fuck fuck fuck that's not good
Why?
EDIT: It most likely got to do with NFL failed bid and how his family hated the winter.

He's barely even started. Wtf.
Looking for a new challenge? He hasn't fucking done much of anything at MLSE. Especially with the Leafs. Lol what a joke.

Friedman's tweets
Hearing MLSE president/CEO Tim Leiweke will be leaving the company soon.Not sure of where he's going, but hearing the reason is he is looking for a new challenge.
According to Friedman, he is looking for new challenges.
Looks like we're done for. It was nice while it lasted but this team is horrendous news for this team.
We knew that was coming. I heard months back that he wasn't happy with the board, felt Tannenbaum was difficult. Not sure if any of that was true, but now that he's leaving I'm not surprised. Also don't think Toronto was big enough for him, and the winter certainly effected him. He'll probably return to LA.
Wow... things are going to get interesting on the TFC front.
Come on...
New challenge is bollocks. His wife probably threatned to divorce him if she has to put up with another winter here.
Maybe the failed NFL bid?
So what's going to happen with BMO field expansion now?
The winter. The winter? The winter!
Oh for the love of fuck.
Probably running into a brick wall trying to make meaningful changes at the Leafs didn't help either. Whatever it is, it's a first class catastrophe for TFC and probably for the Raptors too.
Friedman is talking on Fan590 now
I guess this explains why we haven't seen anything on the Stadium front for a long time.
Cue the new director who guts the team and we're left with the same old crap. Just when I started enjoying watching this club and the direction it was going in.
The "new challenge" thing will make me extremely angry, if he tries to use it. He bought two expensive footballers, pushed through a stadium renovation bid for TFC, and... what else, exactly? The Raptors made the first round of the NBA playoffs, I guess? I was mostly satisfied with the job he had been doing, but it was far (FAR) from complete.
If it's the board, or the climate, then I hope he just says so. He won't, of course. He'll give the "new challenge" boilerplate, or something similar, and then maybe two years from now, make some oblique comment about the real reason to a reporter.
Anyway, I'll wait to see who the replacement is, before I declare anything doomed.

Bobcat saying there's whispers about him running the Clippers, and that his wife has already moved back to SoCal.

Bob McCown @FadooBobcat7 minsLeiweke about to move back to LA to run the Clippers? Whisper won't go away. Wife moved back to So. Cal. already. #wehatewinter
You gotta figure ticket prices take a huge jump if it's an anselmi type replacing him.
