Legendary Sportscaster and longtime anchor on ESPN
Stuart Orlando Scott died today January 4th after a seven
year battle with cancer. ESPN announced his death this
morning.
Scott, who worked as an anchor for ESPN and ABC Sports
for 21 years, was one of the most recognizable figures on
US sports television and in July 2014, he received the
Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the ESPYs - where he
opened up about his battle with cancer.
He said he had 4 surgeries in seven days in the week prior
to his appearance at the ESPY, when he was suffering from
liver complications and kidney failure.
"When you die, it does not mean that you lose to
cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you
live, and in the manner in which you live."
He's survived by two daughters.
RIP Scoot... We will miss you
