ESPN and the NFL have officially reached an agreement that will further intertwine the two entities. While this has most people worried about what will happen to the RedZone channel, others, like 's Mike Florio, are concerned that this might affect the way the worldwide leader will cover the league.
Florio voiced these concerns in a brief tweet on Tuesday night, pointing out that the NFL now owns 10% of the news outlet that covers the league. Florio added, "Factor that into any and all reporting ESPN does on league matters."
One person who isn't worried about the apparent conflict of interest is Disney CEO Bob Iger, who told the that nothing will change when it comes to ESPN's coverage of the NFL:
ESPN has been a direct partner of the NFL since taking over the broadcast rights in 2006.
