ESPN is a piece of shit network that doesn’t care how their employees act off camera.. that is up until the point where it reflects on ESPN.
ESPN Assholes Knew About Abusive Britt McHenry Tirade Before It Went Public – Didn’t Punish McHenry Until Backlash Started
ESPN knew about the over the abusive comments that Britt McHenry hurled at the tow company clerk before the video was released to the public, and only suspended the stupid bitch after the backlash started against McHenry and the ESPN network.
ESPN only suspended Britt McHenry for a week for her abusive treatment, instead of firing her, which they should have done before the video was released to the public.
These ESPN suspensions are total bullshit – ESPN needs to be suspended for a while for their non-action when one of their employees are caught doing things that they know would make ESPN look bad. One thing is for sure, and that is that ESPN has proved that they cannot be trusted to do what’s right.
Good thing that ESPN is not the only network where we can get sports coverage, because any network that employs assholes like Britt McHenry and Keith Olbermann is no network that I will be watching.
If I was another ESPN employee who doesn’t do stupid shit, I’d be pretty pissed that the network keeps these clowns around, making them all look bad. I’d also be pushing for the permanent removal of the above mentioned people who are giving the network a bad name.
ESPN tells Breitbart News that the network became aware of Britt McHenry’s abusive comments toward a woman at an Arlington, Virginia, tow company only after other outlets reported on it.
On Thursday, a video surfaced of ESPN reporter Britt McHenry verbally attacking an employee of a tow company, which resulted in a one-week suspension of McHenry, effective immediately. The reporter ridiculed the Advanced Towing employee’s teeth, weight, job, and educational background as she boasted of her status on television. McHenry has since apologized on Twitter.
A spokesman at ESPN told Breitbart News on Friday, “ESPN was made aware of this issue last week after a story ran about it.”
McHenry last appeared on TV for ESPN Wednesday, interviewing Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin, making it appear that they waited until the video surfaced to suspend her. McHenry was towed on April 5.
McHenry is one of many ESPN personalities to be suspended in recent years. The network suspended Keith Olbermann for a week after he called Penn State’s annual pediatric cancer fundraiser “pitiful.” ESPN sent Stephen A. Smith home, also for a week, after he instructed women not “to provoke wrong actions” in a discussion on domestic violence. Tony Kornheiser was suspended for two weeks after calling a coworker’s outfit “horrifying” on the air. Rob Parker got suspended for 30 days for calling Robert Griffin III a “cornball brother.” The network declined to renew his contract when it expired.
