ESPN Target of Poison-Pen Letters

I guess someone doesn’t like the way ESPN covers college cheerleading competitions and professional female athletes. In dozens of letters sent to the network and its affiliates, the writer complained that the network’s use of camera angles exploited cheerleaders, WNBA and WTA Tour players “for their own personal entertainment,” according to one letter obtained by the Associated Press. Some of the letters also contained a potentially harmful insecticide. The FBI believes the author has some knowledge of college athletics, cheerleading or TV production. The agency is offering a $5,000 reward for any information about the case.
