Glad the Nats Got Rid of Centerplate Concessions

Their CEO was caught on camera repeatedly kicking a puppy.  Then he lied, said it was out of character, and that it was a friend's dog.  Turns out it was his dog, and the dog shows evidence of prior abuse.  Don't watch unless you have a strong stomach: 

Here's one take on it from SI:

If he could do this to a defenseless puppy, gotta wonder how this guy treats his family and his employees?

The Nats got rid of Centerplate after 2008.  But I found out that Centerplate currently handles concessions at FedEx.  Other NFL teams who use Centerplate have gotten blowback from fans who say they will not purchase any concessions at the stadium until Centerplate fires this guy.  Will be interesting to see if there's any flak locally.

That seemed pretty disgusting.

I agree that it speaks volumes about his lack of character and how he no doubt treats humans too. 

Patterson his ass.
