Cavs fan fired from job after cursing Steph Curry's sister, daughter on Twitter
Was it really worth it, dude?
A Cleveland Cavaliers fan has been fired from his real estate job after cursing out the little sister of Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry on Twitter.
The fan, who uses the Twitter handle @SoftCaramelKiss, has since deleted the tweet that got him fired. Before Game 3 of the NBA Finals in Cleveland, he tweeted at Sydel Curry, "You and your whole family get the fuck out of Cleveland," and made an obscene comment about Riley Curry.

Sydel Curry is the 21-year-old sister of Golden State's back-to-back MVP point guard. Riley is his 3-year-old daughter.
Other Twitter users quickly deduced that @SoftCaramelKiss works for the Holton-Wise Property Group, an Ohio real estate company. The company immediately began apologizing to offended Twitter users on Wednesday night.
On Thursday morning, Holton-Wise owner James Wise shared a letter apologizing to the Curry family and saying the former employee known as @SoftCaramelKiss had been "immediately terminated."
Not that he seemed too bothered by it all.
Well then.
If you squint, you can see @SoftCaramelKiss riding off into the sunset now, a rebel without a clue.
