Report: Shannon Sharpe will not return to ESPN after settling lawsuit

Rapper Meek Mill criticized ESPN for firing Shannon Sharpe, calling out the network for letting go of older employees. Sharpe was let go after settling a sexual assault lawsuit in Nevada, which he denied. Sharpe addressed the situation on his podcast, expressing disappointment in the timing of the news as his brother was being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The lawsuit has been resolved, and Sharpe’s legal team called the claims “meritless.”
