ESPN Has 'No Plans' to Move Forward With LaVar Ball

LaVar Ball will not appear on any ESPN related content in the near future.

On Wednesday, a spokesperson for the network told journalist Richard Deitsch that ESPN has "no plan moving forward" that involves the Ball family patriarch.



Although the spokesperson didn't disclose to Deitsch what prompted this decision, it is assumed to have stemmed from his recent appearance on First Take. While discussing his the trade that sent his son to New Orleans, mediator, Molly Qerim, tried to segway the conversation by asking if she could "switch gears." Ball decided to use this term as an opportunity to make a sexually suggestive remark to Qerim.

"You can switch gears on my anytime," he interjected.

Understandably, this comment angered viewers and fellow analysts who came to Qerim's defense by openly condemning Ball's behavior.

ESPN responded to Ball's antics the same day. In a statement to TMZ, the network said "LaVar Ball’s comment to Molly Qerim Rose was completely inappropriate. We made him aware of that."

What was he thinking?

This nikka forgot one of the few redeemable qualities he had was his adoration for his family unit. A guy that nurses his wife back to health can’t be that bad right? Then he throws the good will he had in the public off he strength of that by embarrassing his wife/kids hitting on a broad on national television.

Hasn’t been a good year for Lavar

Let’s be honest, it’s because Lonzo is in NO now and people will soon forget about him unless he turns into a star. Whole family about to be irrelevant.

Melo still got his core fan base though.

The overblown comment but more so Zo getting traded from the Lakers was the end of his chapter...

Unless Zo Kicks it up or a notch and/or Lamelo pans out in a big Market, BBB is done

Don't worry.... If a story involving him or his kids is big enough, he'll be back

I thought he said "with" not "on" and yes there is a difference

They know; but the original quote is so innocuous that they have to misquote him to justify the outrage
