LaVar Ball Will No Longer be Appearing on ESPN, For Now
Published:
Per Richard Deitsch:
There will be no LaVar Ball on any ESPN platform heading forward — at least as of now. Asked if Ball will be used as an on-air guest, an on-the-record source for digital, or a background source for ESPN, an ESPN spokesperson said,"We have no plans moving forward."

Prediction:
Ball will be back on ESPN airwaves within the calendar year.

That comment was condemned by ESPN, who feigned surprise that a guy with a history of saying outrageous shit on TV once again said some outrageous shit on TV.
