ESPN President John Skipper resigns citing substance abuse issue
"I have struggled for many years with a substance addiction. I have decided that the most important thing I can do right now is to take care of my problem," Skipper said in a statement.
Skipper said he and the company have "mutually agreed" it was appropriate for him to resign.
"I come to this public disclosure with embarrassment, trepidation and a feeling of having let others I care about down," Skipper's statement continued. "As I deal with this issue and what it means to me and my family, I ask for appropriate privacy and a little understanding."
Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger announced former ESPN President George Bodenheimer will serve as Acting Chair of ESPN for the next 90 days until they find a full time replacement for Skipper.
Skipper joined the Disney-owned network in 1997. He became president of ESPN in 2012.

I've been saying for a few years that the leadership at ESPN must be smoking crack as the only explanation for why they would transform themselves from a sports network to a social justice network that plays a few sports.
