saying the wrong thing about the wrong person. In nearly all of those cases, I'm willing to bet those firings were waiting to happen due to poor job performance or just mailing it in after many years.

Hell, here in Fargo they have their own sports talk radio station reserved exclusively for NDSU athletics-- we're talking Division I-AA competition! I don't give a flying **** about NDSU women's basketball or NDSU sports in general, but the local yokels they hired to talk these sports are better jockeys than KK specifically because they try to keep the conversation engaging without going overboard on troll takes just to get people talking and riled up. It's really not that hard.

KK was boring, and when he wasn't boring he was a giant Skip Bayless-level troll. The station decided to move in a different direction. Good for them.

I agree with all of this except that I'll reserve judgment on the last paragraph until I see who 810 replaces him with. Hey jwhit, maybe it's time for you to return to 810 and KC radio. That would be a plot twist.
