At a meeting with reporters earlier this month, Pitaro emphasized that ESPN's role is to cover sports news without any particular political bias, the report said.  The executive reportedly said he would prefer that the company's journalists and commentators not offer their own opinions on political matters.

They may choose to not do anything. It depends if he is a full-on employee, or contracted for freelance work. If it’s the former, he likely has to do something stupid or leave on his own accord. If it’s the latter, they will probably wait to not renew his contract at the end, or he shapes up.

After telling tens of millions of Americans every single day that we are irredeemable racistsexisthomophobes and that was the end of the discussion, suddenly they don't want to have any particular political bias? Fascinating.

She is an idiot plain and simple. I don't even know how she was hired by espn in the first place, oh wait, I do. When she did talk about sports she had no fricking idea what she was even talking about.
