Megan Barnard, a reporter for Fox Sports, was the victim of insensitive comments made by one of her colleagues, Tom Morris.
The comments went public via a leaked video, and Tom was sacked from his position at the network after an investigation into the situation. “Our culture at Fox Sports is based on a respectful, inclusive environment and a fair go for all,” Fox Sports’ executive director said. “While Tom’s journalism has made a valuable contribution to Fox Sports over the past seven years, the message we became aware of yesterday crossed the line.
The bottom line is we are committed to a work environment where everyone can come to work in the knowledge that they are safe, respected and valued.” On March 18, after being fired, Tom took to social media to break his silence on the situation. “I would like to unconditionally apologize to everyone for my disgusting and disgraceful comments, which became public yesterday,” Tom wrote. “I am especially sorry to the person involved.
No one should ever, in any place, or at any time, be spoken about in that way. I am deeply ashamed at my behavior. My comments were hurtful to many and I will now take the time to listen, learn and work to improve myself, ensuring that I become a better person.
