Shortly after it was announced by Sportsnet that Jeff Marek had been let go, fans began to speculate online as to the reasons behind the firing.
Sportsnet has refused to reveal the true reason behind Marek's departure, so fans decided to take things into their own hands and speculate as to why he's gone. Some went as far as saying Marek has taken on a job with TSN, the rivals of Sportsnet. Elliotte Friedman may have dropped a tiny clue just minutes after the NHL entry draft, saying Marek has to catch a "red eye". He didn't however give the reason as to why.
Social media was then flooded by fans opinions on what could have possibly happened to Jeff.
If and when Sportsnet decides to reveal the real reason behind Marek's firing, only then will rumors settle down. But until someone takes a stand and decides to be truthful to the public, they should expect nothing less. Hopefully at some point Marek will make a statement.
