ESPN has ended its relationship with the NFL star less than two weeks after he reached an out-of-court settlement in a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault and rape, the Athletic reports.

ESPN has cut ties with Shannon Sharpe in the wake of the scandal he was embroiled in, and the Hall of Fame tight end says he has only one major issue with the decision — the timing.
