Oh Nooooo…..
Jalen Rose has been pulled off the air by ESPN!
But his commentary career is not over!
The ESPN Analyst and former NBA player caught a lot of hea,t for his controversial statement about Duke’s recruiting practices, in the excellent Fab Five documentary.
Now, according to reports, failure to report a DUI charge in early March, is coming back to haunt him!
ESPN is pulling Jalen Rose off the air after a report found the NBA basketball analyst waited almost three weeks to tell his employers about his arrest in Michigan on suspicion of drunk driving.
“Jalen has accepted full responsibility for his actions. Both parties are taking this very seriously, and as a result, we’ve agreed that he will not be on our air while he addresses this situation,” said ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz in an email to Game On!
Again for clarity, my man Jalen has not been fired or officially suspended — he’s just off the air for the time being as ESPN sorts out what should be done.
As the saying goes, “Let he who lives in a glass house, throw the first stone!”
Thank God no one was hurt!
But, I think Jalen has learned a huge lesson from his mistake!
Now leave him be! *in my grandmama’s voice*
LOLO
