That being said, I'm personally very interested in seeing how ESPN responds to this. They have a precedent for not taking this stuff to lightly considering the way they've handled Rob Parker and Rush Limbaugh. To be fair to ESPN, they didn't really make a big deal out of those firings either. In general they handle internal matters, well... internally.
