ESPN Wants Keith Olbermann to Quit Doing "Commentary"

The ESPN2 anchor was highly critical of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell
during the Ray Rice scandal.
ESPN and Keith Olbermann may be headed toward a tough negotiation to
keep the outspoken host on the sports network. Sources tell The
Hollywood Reporter that ESPN has floated a highly problematic condition
for an extension of Olbermann's initial two-year deal: that he cease
engaging in “commentary” on his ESPN2 program.
The issue likely stems from Olbermann's critical assessment of the
NFL's handling of the Ray Rice domestic abuse scandal that exploded
last summer when an elevator video of Rice punching then-fiancee Janay
Palmer in the face surfaced after the NFL had imposed a slap-on-the-
wrist, two-game suspension on the Baltimore Ravens star running back.
Olbermann repeatedly hammered NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. In a
lengthy commentary at the top of his Aug. 1 broadcast, he called on the
commissioner to “resign” after what Olbermann described as a “weak,
damaging and almost enabling reaction” to the episode.
The NFL has been pilloried throughout the media — and also faced
pressure from advertisers — for its handling of a string of violent
incidents involving its players. ESPN's highly regarded investigative
series Outside the Lines was a leader in reporting on the scandal.
Olbermann is not the only ESPN personality who has been critical of
Goodell and the league. Bill Simmons' profane criticism of Goodell was
likely the tipping point for his departure from the network after 15
years, during which Simmons built the online site Grantland and also
co-created the award-winning documentary series 30 for 30.
ESPN walks a particularly fine line in how its reporters and
personalities handle the professional sports leagues that are so
critical to the network's success. ESPN's Monday Night Football deal
(which extends through 2021) is worth $15.2 billion to the NFL. It is
the richest rights deal among the NFL's TV partners — which also
includes CBS, Fox and NBC — in part because it comes with extensive
highlight rights critical to feeding content to ESPN's myriad sports
programs. ESPN has had MNF since 2006, with the current deal
representing an increase of more than 70 percent — $1.9 billion per
year up from $1.1 billion — over the previous agreement. And while NFL
schedulers have historically worked to spread marquee matchups among
its TV partners, the upcoming MNF schedule is viewed as one pointedly
lacking in high-interest games, with multiple sources inside ESPN's
Bristol, Conn., headquarters believing the "terrible" schedule is “pay
back for Simmons and Olbermann,” as one source put it.
And there are signs that ESPN's spending may need to be reined in.
Though ESPN parent Disney realized gains in second-quarter earnings,
operating income at Disney media networks — which includes ABC, ESPN
and the company's kid-targeted cable channels — fell 2 percent due to
rising programming and production costs at ESPN.
Olbermann's return to ESPN two years ago was something of a surprising
homecoming given his clashes with management during his first stint at
the network. A talented writer and anchor, he built his reputation on
ESPN's SportsCenter with co-host Dan Patrick in the 1980s. Together
they brought a wry humor to the heretofore by-the-numbers highlight
show, launching countless imitators of what would eventually become the
norm across the industry. By all accounts Olbermann has had few run-ins
with management during his current stint there, though he was suspended
for four days earlier this year after popping off at Penn State
students on Twitter. He took full blame for the incident when he
returned, admitting that he had been “stupid and immature.”
And Olbermann's on-air commentaries — unlike his tweets — are vetted by
ESPN producers who have been known to request changes, say sources.
There was some frustration with his initial 11 p.m. time slot on ESPN2.
Because it was preceded by live sports, his show was frequently shifted
to the wee hours. At one point, Olbermann was pre-empted for several
nights by women's softball. But last September, ESPN permanently
shifted Olbermann to 5 p.m.
Sources say that ESPN management signaled their discomfort with
Olbermann's commentaries a few days after news of Simmons' imminent
departure from ESPN broke last May, when ESPN president John Skipper
abruptly told The New York Times that he had decided not to renew
Simmons' deal. (Simmons learned of Skipper's decision when the Times
tweeted its scoop on May 8.)
Olbermann's current deal is up in August. Skipper has said in the past
that he intends to keep Olbermann. But he also said the same about
Simmons. Of course, while Olbermann has many fans in the sports arena,
he also is an established progressive voice — and reliable conservative
foe. It is still possible that he'll stay at ESPN. But with a
presidential election around the corner, he may be itching to get back
to political commentary.
In a statement in response to this story, ESPN said: "Keith Olbermann
has never been told any topic is off limits for his commentary nor has
continuation of it been part of any conversation about his future at
the company."
