It is with regret that I must inform you of our decision to terminate your contract with ESPN, effective immediately. After careful consideration and review of recent events, we have determined that your actions and public statements have violated ESPN’s principles and standards of conduct.
As you are aware, ESPN values diversity, inclusion, and respect for all individuals, regardless of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. We strive to create an environment where all employees and contributors feel safe, valued, and respected. Your recent comments, particularly those made on social media platforms, have been inconsistent with these values and have caused significant harm to our reputation as a company.
While we recognize and respect your right to express your opinions, we cannot condone language or behavior that promotes intolerance, discrimination, or hate. Your repeated use of inflammatory rhetoric and insensitive remarks have crossed a line that cannot be ignored.
Please be advised that your access to ESPN facilities, resources, and platforms will be revoked immediately. We will be in touch with details regarding the termination of your contract and any outstanding obligations or payments.
We understand that this decision may come as a disappointment, but it is essential for us to uphold the standards and values that define our company. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.
