From a source closely involved at ESPN on Frontline/NFL documentary:
“We made a mistake 12-15 months ago by putting our name on something, while giving up (editorial) control.”
“We started seeing the promos and the other material around the documentary and we realized we made a mistake.”
“The decision was made earlier this week…Monday or Tuesday.”
“It’s not that we don’t trust Frontline…but giving up control was wrong.”
“It’s embarrassing, because we know how it looks. We know that this is a bad day for us, but this is not a larger agenda.”
