Allison Williams, a veteran college football sideline reporter for ESPN, announced on Thursday that she will be opting out of the season because she will not take the COVID-19 vaccine.
“While my work is incredibly important to me, the most important role I have is as a mother,” she wrote in a statement on Twitter. “Throughout our family planning with our doctor, as well as a fertility specialist, I have decided not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at this time while my husband and I try for a second child.
“This was a deeply difficult decision to make and it’s not something I take lightly. I understand vaccines have been essential in the effort to end this pandemic; however, taking the vaccine at this time is not in my best interest.

Finally someone at ESPN I might be able to respect.
You can respect her and I do too but not at ESPN. Good for her.
Good.
Disney is a malicious corporation.
FU, Disney.
Not Guilty!!
No one should ever have to explain why they’re resisting govt tyranny.
A true patriot who, as patriots do, follows the science.
Not to mention that if the vaxx injured or killed her, her family would have zero means of financial redress.
Good on her though. She and her family are better off morally and better off in the long run.
She looks to be not guilty.
Cannot express how proud I am of her-—& I don’t even have pay TV to watch ESPN.
She might be as leftist as the others there.
It’s a job requirement for ESPN to be a America Hating woke leftist. They’ve ran off most all their patriotic, right of center on air talent years ago!
Oh yes, I know. It’s why I stopped watching them many years ago.
Same here. They’ve lost millions of viewers and subscribers and mostly losing money since they decided to go woke!
The only thing keeping them financially viable is all the customer fees they get from cable and satellite providers. God help ESPN, CNN and others if cable and satellite providers offered their customers ala carte programming where the customer picks which networks they will watch/pay for as part of their package!
