Longtime baseball reporter Marly Rivera was fired by ESPN after reports emerged that she hurled an obscenity at another reporter before a New York Yankees game. The network confirmed the firing Wednesday, telling the New York Post that Rivera "no longer works here."
The incident reportedly took place before the Yankees took on the Los Angeles Angels on April 18. Prior to the contest, Rivera reportedly confronted fellow reporter Ivón Gaete on the field. Rivera was allegedly upset because she claimed she scheduled time to speak with Yankees slugger Aaron Judge.
