Former ESPN anchor Sage Steele went on “The Megyn Kelly Show” last week to discuss leaving the Worldwide Leader.
Leave it to Stephen A. Smith to debate himself.
The “First Take” host used his podcast this week to address the departure of Sage Steele from ESPN andagainst ESPN last week and left the network, told Kelly she was being held to a different standard than her colleagues, saying, “You can’t have it both ways.
“If I say something and it ultimately costs ESPN dollars and as a result ESPN says, ‘You got to go,’ they’re not saying I have to go because of my politics. They’re saying I have to go because I compromised their bottom line. And I think that’s the position all corporations should take, as opposed to trying to curtail or silence anybody because you think their individual words are going to be a reflection on the whole. It is not, when you let everybody speak.
Smith, now the de facto face of ESPN, said he’s talked to Steele since her departure and teased a possible future appearance by her on the podcast.
