ESPN has reportedly suspended NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski without pay because he allegedly sent a controversial email to Missouri Senator Josh Hawley.
According to multiple reports, Woj replied “F*** you” to Hawley, which led to a suspension from ESPN.
Here are more details:
The site Outkick first reported that Wojnarowoski had been suspended.
For years now, Wojnarowski, first at Yahoo and now at ESPN, has been the top news breaker in the NBA. His signature reporting of moves ahead of his competition have become known as “Woj Bombs” on Twitter.
On Friday, Hawley, 40, posted a screenshot of Wojnarowski’s email, tweeting, “Don’t criticize #China or express support for law enforcement to @espn. It makes them real mad.”
Wojnarowski, 51, apologized soon after.
Wojnarowski has since apologized:
“I was disrespectful and I made a regrettable mistake,” Wojnarowski said in a statement. “I’m sorry for the way I handled myself and I am reaching out immediately to Senator Hawley to apologize directly. I also need to apologize to my ESPN colleagues because I know my actions were unacceptable and should not reflect on any of them.”
