I still don't understand what Easterbrook was trying to say when he brought up the fact that Eisner and Weinstein are Jewish. I don't think it was anti-semitic but it was certainly ill-conceived, as he admits.
His firing at ESPN should come as no surprise. Generally, when you publicly criticize your boss, your days are numbered.
But I don't think Easterbrook's case is as bad as Limbaugh's and I'm pretty sure he will be able to put this behind him and continue his work without ESPN.
