Longtime Philadelphia sports broadcaster Howard Eskin has been suspended from Citizens Bank Park for the rest of the season after making an unwanted advance towards an Aramark employee. The parent company of WIP, Audacy, took immediate action upon learning of the incident, stating that the safety of their employees is paramount. The Philadelphia Phillies also supported Audacy's decision to suspend Eskin. In response, the Philadelphia 76ers have denied Eskin access to their training complex and requested the Wells Fargo Center to block his entry for games and team activities. Eskin, a prominent figure in Philadelphia sports media for decades, has hosted numerous shows on WIP and has had stints at various TV stations in the city. The incident has sparked significant consequences for Eskin's access to sports facilities and events in Philadelphia.
