When ESPN published a piece about GQ’s recent cover story with President Obama last month—which was written by Bill Simmons—Simmons got very upset when he wasn’t mentioned in it. He wrote, “Stay classy, ESPN,” in a tweet. And he’s upset with The Worldwide Leader again today, this time over a story that they ran on Abby Wambach based on her appearance on Simmons’ podcast today.
