Sage Steele is leaving ESPN after settling her first amendment lawsuit against ESPN

Longtime SportsCenter co-anchor Sage Steele has decided to leave ESPN after settling her lawsuit against the network and Disney.
“Having successfully settled my case with ESPN/Disney, I have decided to leave so I can exercise my first amendment rights more freely,” Steele revealed Tuesday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. I am grateful for so many wonderful experiences over the past 16 years and am excited for my next chapter!”
Steele sued ESPN and corporate parent Disney in April 2022 for allegedly violating both her contract ad free speech rights.
In her lawsuit, Steele alleged she had been “sidelined” by the network in 2021 after she made controversial remarks about ESPN’s Covid policy and former President Barack Obama’s ethnic identity, questioning the fact the Obama identifies as Black, given the circumstances of his upbringing.
Steele’s announcement comes as ESPN has been working to cut costs and has laid off some 20 on-air personalities including NBA game analyst Jeff Van Gundy and studio co-host Jalen Rose.

First of all, thank you OP for following the rules 
But they had to see the writing on the wall when she won; I would imagine it has been such a toxic work environment and she probably won't get the best opportunities even with the win.
Anyone else find it odd that they felt the need to specifically point out these two?

Good for her.
I thought Jeff Van Gundy was on TNT.
I like Van Gundy calling games.

She looks okay in pictures. I've met her before. She's super nice and friendly. She's tall and really pretty in person. Like model vibes

Pretty sure she was a military brat so she doesn't fall in line with the typical liberal journalists.

Congrats to Sage! She was too good for that network anyway.
