For the sports fans among us there is almost no way to conceive of a world without ESPN. ESPN has been THE place to go for major sporting news since it was founded in 1978. Since its inception ESPN has been there for some major high points as well as a few very major low points. Today we are looking at some scandals that rocked ESPN and came close to destroying the network!
Chris Berman’s Harassment Case
You don’t need to get any sort of masters degree online to know that Chris Berman is one of the biggest faces of the ESPN network. Yet, his career and involvement with the studio was nearly undone in 2015 when a sexual harassment claim was filed against him. The claim was settled out of court and an explosive situation was brushed under the rug.

Harold Reynolds Infamous Hug
Harold Reynolds is a legendary MLB analyst and was a steady part of the ESPN rotation until he vanished from the network in 2006. Apparently Reynolds hugged a coworker without permission or consent. ESPN’s policy is strict: no unwanted touching. As a result, Reynolds was quickly snatched up by the MLB Network and has been there ever since.
