If all of those professions of which Shannon Sharpe speaks were represented by a single entity in the same way the NFL, well, sure, I’d be for them banning individuals who perpetrated this behavior as well, but they don’t, thus, it’s an irrelevant argument.Jenny Taft, who serves as a moderator on the show featuring Sharpe and Skip Bayless, said after viewing the tape she felt Hunt should be banned for life by the National Football League. The duo popularized the controversial "embrace debate" format, and "First Take" became one of ESPN's most popular and profitable shows.The addition of Taft would bring a new element into the cutthroat morning show wars between FS1's "Undisputed" (9:30 a.m. to noon ET) and ESPN's "First Take" (10 a.m. to noon ET).Taft, who played lacrosse at Boston University, joined FS1 for the network's launch in 2013.

Sure, we’d like the whole world to be fair and have equal punishment for equal infractions, but that isn’t the debate and wasn’t the discussion between Shannon Sharpe and Jenny Taft.

A community of UNDISPUTED fans who want to discuss and debate Skip and Shannon's unfiltered, incisive, passionate opinions on the biggest sports topics of the day. … Talk about fallacies.Hunt was not arrested or charged in any of the trio of assaults.I was bothered by all the people who took such joy in the impression that Shannon had somehow “shut her down.” Or that he “corrected her.” She was only moved to silence because she hadn’t thought the issue through, wasn’t prepared to debate the matter and was too caught up in Shannon’s forceful delivery to see that his logic was flawed.
