ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz confirmed Rivera's firing in a statement saying,"She no longer works here." ESPN, which hired Rivera in 2011, removed her staff bio from its website. Prior to ESPN, Rivera worked for MLB and Univision. "I fully accept responsibility for what I said, which I should not have," Rivera told the Post."There were extenuating circumstances but that in no way is an excuse for my actions.
"I am a professional with a sterling reputation across baseball and I do believe that I am being singled out by a group of individuals with whom I have a long history of professional disagreements," she said.
