However, social media platform X was rife with outrage about the host’s abrupt firing. Some noted that Ponder was the only female at the network speaking out about the vital gender issue, specifically when it comes to sports. It was also highlighted that former ESPN personality Sage Steele was similarly fired after she voiced some conservative opinions.

“So ESPN fires [Sam Ponder], the only woman at the network who [has] publicly said men don’t belong in women’s sports,” Riley Gaines posted. “Three weeks before football season? Sam is one of the most beautiful, genuine women I’ve ever met along with [former ESPN host Sage Steele] who had a similar fate….not a coincidence.”

Some other network such as Fox Sports should hire her ASAP.

Her husband was a failure at football. Why bother with succeeding when you got that at home? With the firing she’s gotta be really happy.

Sports media is left of the media in general. Keith Olbermann is not out of the ordinary for sports media.

I hadn’t given much thought to it but it makes sense. If the only way you can make a living is in entertainment, you would want the government taking care of you when you can’t find a job.

ESPN, like the NFL, has gone WOKE and DEI.
STOP WATCHING THEM AND BUYING EXPENSIVE TICKETS
to their stupid athletic events. DITTO the Olympics. They no longer represent you or your values UNLESS you are a hate consumed minority racist, a sexual freak, or a anti-American
or anti-western malcontent or some combination of the aforesaid. Too many of their “stars” are ignorant, over- compensated, violent, arrogant, misogynistic street thugs.
Colon Klapperdick is their poster boy.

ESPN and the NFL also do business with the Federal Government. The terms to get that Federal money is that your company nees DEI and ESG compliance. Thanks to the Inflation “Reduction” Act. So much as running an Army recruitment ad is enough to trigger it.

Looks conservative from the get go, went to Liberty University. Married 12 years, she has 3 kids.

Downside for her, she’s not a black, lesbian drug addict, if she were she’d probably still have a job.

They shouldn’t be getting or accepting Federal Money. That’s like PBS. Tax dollars shouldn’t be subsidizing these events. But that certainly explains this bullcrap.

Really? were guaranteed money automatic contract extensions going to kick in? Doubt it, so the Disney kiddie diddlers fired Griffin, while honored the two remaining years of his contract, were is the savings? And someone else in all probability will be hired to take his place. Once again were is the financial savings? I imagine the same scenario with Sam Ponders.

I stopped following the MFL many years ago but if I remember correctly, Griffin was a conservative and Republican. I imagine they were afraid he might say something crude about their beloved Harris’ nasty ***.

That leftist prissy Stephen Colbert was surprised by the laughter after he said CNN was objective.

Now someone could get some kneeslapping guffaws if we said “This is a free country” or “We have freedom of speech.”🤣

ESPN is behind the NIL madness, which is killing “ college “ sports.

There’ll be a place for her on FNC and the right-wing independents.
