Book on ESPN Looks Behind Its Jolly Image
2000
Overview
But ESPN's history hasn't been all Diaper Dandies, Big Mondays, Stuart Scott catch phrases and mirthful ''SportsCenters,'' according to a new book, ''ESPN: The Uncensored History'' (Taylor Publishing), to be published next month. Chris LaPlaca, an ESPN spokesman, said: ''We had some issues in the past. We addressed them whenever they were brought forward. We learned from the experience and it's a much better place today. Contrary to the book's portrayal, ESPN cares very much about its people and over many years has taken many proactive steps to enhance the workplace environment.'' ''I and my family were hurt by my portrayal as a person who doesn't care or isn't sincere about the women who work at ESPN and the family members of ESPN employees,'' [John] Walsh said last night. ''Fortunately, most of my colleagues know me better than the book does, and they know how much I care for them, their careers and their families.''
