The network is worrying about Sponsors, Money and Ratings nothing more. This country is completely falling a part. They have been looking to get the Duck Dynasty guys on SOMETHING, ANYTHING and now they have. They couldn't handle his and his family's Christian beliefs and morals, I guess that's a bad thing What a load of crap.

They are losing money either way. They keep him on the show, they are losing money. They cut him lose, they are losing money. Its a lose-lose situation.

But the company isnt caring about money. They are caring about their value that they support everyone and wont tolerate discrimination.

By the way.................... It's MERRY CHRISTMAS not Happy Holidays. Now we can't say Merry Christmas anymore either?

Without sponsors the Duck Dynasty show never gets aired in the first place. All he had to say when asked about his stance on Homosexuality is "I'm a Christian and that's all I'm gonna say." Boom end of discussion no controversy. But he went on to talk about how he doesn't get why someone would want man ass instead of a vagina..... I feel no sympathy for someone that dumb

I didn't see that. seems a few caused a interest and the station panicked and took precautionary measures . I know a lot of gay people and not one were offended by it . They simply said . No problem he didn't say anything bad about us .

There are many Gay people that work at the Hotel I work at, I also didn't see or hear anything when it as all over the news in the Employee Dinning Room about what happened. Because most have the attitude, "I am what I am if you don't like it to bad" and what Phil Robertson said didn't matter to them. The Redskins name change is a joke as well.

He can say what he wants regardless, just like others can say what the want regardless. Those guys were huge before the TV show.

They don't support S$$T, they are running scarred so they don't have to deal with the backlash, it's not even funny how fast they ran when this happened.

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well my friend.

He has the right to say and do whatever he wants, youre right, and the company he works for, A&E, has the right to fire him for his views if the company doesnt agree with them.

Why dont you try talking about how much you hate gays at your job openly and see how long your employer keeps you employed.

You have a freedom of speech, but you dont have a freedom of consequences.
- theblueandgold

A&E has the right to fire him all he wants. But where does the fact that the media has painted him as a hillbilly whacko Christian that hates gays come into play (because that is actuall what this was about). Anyone that is a Christian is considered a whacko and behind the times b the liberal media. IMO we need more like Phil in this country and less like Nancy pelosi.

Theres negative press on both sides of the issue... theres a backlash no matter what decision they made. Like I said, they keep him on the show, they are an anti-gay supporting network. They drop him from the show, they are anti-christian and idiots who only care about money.

They'd rather be called someone who only cares about the money over being anti-gay. Not a bad trade off. They are losing more money than they would have had they done nothing because now its likely the end of the show.

Agree 1000% more morals and values regardless or religion and less of the Kartrashians and Myle Cyrus and others.

Right but what he said obviously was controversial. I mean come on, you have to admit he could have said something else.
As far as Kanye West's dumb ass goes, he said being a rapper was as dangerous as being a police officer, completely ridiculous and police officers were offended and if he had a show that targeted a certain demographic, I'm sure that station would have pulled him too

That psyco needs a enima with a drain cleaning machine.

Check the video again. Phil made the first move.

You better thing again my friend, the worst thing they could do is pull the show if he had one, you talk about backlash. They will pull Duck Dynasty but not Kanye's show if he had one.

I was waiting for the a&e bullpoop to start here. It's free speach, you either agree with what he says or you don't. That's all I have to say about that.

100% correct and all this crap shouldn't be happening because someone disagrees.

I would think we haven't heard the last of all this between A&E, Duck Dynasty and the Gay community on this issue. I think it's going to get worse from here.

That's no different than me spouting off on how I feel about something and losing my job. If he was too dumb to keep his mouth shut, then so be it. You reap what you sow.
