Behind the Scene Scandals That Took Place At ESPN

Sean Salisbury

In 2006, it was reported that ESPN NFL analyst Sean Salisbury had been suspended. At the time the reasons were undisclosed. Later CBS Sports reported that he had been suspended for taking an inappropriate cell phone pictures of himself and showed it to “numerous, uncomfortable women”. Salisbury denied that this happened yet it was still widely reported around various sites on the internet, including Gawker and Deadspin. Later Deadspin also reported that Salisbury was fired from a radio station job in Dallas, allegedly for “[freaking]out a station promo girl after sexting her.” After this, Salisbury must have been pushed to the edge because he sued Gawker Media and Deadspin editor A.J. Daulerio for defamation of character.
