According to Sacramento Bee, Taylor’s lawsuit claims that an ESPN story highlighting Taylor’s alleged behavior led to his firing from Stanford.
History said that “Several employees filed complaints about Taylor for what they called hostile and aggressive behavior, as well as personal attacks.” And “Both studies determined that Taylor’s treatment of employees, especially of women, was incompatible with Stanford’s standards.”
“These statements were false, and ESPN and [reporter Xuan] Thai knew they were false at the time they were made, ”claims Taylor’s lawyers.
Taylor was First examined over a year agoWhich led him to sign a warning letter on February 14 last year and another study concluded on July. Taylor said he “disagreed with the complaint” but “took it seriously and fully cooperated.” The investigation, Taylor said, “concluded that I wasn’t acting unfairly,” and he got an extension and an increase in the end of the next February “because I was told we built something special.”
Taylor said the second study was “regarding a discussion about the physical speed at which Stanford players could participate in a review,” but was decided on July.
“Two other witnesses (a man and a woman) were present during the initial discussion about the speed in which players could participate in a review. Both told me at the time my behavior was appropriate,” Taylor said.

In his April statement, he said both investigations were “wrongly revealed” to the media. The first probe, Taylor said was about “a complaint from an athletic administrator who claimed I was trying to remove her as our football administrator for an unreasonable reason.”
“[T]At first he did not examine that Taylor was dealing with gender -based bullying or degrading; There were no ‘two studies’ who found that Taylor ‘had bullied and burnt down athletics staff, especially women;’ The investigations in the workplace did not begin after ‘several employees filed complaints’ against Taylor for ‘hostile and aggressive behavior’ towards female employees or staff; And there was no finding after the first study that ‘allegations of degradation … behavior towards … Women were considered profits,’ the trial says.
“Taylor is informed and believes and then claims that the aforementioned acts of the defendant were intentional, oppressive, fraudulent and/or malicious. The construction of defendants in publishing these false statements about Taylor, with knowledge of their false, for the explicit purpose of harming Taylor was intentional and contemptible. For the express purposes. “
ESPN refused to comment.
