They probably asked him to take that stand. He may have spiced it up but they likely knew prior to the show.

He said all the same things in the pre-show run down. ESPN tacitly condoned what he said by allowing it to re-air and then making it available online. Only after huge backlash was he let go.

ESPN basically orchestrated the controversy and let him take the fall.

the producers knew what he was going to say

that show is all but scripted and planned in meetings beforehand

if it was that big of a deal, it should have never been approved. the person who approved it should be the one taking the heat, not the lackey parker
