John Skipper Reveals . . .

Well, Travis' company is already there.....

Radio giant iHeartMedia files for bankruptcy

 

The optics of firing someone whose addiction issues are new to the public would be bad. I’m sure his contract gave ESPN the flexibility to do so, though.

And sure, he should sue Travis. The second Travis gets deposed, he’ll be crapping his pants.

 

The funny thing is ... who is the coke dealer who would know who John Skipper is?

 

The U.S. is basically a fire at will country. There are very few legal protections for employees. Perhaps a union contract would offer protection but there are very few legal protections for employees. I have worked outside the United States and citizens of other countries are shocked at the absence of such protections when they are exposed to the U.S. labor code. For example, if you are laid off in virtually any country in the world you will receive a government mandated severance fom the employer but not in the U.S.

 

It depends on his contract. I’m sure he had a well negotiated cause definition. While illegal drug use is often a cause event, they may have agreed to something whereby he had to be charged with a crime in order to trigger that provision.

However, engaging in activities which would bring the employer into material disrepute is often a cause event and the blackmail plot could fit into that bucket.

Basically, it looks like they agreed that he would jump before Disney figured out if they could push him.

 

Also, HOW did the coke dealer come to find out Skipper's identity? Did he run out of cash and swipe his credit card in the dealer's square? Did they do lines together and get to talking and Skipper told him who he was? Did the dealer write down Skipper's license plate number and research from there? I would have enjoyed the interview much more had it included that info considering Skipper was so open and honest and all ...

 

I’m betting the coke dealer was Dave Portnoy and that’s why Barstool Van Talk was cancelled after only one show

 

LOL, what are the timelines for those events ...

 

Van Talk got cancelled oct. 23, skipper bought blow from a rando and got extorted in mid December.

 

Is horking rails off a hooker's ass part of the storyline? Think it has to be.

Even if it isn't, your timeline is pretty good.

 

I've never watched Barstool Sports and doubt I would but this is pretty interesting.
