It recently happened to Hall-of-Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin, who was accused of sexual assault in a civil suit filed in Florida Feb. 4 by Nicole Alisa Mostafa, who claimed the incident had occurred 31 months earlier. The following day, Irvin was fired by the ESPN radio affiliate in Dallas, but the NFL Network stuck with him. ESPN claimed the move was going to be made anyway. Last Wednesday, investigators said charges would not be filed against Irvin because of inconsistencies in the allegations and the fact Mostafa had talked with three attorneys prior to making the report to police. Now, Irvin is considering firing back with a lawsuit against ESPN. Said attorney Larry Friedman, “They fired Michael Irvin immediately after Ms. Mostafa filed the lawsuit and made public the false allegations that hurt Michael Irvin and his career.” Said Irvin, “It’s been a horrific ordeal. This has been very difficult on me and my family. This has been the very thing I have so tried to avoid.” — St. Louis Globe-Democrat
