ESPN’s president has heard just about enough from Bill Simmons.

“Bill would rather spin conspiracy theories and be perceived as a martyr than take responsibility for his own actions,” John Skipper told the New York Times. “Let me be unequivocal and clear and take responsibility for my actions: I alone made the decision, and it had nothing to do with his comments about the commissioner. I severed our relationship with Bill because of his repeated lack of respect for this company and, more importantly, the people who work here.”

Skipper’s broadside follows the publication of a sour-grapes Simmons interview last week in the Hollywood Reporter. Though Simmons accepted some blame for his bitter split from ESPN last year — “I acted like a brat a couple times, and there are things I could have handled better,” he said — the founder of The Ringer and soon-to-debut HBO talk-show host mostly would have you believe he spoke too much truth to power with provocative comments about the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell.

The “conspiracy theory” in Skipper’s barb refers to Simmons’ notion that Disney CEO Robert Iger’s cozy business relationship with the NFL was behind the network’s decision to censor Simmons’ criticism — and ultimately not renew his contract. Iger was involved in backing a proposed Los Angeles stadium that could have housed the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders.

“One of my working theories was, maybe this was driven by Iger because he wants a team,” Simmons said.

Simmons lamented to the Hollywood Reporter that it felt “f–king s—ty” to hear that his contract hadn’t been renewed from a separate outlet instead of his bosses.

“By the way they handled it, you would think I played grab-ass with some makeup assistant or something,” Simmons added.
