Texans' firing of Amy Palcic angers NFL community

Texans fired VP of Communications Amy Palcic, telling her she no longer was "a cultural fit", per sources. Palcic was the first and only woman to have full PR responsibilities for an NFL team. She was the winner of the 2017 Rozelle Award for best PR staff. She is widely respected

When JJ Watt wanted to help after Hurricane Harvey he immediately sought Amy’s guidance. He would soon raise $41.6 million. Amy is the absolute best and almost everyone in the NFL orbit knows it. https://t.co/j8mT6Mx88w

the BS “cultural fit” the @HoustonTexans are talking about is that Amy cares more for the players than the organization does. anyone in the NFL knows she’s one of the best at her job, hence the Texans couldn’t cite her performance. but bad organizations always find a way to lose. https://t.co/awWSjdz4lq

When Texans lost to KC in the playoffs after blowing a massive lead, every player stood for questions; was polite, insightful and accountable. That’s the effect Amy has on an org. She brings out the best in people. Horrendously stupid decision by Houston. One of many recently. https://t.co/Vonwzi3lRJ

This is a huge loss for the @NFL She is one of the best in the business. @amypalcic will be a great addition to wherever she lands next. Really shocked by this. https://t.co/CfsCgTzulc
