For giving a female employee “an unwanted kiss,” Philadelphia sports radio great is barred from an MLB stadium, but he will still continue to broadcast.
Howard Eskin, a Philadelphia sports radio veteran, has been barred from the Phillies ballpark following an inappropriate approach he made on a female employee.
Eskin, 73, was suspended following an inquiry into allegations that he had planted a “unwelcome kiss” on an unidentified Aramark employee in May.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the incident happened in the CP Rankin Club, a premium seating section behind home plate, prior to a game.
The woman allegedly complained to management when Eskin made an attempt to kiss her as she was backing away.
Despite not being permitted to enter the stadium for the duration of the season, Eskin is surprisingly anticipated to continue broadcasting and there are no plans to remove his radio program from the schedule.
One of Aramark’s employees “had been subjected to an unwanted advance by an Audacy employee,” the company stated to the media in a statement.
Requests for response from Eskin on Tuesday were not immediately answered.
Additionally, the Phillies issued the following statement: “We assisted our partners at Audacy and Aramark with their inquiries.” The decision made by Audacy to exclude Howard Eskin from Citizens Bank Park is one we agree with.
Since 1986, Eskin has been a sports radio broadcaster in the Philadelphia region. During the 1990s, he gained notoriety for labeling his listeners as either “genius” or “dope,” depending on whether he agreed with their viewpoints.
