Fox Sports studio host Charissa Thompson has backtracked on her admission that she used to make up reports from the sideline.
Thompson clarified her comments with a statement made on her personal Instagram story on Friday.
“I have never lied about anything or been unethical during my time as a sports broadcaster,” Thompson wrote. “In the absence of a coach providing any information that could further my report I would use information that I learned and saw during the first half to create my report. For example, if a team was 0-for-7 on 3rd down, that would clearly be an area they need to improve on in the second half. In these instances, I never attributed anything I said to a player or coach.”
