"Longtime ESPN Executive Norby Williamson Departs After 40 Years"
Norby Williamson, an influential ESPN executive for nearly four decades, is leaving the company immediately, as announced in an ESPN staff memo. ESPN president of content Burke Magnus made the decision, citing a need for a different direction. Williamson's recent involvement in a controversy with Pat McAfee was said to have no bearing on the decision. A search for a new senior content executive is underway, and it's speculated that multiple people might fill Williamson's role.
