ESPN broadcasters participated in an on-air moment of silence on March 18 in opposition to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education legislation, which in part calls for a ban on the teaching of “sexual orientation and gender identity” to children in kindergarten through third grade.
The Walt Disney Co.-owned sports network interrupted a live television broadcast of an NCAA women’s basketball tournament, in protest against Florida’s House Bill 1557.
