Sam Ponder breaks silence on ‘legit crazy’ reasons for ESPN firing one year after shocking exit

Fonte: New York Post

Sam Ponder ties her shocking ESPN exit last year to her views on transgender athletes and an infrequent work schedule, and believes some of the reasoning for it is “legit crazy. ” Ponder, who spent 14 years with the Worldwide Leader before being let go last August, provided her first deep dive on her dismissal on Wednesday’s episode of “The Sage Steele Show” and primarily linked it to a chain of events coinciding with a July 2023 retweet about transgender athletes. “I don’t really think me losing my job was solely because of that, but the timing of it almost certainly was,” Ponder said while opening up on her exit.
