AUSTIN, Texas -- Former ESPN announcer Ron Franklin has sued the network over his firing for reportedly berating a female colleague.
The wrongful termination lawsuit filed Monday in state district court in Franklin's hometown of Austin claims ESPN had no grounds for dismissing him. The suit says Franklin exchanged "contentious words" with a colleague who repeatedly interrupted a private conversation before the pair worked at the Chick-fil-A Bowl without incident.
