T-Mobile CEO Apologizes For Saying Competition “Raping” Customers

If you’re American and you’re on T-Mobile, you might want to take your business elsewhere. T-Mobile CEO John Legere was caught by Bustle among others saying this among other things:

These high and mighty duopolists that are raping you for every penny you have…the fuckers hate you.

Really? A rape metaphor from a CEO of a major corporation? If I were a T-Mobile customer, I’d break my contract to go with some other carrier. I guess that Legere either figured that out on his own, or more likely some PR droid told him that his comments were ill advised. This Tweet then appeared:

Really? Apologizing on Twitter doesn’t cut it. How about a news conference where you have to apologize for your tasteless comments and have to own up to them completely? That would show that you have a pair? This apology smells of cowardice. Total and absolute cowardice. Given this response, I say dump T-Mobile and show Legere that consumers will express their displeasure over this fiasco by moving their dollars elsewhere.
