Steele, who left ESPN last year after settling a lawsuit with the network, appeared on Thursday night's edition of the talk show to discuss abortion rights ahead of this month's US election. During the debate, the television host and Donald Trump supporter claimed there are currently no laws preventing babies from being aborted when they are born, an accusation which was challenged by political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen. 'Have things changed? Yes,' Steele said. 'But there are plenty of states...

Former ESPN host Sage Steele revealed that her 2021 interview with President Biden was “scripted” by network executives. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Steele recalled the “structured” nature of the pre-taped interview, so much so that her ESPN bosses handed her a “script” to go off of. “That was an interesting experience in its own right because it was so structured,” Steele said. “And I was told, ‘You will say every word that we write out, you will not deviate from the script and go.’” (snip) “I think it’s really heartbreaking that the people who love Joe Biden...

MSNBC's Tiffany Cross is a self-appointed "keeper of the [African-American] culture" and thus someone in a position to decide who is — and is not — an authentic "Black voice." Back in reality, one could deem her a racist for deciding whether fellow Black people are truly Black or instead treasonous to their race. Saturday morning on her show The Cross Connection, her themes were ones of bitterness and jealousy. Cross dismissed the Blackness of people like Sage Steele, Van Jones, and Carlos Watson because they get financial support from wealthy whites and thus "have that gift of making white...

ESPN on-air personality Sage Steele went public with concerns she has with the Walt Disney Company’s vaccine mandate, which includes employees of the sports network. During an appearance on the “Uncut with Jay Cutler” podcast, Steele explained that she had gotten vaccinated against COVID-19 that day but “didn’t want to do it.” SNIP “I respect everyone’s decision, I really do, but to mandate it is sick and it’s scary to me in many ways,” Steele said. “I just, I’m not surprised it got to this point, especially with Disney, I mean a global company like that.”

ESPN, the cable sports network that’s been hemorrhaging viewers for months, asked their hosts to get more political. But when Sage Steele, a black, conservative-leaning host did just that, they replaced her with someone far more liberal. Recently, Steele complained that the anti-Trump protestors demonstrating against the president’s travel ban at their airport caused her to miss her flight. In February, she spurred controversy by saying she’s faced more racism from black people than from people of other races. {..snip..}

With the NBA playoffs less than two weeks away, ESPN is making a major roster change.

A conference on race took place at The Crossing Church in Tampa Bay, Florida, last week. The forum, titled “Under Our Skin,” attracted sports figures such as Super Bowl champion Tony Dungy, former player Ben Watson, and current ESPN anchor Sage Steele. The forum’s purpose was to “discuss the intersection of race and faith in America today.” That topic certainly received plenty of coverage at the conference. More notable, however, is how no one in the sports media covered what was actually said there.
