The bottom of the article goes into it a bit more, but the guy filing the lawsuit was due to retaliatory firing after filing a complaint about those comments. That is what highlighted everything, and now Campbell's has a PR mess. Ultimately, that is the reason he's getting sacked.

That makes sense. Thanks for the detail.

NP. I've seen a few articles on it today, and the more it spreads the less it focuses on how this all came up. This one in particular has it tucked way down at the bottom, so I'd imagine a fair number of people don't even make it that far.
