Sportsnet and Rogers Media are reporting that former Major League Baseball player and TV analyst Gregg Zaun has been fired.
According to Rick Brace, president of Rogers Media, Zaun’s termination comes following allegations of inappropriate behaviour in the workplace.
In an email sent to employees and read by Bob McCown on Sportnet's radio talk show Prime Time Sports, Brace said the following:
“This week, we received complaints from multiple female employees at Sportsnet regarding inappropriate behaviour and comments by Gregg Zaun in the workplace. After investigating the matter, we decided to terminate his contract, effective immediately. This type of behaviour completely contradicts our standards and our core values. We believe in a professional workplace where all employees feel comfortable and respected. We are grateful to our employees who spoke with us and we will take every measure to protect their privacy.”
