ESPN Accused of Wrongfully Terminating Pregnant Broadcaster

Luz Ramos, formerly a commentator on ESPN Deportes, has filed a wrongful termination suit against ESPN, claiming that the network let her go because she was pregnant. Ramos asserts that she consistently received positive reviews up until she became visibly pregnant, after which she received negative reviews, ultimately prompting ESPN to decline her contract renewal. Her claim is under Title VII, and she seeks reinstatement to her job and damages. ESPN disputes the claim, noting how SportsCenter personality Chris McKendry worked throughout her recent pregnancy while staying on the air.
