ESPN is the king of sports network TV. Most of us can’t imagine the world without this major network! Since its founding in 1978, ESPN has had major highs, but it’s also had some major lows. Take a look at a few scandals that almost made the network come crashing down!

Chris Berman’s 2015 Scandal

If you watch ESPN, you know Chris Berman as one of the network’s biggest faces. He’s been with the network since 1979, but all of that was nearly undone in 2015. That year, he was accused of sexual harassment, and a claim was even filed against him. The case was settled, however, and didn’t go to court in the end – and we haven’t heard about it since.

Huggy Harold Reynolds

Nowadays, you recognize Harold Reynolds from the MLB Network, but if you used to watch ESPN way back in the day (ok…2006), you might remember Reynolds’ face on your screen. Well, we’ve got the scoop about his sudden disappearance from the network. Allegedly, Reynolds hugged a colleague – but failed to get permission or consent. ESPN has a strict no-tolerance policy for unwanted touching, so Reynolds got the axe.
