ESPN likely wanted to get rid of her sooner but they didn't want to be seen as attacking a woman of color who was 'speaking truth to power' about Trump.

Now that the controversy died down it's safe to get rid of her.

I thought this was old news weeks ago that she was out at ESPN. Supposedly they wanted to be non political but then on the same day they had another story that was political.

Forked tongue.

She was basically sent from an anchor job on their flagship show, to working in the basement mailroom. I’m sure she thought she would return in triumph at some point, but finally figured out it was not gonna happen. She may land a spot on some other sports network, or may end up wishing she had kept her cushy but invisible job in the basement.

ESPN was good when it wasn’t owned by Disney. When it was owned by Getty and Hearst media, it was the best...now, I don’t watch it...
