Behind the Scene Scandals That Took Place At ESPN

Is ESPN Sexist & Discriminatory?

During the coverage of 2006 WNBA Finals, ESPN was widely criticized by fans and even coaches by the way the WNBA was presented. The head coach of the Detroit Shock team, Bill Laimbeer, who also happens to be a former ESPN NBA analyst, was extremely perturbed by this and was quoted by the Detroit Free Press. Bill said, “I just hear from our family and friends back home that, ‘Boy, ESPN is killing you guys,’ … ‘And (Nancy) Lieberman and Doris Burke are just trashing you left and right.’ Not only me, but also some of our players on our ballclub. … We’re telling ESPN today to basically stick it.”
