In a shocking development, Philadelphia sports radio host, Howard Eskin, has been suspended from attending Philadelphia Phillies’ home games for the remainder of the season. The decision came after investigations conducted by his employer, Audacy, revealed that Eskin had kissed an Aramark employee at Citizens Bank Park without her consent.

Audacy, the parent company of Philadelphia's SportsRadio 94WIP, stated that they were made aware of the incident involving Eskin and the Aramark worker, prompting an immediate investigation. The results of the investigation prompted Audacy to take action, suspending Eskin not only from Phillies games but also from the Philadelphia 76ers' training facility.

Citizens Bank Park, home to the Phillies, is served by Aramark, the food service provider at the stadium. Both the Phillies and Aramark issued statements in response to the incident. The Phillies stated that they fully cooperated with Audacy and Aramark during the investigation, emphasizing that they take the allegations seriously. The team expressed their support for Audacy's decision to suspend Eskin from Citizens Bank Park.

Aramark, in their statement, confirmed that their internal investigation corroborated the allegations made against Eskin. The company also mentioned their collaboration with Audacy and the Phillies to ensure the safety and well-being of their employees at Citizens Bank Park.

As of now, Eskin and Audacy have not responded to requests for comment from the Associated Press. Eskin, a well-known figure in Philadelphia's sports market, holds a significant media presence in the city. He was instrumental in launching SportsRadio 94WIP's first sports talk show in 1986 and remains a prominent figure on the station and in sports television.

The suspension serves as a sobering reminder that inappropriate behavior in the workplace will not be tolerated, regardless of one's fame or status. The Phillies, Audacy, and Aramark's swift actions demonstrate their commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all employees.

It remains to be seen what further consequences or actions may follow within the Philadelphia sports community, but for now, Eskin will be absent from the Phillies' home games for the remainder of the season.
