Philadelphia sports radio host Howard Eskin has been suspended from Phillies home games for the rest of the season after investigations revealed he kissed a worker for Citizens Bank Park's food service provider without consent. Audacy, the parent company of SportsRadio 94WIP, took immediate action upon learning of the incident and conducted a thorough investigation. Both the Phillies and Aramark, the food service provider, issued statements expressing seriousness towards the allegations and supporting Audacy's decision to suspend Eskin. Aramark confirmed the allegations and worked with Audacy and the Phillies to ensure appropriate measures were taken to protect their employees. Eskin, a media personality in Philadelphia's sports market, has been a long-standing figure in the city's sports media industry, but his actions have led to consequences that will affect his involvement in Phillies home games for the remainder of the season.
