    If you read the release letter... This isn't for how he ran the network, exactly.

    LOL at Horowitz getting shitcanned.
    LOL at BYH messing up the tweet.

    so how is that website supposed to work on the weekends, when there is breaking sports news, and the braying hot take hyenas are off?

    What the heck did he do??

    Dear Colleagues:

    I regret to inform you that Jamie Horowitz, President of National Networks for FOX Sports, will be leaving FOX Sports effective immediately. We realize this news may come as a surprise for many of you, but we are confident in this decision.

    Everyone at FOX Sports, no matter what role we play, or what business, function or show we contribute to -- should act with respect and adhere to professional conduct at all times. These values are non-negotiable.

    Until Jamie’s replacement is named, I am stepping in to handle his former responsibilities including programming, marketing and scheduling for FS1 and FS2, as well as digital. All of these functions will now report directly to me.

    We understand how difficult this will be for many of you, but in these times it is important that we remain unwavering and focused in continuing the great work of FOX Sports.

    Best,
    Eric

    Do I understand this right? He fired all the writers, did a complete restructuring, then gets the boot. Nice planning there, Fox.

    Sounds like he embraced more than debate.

    Maybe someone was disgruntled about the way the layoffs went down so they complain about the sexual harassment?

    All you have to do at Fox these days to keep your job is: Just don't pinch a girl's ass. One thing.

    Maybe he thought all the sexual harassers there got multi-million dollar parting gifts.

    Did FOX Sports decide to replace Jamie Horowitz with video content?
