Ex-Giants great: I was a victim of ESPN’s double standard

If Jason Sehorn knows what ESPN literally stands for, he doesn’t know what it truly stands for.

The former Giants star cornerback who had worked at the Worldwide Leader since 2011, until parting recently, wants to know why he was told to stay away from politics for a network that he feels increasingly allows politics to seep into the broadcast.

Sehorn, who was a college football analyst for ESPNU, spoke at the 2004 Republican National Convention on behalf of George W. Bush.

“ESPN stands for Entertainment, Sports, Programming Network. Neither one of these is entertainment or sports,” Sehorn said Thursday on “Fox and Friends,” in response to the Jemele Hill controversy, in which the “SportsCenter” anchor called President Trump a white supremacist on Twitter.
