ESPN might ban LaVar Ball from the network after inappropriate comments to Molly. LaVar Ball was a guest on ESPN’s hit daytime talk show “First Take” on Monday June 17th. LaVar is always a guest on some ESPN show, but this time he may have crossed the line of no return. Today LaVar is getting a lot of backlash for his comments aimed at First Take host Molly Qerim who is married to fellow ESPN host Jalen Rose.
LaVar was on First Take to speak on the trade involving his son Lonzo Ball from the Lakers to the Pelicans. While answering questions about his sons trade Qerim asked LaVar if she could “switch gears” as a segway to her next question. Ball responded by telling Qerim, “You can switch gears with me any time.”
Since then social media has been in a uproar of disgust with LaVar and this backlash has made its way to the bosses at ESPN. It has now been reported that ESPN is about to ban LaVar from ever being on their network again. Stay tuned for more updates!
