Two U.S. House representatives are calling on ESPN Chairman James Pitaro to drop Chinese-owned TikTok as a sponsor of NCAA college football events.
In a Jan. 9 letter (pdf) to the chairman, Reps. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) express their concern over ESPN’s decision to have TikTok sponsor the halftime shows for recent NCAA bowl games, asking for further information about its decision-making process.
