File this under just because you are a great athlete doesn't mean you are qualified to actually be in charge of anything category. No problem with the firings bit at least have the guts to do it yourself.

I'm guessing he fired Sampson himself, a direct report to Jeter, or would be once the sale is approved. It was up to Samson to fire his direct reports.
I don't have any issue with this at all...it's following the chain of command and was done properly. Guts has nothing to do with it...ain't nobody got time to fire everybody in the organization...nor should they.
