ESPN fires Marly Rivera for hurling expletive at fellow journalist

ESPN canned one of its longtime baseball reporters after she volleyed an epithet at another reporter, calling her a "f------ c---" during a New York Yankees game earlier this month. 

Marly Rivera scheduled an on-air interview with Yankee Aaron Judge on April 18 as the team was competing against the Los Angeles Angels. During the interview, freelance reporter Ivón Gaete walked over to Judge and started asking questions even after Rivera explained it was a pre-scheduled interview, the New York Post reported. Gaete ignored Rivera's explanation and that's when the ESPN reporter hurled the expletive, according to the Post. 

ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz confirmed Rivera's firing in a statement saying, "She no longer works here." ESPN, which hired Rivera in 2011, removed her staff bio from its website. Prior to ESPN, Rivera worked for MLB and Univision.
