For him to get fired shows that ESPN no longer values loyalty or sports knowledge. It's a shame. T


Do a lot of billion dollar companies value loyalty over profitability?

False choice. One, you assume that Howie Schwab is preventing ESPN from being profitable, which I highly doubt. Secondly, continually cutting jobs to raise the stock price is a terrible business practice in the long run because you fire people who know what they are doing. The fact that we value companies more highly for doing so is kind of sick and misguided, but that's another discussion.

Finally, I'm not a stockholder in ESPN, so I don't give a shite about their stock price. I'm a consumer and care about their quality of product.... which got worse with this decision. That's what I care about.
