Sage Steele frees herself from ESPN after 16 years so she can speak her mind more freely.
“Life Update,” began Steele’s post on X, formerly Twitter. “After successfully resolving my case with ESPN/Disney, I have decided to leave so that I can more freely exercise my right of first amendment. I am grateful for so many wonderful experiences over the past 16 years and look forward to my next chapter!’
Steele sued the network in April 2022 after alleging that ESPN violated her First Amendment and free speech rights in Connecticut by suspending her over comments about former President Barack Obama and the COVID-19 vaccine.
