Title: ESPN staffers told to wear Arena Football t-shirts
Posted By: Jim Romenesko
 
An ESPN staffer tells Romenesko the e-mail below from John Skipper, Executive Vice President of Content, was sent last week to all ESPN employees. The staffer writes: "As a member of the newsroom, I find it increasingly difficult to square such promotional stunts with my journalistic ethics and principles. We're supposed to objectively cover the AFL, and yet we're being asked to wear an AFL t-shirt to show our support when the league's bosses walk through the newsroom?"
