Deadspin found that the sex abuse scandal has never been discussed on any program on FS1 or FS2 in the past six months, based on a search of closed-captioning keywords. Deadspin’s Laura Wagner reports, “A Fox Sports spokesman declined to discuss the coverage on the record, but noted that the network doesn’t cover gymnastics. This leaves several remaining questions. Does Fox Sports only cover sports it has the rights to? (The answer to that one is no.) Is there no one—not even one of the dozens of people Fox pays to talk about sports news on TV—who was willing or able to discuss Nassar? Are there plans to cover major news stories like the USA Gymnastics sex abuse case in the future?” ALSO: The View gives Aly Raisman a standing ovation following Nassar’s sentencing.
