Here’s your photo…and your pinkslip

Hey, everyone wants to get a photo of themselves with a big-time celebrity, don't they? If your answer is no, just play along. Social media is chock-full of "Here I am with this big shot" photos, desks and bulletin boards across the nation feature celebrity encounters; let's face it, we dig famous folks.

However, there are places and occupations that just don't lend themselves to that kind of thing. For example, if you're say, a security guard at Reliant Stadium in Houston, it appears to be bad for your career health to hit up Patriot's QB Tom Brady for a photo.

According to Yahoo Sports, Tom Brady was on his way to the Patriots team bus after completing his media duties following Sunday's Patriots-Texans game when two security personnel at Reliant Stadium, Christopher Moore and Joel Williams, asked Brady for a quick snap. Brady was happy to pose, but right afterward...the axe fell.

“Immediately after I took the picture, I got ran down by a supervisor,” Williams said. “They didn’t really give a reason. They said, you know, you’re wrong and you’re fired."
Contemporary Services Corporation, which handles staffing for Texans games, released a statement to KHOU which read: "It is strictly against CSC policy for its employees to request photos or autographs from players. CSC stands by its decision to terminate the two employees who violated this policy.”
Williams said he was already done with his duties for the day. Moore employed the "others do it, why can't we?" angle. Neither approach worked.

The two men are, for the moment, unemployed. It probably could have been worse. They could've asked Bill Belichick to pose.
