Former ESPN host Sage Steele joined Clay to explain how the vaccine mandate forced her to sue ESPN and leave the network, her inability to speak her mind freely on trans athletes and other political issues at ESPN and how she has dealt with being called “not black enough” by ESPN colleagues and on social media.

Life update.
Having successfully settled my case with ESPN/Disney, I have decided to leave so I can exercise my first amendment rights more freely. I am grateful for so many wonderful experiences over the past 16 years and am excited for my next chapter!#SteeleStrong
