ESPN Management Reportedly Had Problem With Stuart Scott

“Stuart was such an innovator,” Wingo explained during an appearance on the “Hoodie Chroniclez” podcast. “I’ll tell you one of the things that no one ever knows about Stuart, and maybe some people know this, but he was under a lot of scrutiny by management at ESPN. They didn’t like his style, which is interesting now because all they care about is style, for the most part. And they wanted to make sure, if you’re going to do that, back it up with information.”

“So if you go back and watch Stuart at his heyday, he was presenting himself in a way, ‘Cool as the other side of the pillow,’ all that kind of stuff, but then you would listen to him, he would drop more facts and more knowledge in one of those ‘SportsCenter‘ episodes than anyone else,” the ex-anchor added. “Basically, he was like, ‘Really? You’re going to mess with me? Alright, I’m gonna do my thing, and then I’m going to show you how much of your shite I can put in there as well.’”
