To fire a public figure as likable as Abbey Chin is a dumb move.
I hope there is a backlash and they undo this (though she may leave now that they've dumped her). Boston has been filled with ego maniac media dudes spewing hate quite often about their local teams. It's refreshing to see someone with good positive energy, albeit not in the realm of opinion "journalism" (quotes around journalism for Felger...and maybe a few others)....you keep people like Abbey Chin.
Apparently the decision came down from NBC Universal.
I'm sure the logic is that because of social distancing and the bubble, there's no need for a sideline reporter...but when you have talented people who work hard, are charismatic and are committed, you try to find a way to keep them. I'm sure there won't be any shortage of job offers for her but I will miss her, she's been a part of the Celtics viewing experience, just like the rest of the NBCSB crew.
As for Sherrod, apparently he's taking up a teaching job at BU or somewhere local in the fall?
