Behind the Scene Scandals That Took Place At ESPN

Refusing to Report

When Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was publicly accused of sexual assault, ESPN came under fire for refusing to report on the story. Andrea McNulty filed a civil lawsuit against Roethlisberger, claiming that was accused of sexual assault in a civil lawsuit filed by a casino hostess named Andrea McNulty. ESPN claimed the case was a private matter, and that no criminal charges had been filed. However, ESPN had clearly reported on civil cases in the past. ESPN’s actions once again garnered criticism with many saying that they were engaging in poor journalistic practices.
