ESPN lawsuit claims Chris Berman left 'threatening' and 'racially disparaging' voicemail for Jemele Hill

As it turns out, the Buccigross accusations might be some of the least explosive material in the suit. Though Lawrence’s complaint was lodged last summer, the lawsuit was filed in Connecticut district Sunday. In it, Lawrence, who worked at the network in 2015 as part of a fellowship to increase racial diversity, says ESPN is rife with misogyny, accusing male executives and talent of keeping “scoreboards naming female colleagues they are targeting for sex,” per the New York Post. It also claims men openly watched porn at their desks and made sexually lewd comments in Lawrence’s presence.

The lawsuit also cites a specific alleged incident involving iconic anchor Chris Berman. Lawrence says Berman left a “threatening” and “racially disparaging” voicemail on Jemele Hill’s office line in early 2016, which prompted Hill to notify ESPN executive Marcia Keegan –– who was in charge of Hill’s show, “His & Hers.” Lawrence writes no further action against Berman was taken, according to TMZ.

I don't know a lot about this situation, other than really what I have read here and the above link referencing Berman. Seems pretty lousy to me to drag Berman's and Hill's issue that, according to Hill, was handled to her satisfaction. I get the objective of painting ESPN as misogynistic, but this looks like it was a reach. I would have thought that Lawrence and her legal team would have done more thorough homework. Should have vetted the source with a little more veracity.

Fancy legal terms used:
vetted; check
veracity; check
legal team; check
misogynistic; check

yup, my work here is finished.
