FC Barcelona plays in the premier A league. The two teams playing play the B league. My guess would be no they are just saying to to racism by firing her.

Thank you, now it makes sense.
Depending on your position in a corporation or career it can and sometimes matter very much what you do on your own time. You may directly be the face of the company and clients may not look favorable at the behavior regardless if it's outside 0f work hours.

A city business owner was left with a sock full of fake cash and no money in her register after a man claiming to be from Africa scammed her last week, according to police.
The scam began earlier this month when a man identifying himself as "Derrick" entered the Martinez Meat Market on Southwest Boulevard.
Police describe the suspect as dark skinned, approximately 38 years old and wearing a suit.
According to reports, Derrick claimed to be visiting from Africa and asked owner Socorro Torres if she was interested in selling her business.
Derrick told Torres that he received a large sum of money after his father died in Africa and produced a sock from his waistband to show the business owner.
Inside the sock was $10,000, according to reports.
"Torres stated she agreed to sell the business at which time Derrick provided her with a phone number (646-593-4085) and informed her that he would be in touch," the police report states.
The business owner quickly began to receive phone calls from men with "African accents," police said, claiming to be brothers of Derrick and asking if he bought the business yet.
"She refused to speak with them about it because they had nothing to do with the purchase," the police report stated. "Derrick then contacted her and advised her not to provide them with any information."
During the phone call, Derrick also advised Torres not to contact the police because he could be arrested for the large sum on money, deported back to Africa and "executed" upon his return.
About a week ago, police said, a black man with an African accent and whiskers tattooed onto his face entered the business.
The man identified himself as Derrick's brother and questioned her about the purchase, although he advised her that the purchase has not been made yet.
Derrick came back to Martinez Meat Market on July 17, police said, while in possession of the sock that previously contained $10,000.
The sock was for a down payment on the business, Derrick told Torres, and he would bring the rest of the money the next day.
"After handing Torres the sock, he requested all the money in the cash register since the business was now his," the police report stated. "Torres stated she handed the money from the cash register over to Derrick at which time Derrick left."
After he left, Torres opened up the sock that purportedly contained the $10,000 down payment.
However, the sock no longer contained any money.
Instead, the sock "was filled with wet construction paper cut in the shape of money," according to reports.
There are no suspects at this time in the theft by deception, police said.

A Florida man pulled over for speeding allegedly called 911 to report a potential murder to avoid getting a ticket, authorities said.
Julius Lupowitz was pulled over by a police officer Thursday in West Melbourne, Florida, for driving over the speed limit.
According to police, when the officer turned his back, Lupowitz, 52, dialed 911.
Theres definitely someone going to get shot. Please, please. Wingate and Hollywood. Please, a man says on the 911 call released by officials. There's a man with a gun. I see him looking at me but I don't think he sees I'm on a cell phone. I swear I'm so scared I might get killed myself. Please.
Police officers were dispatched to the scene, but the officer who originally pulled over Lupowitz stayed put.
We responded as if it was real, said West Melbourne Police Lt. Richard Cordeau. We don't know any different until we got there.
911 dispatchers who had, in the meantime, tracked down the name of the caller announced it over the police radio, which alerted the officer standing next to Lupowitz.
Our officer was standing at the door of Mr. Lupowitz's vehicle and realized, at that point, that this was the same person that was making the 911 calls, said Lt. Cordeau.
Instead of a $200 traffic ticket, Lupowitz is, according to authorities, now facing a felony charge with a five-year maximum prison term.

'Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee.
(Now I know why they record these conversations!):
Operator: 'Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?'
Caller: 'Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect ..'
Operator: 'What sort of trouble?'
Caller: 'Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.'
Operator: 'Went
away?'
Caller: 'They disappeared'
Operator: 'Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?'
Caller: 'Nothing.'
Operator: 'Nothing??'
Caller: 'It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type.'
Operator: 'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?'
Caller: 'How do I tell?'
Operator: 'Can you see the 'C: prompt' on the
screen?'
Caller: 'What's a sea-prompt?'
Operator: 'Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?'
Caller: 'There isn't any cursor; I told you, it won't accept anything I type.'
Operator: 'Does your monitor have a power indicator?'
Caller: 'What's a monitor?'
Operator: 'It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?'
Caller: 'I don't know.'
Operator: 'Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?'
Caller: 'Yes, I think so.'
Opera tor: 'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall..
Caller: 'Yes, it is.'
Operator: 'When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just
one?'
Caller: 'No.'
Operator: 'Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.'
Caller: 'Okay, here it is.'
Operator: 'Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer.'
Caller: 'I can't reach.'
Operator: 'OK. Well, can you see if it is?'
Caller: 'No...'
Operator:
'Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?'
Caller: 'Well, it's not because I don't have the right angle -- it's because it's dark.'
Operator: 'Dark?'
Caller: 'Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.'
Operator: 'Well, turn on the office light then.'
Caller: 'I can't..'
Operator: 'No? Why
not?'
Caller: 'Because there's a power failure.'
Operator: 'A power .... A power failure? Aha. Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff that your computer came in?'
Caller: 'Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.'
Operator: 'Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.'
Caller: 'Really? Is it that
bad?'
Operator: 'Yes, I'm afraid it is.'
Caller: 'Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?'
Operator: 'Tell them you're too damned stupid to own a computer!'
