ESPN Accused of Racial Bias in Their Reporting of NFL Head Coaching Firings

It was Black Monday in the NFL yesterday, and several NFL teams fired their head coach. Of course ESPN was on top of the breaking news, and they reported each firing with their usual breaking news stories. However they did treat Anthony Lynn’s firing a little bit different. And they got called out for it.

ESPN not slick with they word choice. Every white coach that got fired by his team got the “have parted ways” verbiage instead of fired https://t.co/dxpxDKkFhh

Trying to figure out why the @espn ticker says the Jets & Jaguars parted ways with Adam Gase & Doug Marrone but, the Chargers FIRED Anthony Lynn…

Exactly. Scroller says teams "parted ways" with Gase and Marrone, but Anthony Lynn was "fired." C'mon @SportsCenter, @espn you gotta do better than that… https://t.co/iGT7dZ40sP

It was a tough day for ESPN. First they got duped by a fake Adam Schefter account, then this.

As of now ESPN has yet to respond  to the claims of racial bias.
