Shannon Sharpe’s expected exit from Undisputed on FS1 has made waves in the sports media industry, as the former tight end has been on the network since 2016. While the reasoning for his departure isn’t public, many believe it’s because Sharpe has had enough working with personality Skip Bayless.
On social media, Sharpe did not temper that idea with his Twitter likes, instead seemingly fanning the flames that he believes he is the better part of the show. Sharpe liked several tweets praising him for his work on the show, as many people argued they only watched the show for him and not Bayless.
@FS1 keeping @RealSkipBayless and losing @JennyTaft @ShannonSharpe is like a music promoter keeping Weird Al Yankovic but getting rid of Lady Gaga and James Brown.
