Worker fired for hanging Bama flag on Kyle Field said he sabotaged stadium

[TexasTowelie]

SAN ANTONIO -- A construction worker who was fired this week for hanging a University of Alabama flag on Texas A&M University's Kyle Field suggested in several Facebook posts that he sabatoged the stadium.

"This stadium will never be ready for this season, I'm putting iron in backwards and wrong holing everything!!" Bobby Livingston posted on Facebook on Feb. 28, along with a photo of himself in a University of Alabama shirt.

Livingston, an ironworker who posted several pictures of himself working on site, is part of a crew making major renovations to Kyle Field in College Station.

In an April post, Livingston, 44, said: "If you ever attend a Texas A&M football game, don't sit at the Northeast End Zone, it was raining today and I made 2 very "questionable" welds!!"

A cautionary tale for us all.

3. I hope he has backup career choice. -

He's not likely to be working as an ironworker much longer.

Paul Hawryluk, director of facility services for Raba Kistner Engineering, the inspector for the Kyle Field renovation, told KBTX that the construction is safe and up to standards.

"All steel fabrication has been observed and critical welds tested/verified at the plants by the third party firm, Raba Kistner Engineering. Once delivered to the site, field welds, moment connections, and bolt torquing are tested/verified in accordance to building code and engineering specification by the third party inspectors. Structural engineers of record review the inspection reports as well as conduct site observation/review of the in place steel," Hawryluk said in a statement to KBTX.

7. His facebook page was full of nasty racist rants,

Including use of the N word. Everyone who once tried to defend him in his firing is running from him. He's not worth being associated with.
