Why was Michael Irvin removed from Super Bowl coverage?
The reasons behind Irwin’s removal have not been cited but the timing of this development, following Irwin’s encounter with a certain woman is coming under question.
Irwin told Dallas Morning News that he encountered this woman at a hotel in Glendale. According to Irwin, he spoke with the woman for roughly 45 seconds in the lobby. As per his statements, there was no indication of any physical interaction.
Irwin said he was there in Glendale for the weekend’s Super Bowl LVII. He had returned to the property after a night out in the town when he met the woman in the lobby.
Later, the woman reportedly launched a complaint against Irwin’s actions. The details regarding the reports have not been released. However, it is clear that the controversy has some hands in Irwin’s removal from this week’s coverage.
Irwin added that he was “perplexed” by the incident entirely. He merely talked to the girl for 45 seconds and shook her hands before leaving. He said, “I don’t know. I don’t know what this is, and it’s running me crazy.”
