The Los Angeles Times has reported that Dodger owner, Frank McCourt has fired his estranged wife and team CEO, Jamie McCourt for "insubordination, non-responsiveness, failure to follow procedures, and inappropriate behavior with a direct subordinate."
Of course, one really REALLY big problem here is that Jamie McCourt claims to be a co-owner of the team by virtue of the team being a marital asset.
Mr. McCourt's letter to his former CEO also advises her to contact team human resources personnel to arrange "a time and date to gather your personal belongings."
Wow! He tells his wife to go to freaking Human Resources to get a box to pack up her belongings and who knows maybe schedule an exit interview? This is classic.
Ummm Frank, she says that she is part-owner of the team. I don't think that she is going to go ask to see Cassie in Human Resources who is the person there that has all the boxes for a cardboard box so she can load up her nameplate, paperweights, desk calendar etc. Dude, obviously your and her attorneys are going to be talking for quite a long time here and I don't have any personal experience with this but I know one thing and that is she is not going to pick up that box. That is not happening. Nice try though.
Oh, and I wouldn't try and have security escort her from the building because she could just fire them and then you are back where you started.
Look, just about every divorce is a tragedy and usually something to stay out of if you are not directly involved but this one sure has a colossal "train-wreck" aspect to it which makes it frankly impossible to avert your eyes. Mine anyway.
No matter how much you try to look for positives here this one just does not have an "amicable divorce" vibe to it.
It just doesn't.
