Description
ESPN has parted ways with NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe less than two weeks after he settled a civil rape lawsuit filed by a woman identified as “Jane Doe.” Sharpe, who called the lawsuit a “shakedown,” had not appeared on ESPN since April. He announced his departure on his “Nightcap” podcast, expressing peace with the decision but wishing ESPN had delayed the move until after his brother’s Hall of Fame induction. No criminal charges have been filed.
