When in doubt about ESPN, blame politics.
At least that's become the refrain for some trying to piece together ratings and business decisions by ESPN in recent months. As less and less people watch the network, many well-known staffers lost jobs in a purge.

But according to the now unemployed McHenry, it wasn't a past incident or ESPN trying to pare down expenses that led to her demise within the company.
