ESPN Fires Robert Griffin III After He Defended FSU Football

ESPN fired former Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III, according to The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand.

Griffin joined ESPN as a play-by-play analyst in 2021. He was terminated on Thursday, August 15, with two years remaining on his contract.

“ESPN is entering the end of its fiscal year, where it typically makes these types of decisions,” Marchand reported. “Griffin’s stock had fallen, making him a prime candidate to be let go. While his seven-figure-per-year salary will be honored, his role had diminished to a point where ESPN decided to not keep him on.”

Hours before the news broke on Thursday, Griffin posted on X.com.

“There are people in your circle saying they want you to win, but doing everything they can to make you lose. Don’t be afraid to cut people off when they keep handing you the scissors.”

Others say Griffin’s problematic social media posts got him in trouble.

“Dude said this yesterday and then espn fired him today,” one fan wrote in reference to Griffin’s August 13 X post defending Florida State football.

@BarstoolFSU tweeted: “Barely 2 days after speaking up for Florida State, RG3 gets fired along side Sam Ponder. They’re not even trying to hide their bias anymore, sad.”
