Sage Steele Sues ESPN For Free Speech Violations

Sage Steele, an ESPN employee is sue her network over a number of possible free speech offenses dating back to last year.

In September of 2021, Steele made an appearance on a podcast with former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler, in which she criticized Disney (ESPN’s parent company) for their sweeping employee vaccine mandate. Steele, and other employees had to be forced against their wills or fired. It was something she found disgusting.

“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 on the podcast. “I just, I’m not surprised it got to this point, especially with Disney, I mean a global company like that.”

The second offense mentioned in the lawsuit highlights how Steele claimed Barack Obama was biracial, which caused her to be temporarily suspended by ESPN.

Now ESPN says that there is a company policy Steele violated, a policy that “prohibits news personnel from publicly opining on political or social issues.”

Allow me to be the first person to state that Steele’s standards are nonsense.

There have been many ESPN broadcasts dedicated to social justice. Heck, they even have a blog called ANDSCAPE associated with their website that does nothing but bring a black perspective on everything from culture to sports. Blog site tagline: “Blackness, infinite”

Furthermore, we need to look no further than one of ESPN’s most recognizable talk show hosts, such as the long-winded Stephen A. Smith, to see that ESPN only reprimands its employees when they do not comply with the woke agenda.

ESPN doesn’t care if employees think conservatively, but they do care if their commentators are left-leaning on issues of social and culture.

This is just one example of the ideologically contaminated ESPN and the farce they are at.
