ESPN’s Decision to Fire Paul Pierce Is So Over the Top: TRAINA THOUGHTS

1. Talk about a ridiculous overreaction.

A couple of days after Paul Pierce went on Instagram Live while enjoying the company of some scantily clad women showing off their twerking skills, ESPN fired the NBA analyst who had worked on NBA Countdown and The Jump.

It goes without saying that what Pierce did was beyond dumb. The guy worked for Disney and had to know the company wouldn’t be happy about a host representing them that way.

But Pierce didn’t break any laws; he didn’t harm anyone; and he didn’t do or say anything offensive.
