@sagesteeleshow: “I knew when I sent that … this isn’t going to go over very well. But to me, that’s abuse.” Samantha Ponder didn’t stay silent when a female boxer was being physically beaten by a biological male in the ring. She tweeted: “Enough.” Within a week, the call came from her bosses at ESPN. In this raw, honest moment, Sam opens up about the real reason she believes ESPN fired her. And it’s not just because of that tweet — but because she refused to compromise her values and her role as a mom of 3 young kids. This is what it looks like to speak the truth, even when it costs you. Full episode now on YouTube

ESPN is completely lost. Lost their minds focusing on a demographic that will never watch sports and in turn they lost their main audience. They are done.

ESPN is so woke now. They fire anyone who disagrees with their narrative. Ponder, Nichols, and Sage are much better off.
