Behind the Scene Scandals That Took Place At ESPN

Hiding Truth About Head Injuries

The New York Times reported that after a meeting between ESPN executives and the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, that ESPN got rid of their partnership on the PBS series Frontline on the 2013 documentary League of Denial. The documentary detailed the history of head injuries in the NFL, and the connection between head injuries and brain disease. ESPN denied they did this because of pressure from the NFL but rather because they lacked editorial control.
