ESPN Submits Fake Names To The Emmy Awards Making Officials Throw The Challenge Flag
Excellence in broadcasting tried to be excellent in garnering fake praise.
An expose just unearthed details that ESPN submitted fake names to the Emmy Awards nomination committee to win more awards. The ESPN staff would take the name plates off of the awards, like the license plates off of an old car, and give them to the on-air personalities.
We contacted numerous employees, past and present, to get more insight on the grift and their reactions to the scandal.
