Tom Morris is reportedly not eyeing a move to London after his sacking by Fox Sports
Tom Morris is not eyeing a move to London, with the disgraced Fox Footy journalist reportedly keeping a low profile after a series of ‘disgusting’ messages were leaked from his WhatsApp.
The reporter was sacked by Fox Sports earlier this month after an internal investigation determined he ‘crossed a line’ when he made disgraceful comments about colleague Megan Barnard’s sexuality.
A second leaked clip saw Morris make disparaging comments about women, Asians, black people and homosexuals.
The sports journalist posted a tweet shortly after Fox Sports announced his departure.
‘I would like to unconditionally apologise to everyone for my disgusting and disgraceful comments, which became public yesterday,’ he wrote.
‘I am especially sorry to the person involved. No one should ever, in any place, or at any time, be spoken about in the way.
‘I am deeply ashamed at my behaviour. My comments were hurtful to many and I will now take the time to listen, learn and work to improve myself, ensuring that I become a better person. I am truly sorry to everyone.’
Reports this week suggested that Morris’s future could lie in England, but The Herald Sun believes he is keeping a low profile while he plots his next move.
Morris, who is described as ‘very remorseful’, is reportedly speaking to experts, doing charity work and undertaking an online education course during his time away from the spotlight.

‘Our culture at Fox Sports is based on a respectful, inclusive environment and a fair go for all,’ Steve Crawley, Fox Sports Executive Director said after Morris’s departure.
‘While Tom’s journalism has made a valuable contribution to Fox Sports over the past seven years, the message we became aware of yesterday crossed the line. It was unacceptable.
