By Brian Walsh, Jul. 6, 2015, MSNBCESPN has become the latest sports organization to break ties with Donald Trump.
The cable network announced in a statement Monday that it would be moving their upcoming ESPY Celebrity Golf Classic from the Trump National Golf Club to Pelican Hill Golf Club in Los Angeles on July 14th.
“We decided it was appropriate to change the venue, and are grateful for the opportunity to stage the event at Pelican Hill on short notice,” the statement said. “Diversity and inclusion are core values at ESPN and our decision also supports that commitment.”
The annual charity outing benefits The V Foundation’s Stuart Scott Memorial Cancer Research Fund, which is named for the late ESPN anchor who passed away earlier this year, and provides resources for important cancer research for minority populations, including both Latinos and African-Americans.
