Six current and former NFL Network employees, five of them former NFL players, have been suspended by their respective employers after they were named in a lawsuit claiming they sexually harassed and assaulted a former colleague.
The NFL Network suspended the analysts Marshall Faulk, Heath Evans and Ike Taylor “pending an investigation,” in response to the suit.
ESPN is investigating the claims made against former NFL Network analysts Donovan McNabb and Eric Davis, who have shows on ESPN Radio, and they “will not appear on our networks as that investigation proceeds,” said an ESPN spokesman.
Eric Weinberger, the president of the Bill Simmons Media Group and a former NFL Network executive, was also suspended by the media group.
