NFT: ESPN: Shitty place for women to work

But others are speaking openly. In her complaint, Adrienne Lawrence describes a toxic environment at ESPN headquarters where men make unwanted sexual and romantic advances under the guise of networking or mentoring, and “mark” women as their own by spreading false rumors about sexual relationships with female employees.

Lawrence accused John Buccigross, a longtime SportsCenter anchor whom she viewed as a mentor, of sending unsolicited shirtless photographs of himself and calling her “dollface,” “#dreamgirl,” and “#longlegs” in messages from 2016 reviewed by the Globe. Lawrence said she tried to remain cordial in the messages but at one point responded: “You need to wear clothes, sir.”

she did some freelance work for them a decade ago and told me it was out of control there. I think we will hear some big names from there in the news soon...

Mike Tirico,the play by play guy, was outed for being a particularly gross offender.
Tirico surprised me

Is he married?
Sara Walsh

What they did to Walsh is despicable. She should sue them for a fortune. She was a great on TV.

And Lindsay Csnariak too. Showing her the door after getting pregnant for that garbage SC6?

ESPN is complete garbage and has completely lost its way.

had to be one of the mist insufferable clowns they ever put on the air.
if anyone read

Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN by James Andrew Miller, it details about Tirico's past.

I highly recommend the book. It's an incredible oral history by perhaps the best in the business, Miller, who also wrote similar books about SNL and CAA.
