ESPN's star NBA reporter apologizes for emailing 'F*** you' to Sen. Josh Hawley
publicly apologized on Friday for responding "F--- you" to a press release from the office of Sen. Josh Hawley criticizing the NBA for its association with China.
Hawley, a Missouri Republican, tweeted a screenshot of Wojnarowski replying with the message. Wojnarowski, who boasts 4 million followers on Twitter, is one of the top reporters covering basketball and the NBA and frequently breaks news about trades, free-agent signings, and other major developments.
The tweet set off a firestorm that resulted in the NBA's Chinese partners cutting ties with the league and the NBA distancing itself from Morey's comments, a move many commentators criticized at the time. After Hawley's tweet, both Wojnarowski and ESPN's public relations department issued apology statements for Wojnarowksi's email. . "I'm sorry for the way I handled myself and am reaching out 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."
ESPN further called Wojnarowksi cursing in response to Hawley's press release "completely unacceptable behavior"Hawley, however,"I want ESPN to ask the NBA why they won't let players stand up for America and be able to criticize China's actions," he said, adding, "Until ESPN speaks out, all they are really doing is enabling the Chinese Communist Party to stifle free speech in America."Something is loading.
