Behind the Scene Scandals That Took Place At ESPN
Biased Coverage Because of Money?

As of 2011, ESPN has had a deal with the NFL worth more than $15 billion. Whoa! Many criticize this financial relationship and say that it creates a conflict of interest for any kind of NFL coverage. Even Forbes magazine criticized the company. ESPN has long been accused of a pro-NFL bias especially when downplaying various crimes and scandals committed by owners and particular players. In 2015, it was reported that ESPN believes that the NFL gave them a bad Monday Night Football schedule to retaliate against comments by ESPN commentators Keith Olbermann and Bill Simmons, that criticized the NFL and the commissioner. Of course, ESPN got rid of both Olbermann and Simmons that year.
