According to Sacramento Bee, Taylor’s demand states that a story of ESPN, who highlighted Taylor’s supposed behavior, led to his dismissal from Stanford.
The story said that “several employees presented complaints about Taylor so they called hostile and aggressive behavior, as well as personal attacks.” And “both investigations determined that Taylor’s treatment to employees, particularly women, was inconsistent with Stanford standards.”
“These statements were false, and ESPN and [reporter Xuan] Thai knew they were false at the time they were done, “says Taylor’s lawyers.
Taylor was Investigated for the first time more than a year agoWhat led him to sign a warning letter on February 14 of last year, and a second investigation concluded that Julio. Taylor said that “I did not agree with the complaint”, but “he took it seriously and cooperated completely.” The investigation, Taylor said, “concluded that he did not acted unfairly,” and gave him an extension and an increase at the end of next February “because they told me we were building something special.”
Taylor said the second investigation was “about a discussion about the physical speed at which Stanford players could participate in a tour”, but that July was resolved.
“Two other witnesses (a man and a woman) were present during the initial discussion about the speed at which the players could participate in a tour. Both told me at that time that my behavior was appropriate,” Taylor said.

In his April statement, he said that both investigations were “incorrectly revealed” to the media. The first investigation, Taylor said, was about “a complaint from an Athletic administrator who said I tried to eliminate her as our football administrator for an unfair reason.”
“[T]The first investigation did not determine that Taylor participated in the harassment or contempt of gender; There were no ‘two investigations’ that found that Taylor’ had intimidated and belittled athletics staff, especially women; The investigations in the workplace did not begin after ‘multiple employees filed complaints’ against Taylor for ‘hostile and aggressive behavior’ towards employees or staff; And there was no finding after the first investigation that “the accusations regarding contempt … the behavior towards … It was considered that women had merit,” says demand.
“Taylor is informed and believes, and in this regard he alleges that the aforementioned acts of the defendants were deliberate, oppressive, fraudulent and/or malicious. The conduct of the defendants in the publication of these false statements about Taylor, with knowledge of their falsehood, for the express purpose of damaging Taylor was intentional and despicable. Therefore, Taylor is treated to punitive damage.” “
ESPN declined to comment.
