NFL Hall of Famer and ESPN host Shannon Sharpe has apologized after he mistakenly live-streamed a sex act on his Instagram account, but what does his employer think about it?

Sharpe – who won three Super Bowls during his 14-year career – accidentally went live on Instagram on Wednesday and was heard having sex with an unknown woman.

The video did not depict the intimate act.

That may be the reason why ESPN made their decision on him.

According to TMZ Sports, ESPN is not expected to discipline Shannon Sharpe for going live on Instagram and having sex with a woman.

He was noticeably absent from First Take on Thursday, but that has nothing to do with what happened.

“A source at the network tells us … Sharpe’s absence from Thursday’s “First Take” had nothing to do with what went down on his Instagram some 24 hours ago — as his usual days off are Thursdays and Fridays.”

This is great news for Sharpe and the Worldwide Leader In Sports, as they have a lot of stake in the Hall of Famer.

ESPN Previously Agreed To Multi-Year Contract With Shannon Sharpe

In June of this year, ESPN agreed to a multi-year contract with the Pro Football Hall of Famer and three-time Super Bowl champion.

Shannon Sharpe is blazing the media world with Club Shay Shay, The Nightcap, and First Take on ESPN with Stephen A. Smith.

He retired from the NFL with 815 receptions, 10,060 receiving yards, and 62 touchdowns.

“Being a part of this family has been a blessing,” Sharpe said. “Everything about this relationship with ESPN, Stephen A., and First Take has been tremendous. I look forward to expanding my role and showing more of the world what I have to offer. The show goes on!”

The NFL honored him as an NFL 1990s All-Decade Team member.
