A Woman of Substance.
Or perhaps, a “Substantial” Woman?

Substance addiction would explain a lot about what’s been happening at ESPN.

Obviously, he is addicted to Obama’s gray mulatto beaver.

Not a big fan of the guy, but it sure is sad to watch a person with a lot going for them, destroy themselves with substance abuse. Talk about an unforced error...

Addicted to liberalism.
The only explanation why he’d embrace a business model of hiring SJWs that hate most of his viewers and then fire the “talent” that doesn’t embrace the group think.

Must be pretty widely known, as such honesty is a bit rare.
One suspects that Mister Skipper's "issue" is not an isolated one within the once great and now crumbling ESPN.

He’s a Democrat so interns would be my guess. He had tremendous power in that job. Nearly all women starting out and wanting a career in entertainment sports broadcasting would have been receptive to his advances.

If I’m on the Disney board I am duty bound to protect the shareholders by asking if this information was unknown during the last round of contract talks ie Skipper re-upped recently. I am also duty bound to ask if Skipper will be compensated, how much and for how long if he voluntarily steps down but especially for medical issues. In other words, he may have a clinical problem but blaming addiction may keep him (more) in the money.

Holy cripes Jack Dorsey of Twitter infamy is on the Disney board! He couldn’t lead a robber to a bank.
