Beth Faber knows sports. She knows sports media. She knows sports fans and what they want to hear and see when the game is on the line. Faber knows all of this because she’s been doing sports media with ESPN for nearly three decades.
But ESPN just fired Beth Faber, not because she reported something inaccurately, or failed to show up on time for a broadcast or refused an assignment. She was fired because her religious faith tells her not to be vaccinated against Covid.
How valued an employee was she? Here’s how Front Office Sports (FOS) described her in the introduction to a 2019 interview:
“Faber has been with ESPN Radio as a producer since its beginning in 1992. She is also is the only person in the industry that has been the lead radio producer for every BCS National Championship and CFB Playoff Championship game. She also has been part of ESPN Radio’s NBA productions every year since the network acquired the rights, and is also involved with MLB and NFL broadcasts.”
And here’s how Faber describes herself for Twitter: “Faith-Filled Mom/Producer/ESPN Radio Original/Faith over Fear always/Love to learn, listen to all sides-then ask LOTS of questions—-my kids hate this part of me.” Clearly, Faber is a serious sports radio journalist of the highest professional caliber. Sounds like a great Mom, too.
Faber’s termination came after an extended negotiation/discussion with network officials in which she made clear that her declining to be vaccinated is based entirely on her Christian faith.
She complied with federal law, Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which protects employees from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, transgender status, and sexual orientation), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.

‘Faber’s termination came after an extended negotiation/discussion with network officials in which she made clear that her declining to be vaccinated is based entirely on her Christian faith.’
does she refuse other medical treatments for herself and her family...?
RE: I hope she sues and wins millions.
If she does, she ain’t gonna win in California’s courts, this case has the potential to go all the way to the SCOTUS. And I hope it does if the Federal Courts don’t protect her constitutional rights.
RE: does she refuse other medical treatments for herself and her family...?
If the medical treatments were developed using aborted fetal lines, I’d say the answer is yes.
And that's your business, why?
The experimental Covid injection is not a medical treatment by any understanding of the definition. What point are you trying to make?
Misplaced joke. In another situation it could be funny. Timing is everything.
no one ever accused me of being funny...
To the cleaners.
Title VII Defense to Covid Vax
On that website, scroll down and there is a VERY GOOD template to use for religious accommodation.
Request for Religious Accommodation Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
I got that website bookmarked and I downloaded that form. I'm gonna show this to my boss next week, see what he thinks. Even though he can't use it (being uniformed military), I can since I'm only a GS employee.
Can't wait to rattle the cages at the military base I work at!
Doesn’t matter if she never refused ANYTHING else of a medical nature.
No one, especially not the government or anything else, gets to probe a person’s mind, beliefs or soul as to their claim of religious exemption to the covid vaccine.
At that moment she claimed a sincerely held religious belief and NO ONE can say otherwise for her.
bkmk for when i need this
Sue, Sue, SUE, my good woman.
The politically correct bullies need to be sued, sued, sued, and bankrupted.
Sad that you accept the premise she has to give a “good reason” to refuse.
But Jeffrey Toobin gets his job back after masturbating on a Zoom call.
Apparently, you’re wrong.
Enjoy the ratio.
What is ESPN’s reasoning? The “vaccine” does not keep one from contracting nor spreading Covid. It essentially makes the vaccinated superspreaders because they allegedly have lesser symptoms yet higher viral loads.
