Pitaro continued, stating clearly that “ESPN is NOT a political organization,†which is something the network has been adamant recently as some of its top personalities have run into trouble for making their political beliefs known on certain topics.

It’s no secret that the NFL has struggled with how to approach this ongoing set of protests which occur during the national anthem. Clearly, ESPN is taking the approach that staying out of this issue as much as possible is the best policy for business.
