A week ago ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum expressed intentions to leave his job and run for the U.S. Senate in the state of Alabama. Now, it appears as though he has lost his position as a result of his political desires, per Nick Kosko of On3Sports.com.
According to Clay Travis of Outkick, ESPN and it's parent company Disney let go Finebaum as a result of his recent interview with Travis about his political plans.
“Per sources: Disney/ESPN has removed (Paul Finebaum) from appearing on EPSN since his OutKick interview expressing interest in running as a Republican for senate in Alabama,” Travis wrote on Twitter/X. “ESPN has canceled all network appearances on all shows, including some that have occurred for a decade plus. Finebaum is not an announced candidate for Alabama senate yet.
