UPDATE: Shannon Sharpe appeared on Skip and Shannon: Undisputed this morning, and Skip Bayless confirmed he would not delete the tweet, and Sharpe illuded to our breaking story last night. As we said, the executives and Sharpe are not happy.
The original story below [January 3, 2023, at 9 PM PST]:
FACTZ has learned FOX Sports One (FS1) executives met today to discuss the options for Skip Bayless’ insensitive tweet. We were told the following:
- A final decision will not be made until Monday.
- A discussion of termination was made.
- Shannon Sharpe is not part of the discussions.
- No decision to cancel the show was made.
From what it sounded like. Shannon Sharpe is not a happy camper.
Skip and Shannon: Undisputed on FS1 only has a viewership of 160,000 on average.
Calls Rise for Skip Bayless to be Fired After Twisted Damar Hamlin Tweet
Shannon wasn’t on the show this morning. Red flag already.
It’s about time. Long overdue. This was disgusting.
Skip should have been fired in season one. His old ass is mean.
Skip sealed his faith with that heartless tweet.
