There's no "might" to it. No question that's why. Tim Tebow, RGIII, and Ponder all had the same views relatively speaking ...no coincidence they're no longer there. But they're better off for it.

For everyone arguing, think about it this way. No one in the sec respects clemson because the acc is weak. Almost any sec team can beat any other sec team. That is not case for other conferences. Remember back in 2007? LSU beat basically every top 10 team but lost to unranked teams. They were the best team that year despite the losses. If strength of schedule is not considered, you're going to find that your team will schedule maybe two or three decent games and the rest will be cupcakes. And you won't find any challenging games outside of conference. That's what this is. Play weak teams and get rewarded.

This isn’t new ESPN fired Mike Ditka and Curt Schilling for their political views years ago.
Yeah exactly. Its not about where your politics are. They as a business want to keep politics out of their business and thats their right.
@@MSSynsyterGates B.S., they were good with the BLM crap.
Yet they promote gay shyyt all time .@@MSSynsyterGates
Schilling went overboard. Being perceived as objective is critical when you're hired to be a SPORTS commentator, not a FOX news reporter. Stay in your lane or change environments.
@ really? Because ESPN, MSNBC and, CNN don’t even try to be objective. They couldn’t be more left wing propagandist if they tried.
As a minority of the minorities minority, I’m kind of getting tired of the people getting fired for being themselves.
There is no need for common sense at DEISPN
Sam is my favorite female sports reporter. She's classy and gorgeous! I really liked her on College Gameday. Screw ESPN!
Agreed. And she doesn't have to dress like a streetwalker to look beautiful. FOX Sports would do well to pick her up.
ESPN is a joke wtf she was great
Good, more wrongful terminations = more lawsuits = more money out of Disney's pockets. Hope these two make bank.
I'm sure her contract had a provision in it that she could not be fired for ANY REASON! LOL!!!
Yea, their depressing pointless movies starring wannabe actors that crap all over the fans aren’t costing them enough.
I’m pretty sure that she can plead her case to Trump and end up with more than 1 million.
Lololol not wrongful termination
So she got fired for telling the truth? Sounds like she's better off
Im so disappointed and angry for her responsibility to respect anyone else that has different love choices might be healthier nfor her too just support her from afar . So Loved And protected always
Even though she was grossly overpaid. I still think she was done dirty. RG3 too! Hope they sue and bankrupt the network
Someone should have sent a memo to all employees of ESPN is owned by Disney
ok, then that explains it ! When will this foolishness end. This time has to be the biggest joke in history. Gotta watch those pronouns?
What would that matter? The ones in ESPN who are woke and Betas will cower to that narrative and instructions to bow to the small handful of belligerent abnormal people who want to bash you into obedience. Ponder is not one of those and won't stand for it. If you don't stand for truth, you will eventually be crushed by the lies.
Yep there is only he she or it!
They send them little pieces of paper with dollar signs on them every month. And yet they stay! Can you imagine?
She's too smart for that job anyway. May Father bless her with a better job.
That wasn’t political what she said she spoke the truth
One reason ESPN has tanked
Which is why they are firing people like this.
Since all the white supremacist started watching and commenting , it started going down .
@@ehsfb20011 soon as the right wing started taking over , it's was all downhill 😔
Sam Ponder really holding up ESPN?
About to cancel my ESPN membership. If that’s a political statement (something that has been try for million of years), then this is not America. I won’t give money to an agency of such. You should cancel yours, if you had it. This is why people elected Trump. The cancel culture nonsense must stop.
ESPN denies science......no surprise there 💯
Saying men have XY and women have XX chromosomes is a fire able offense???? This is why I haven't watched ESPN in years, after watching it pretty much everyday for the previous 15 years
well she was correct and should sue for wrongful termination.
There's no "might" to it. No question that's why. Tim Tebow, RGIII, and Ponder all had the same views relatively speaking ...no coincidence they're no longer there. But they're better off for it.
Fired for telling the TRUTH !
So they got fired for being correct? So glad we canceled Dis+
I remember meeting Mrs. Samantha Ponder when she used to do college game day and let me tell you how beautiful and classy of a woman she is... The best part about all this was I got to take a picture with her and she put her arms around me and being happy as hell that she did that because I did the same.. That was a great morning.. Love and Salute to the beautiful and classy Samantha Ponder!!!
How do you fire somebody over answering a question correctly????????????????
It should be a felony!
I hope to see the end of ESPN in my lifetime. They are a joke
Suggesting that hosting NFL Countdown only requires ‘20 days a year’ is misleading and silly- you think she was just winging it every Sunday, no preparation required? Lol, uhh no
I agree completely. That was very disingenuous.
So stating scientific fact is grounds for dismissal? Weren’t we told to trust the science? 🤔
When is someone in the public eye going to have the balls to say Men shouldn’t play in women’s sports but women could play in men’s sports… that would be fair and logical
They didn’t like that they stated in a tweet a scientific fact
She wasn’t wrong 🤷🏿♂️
Haven't watched or listened to ESPN in over five years , and never will again, because of this crap.
Those weren’t political tweets. Those were just facts.
Hope they get a good lawyer and sue the hell out of Disney and ESPN
Disney owns ESPN..........
Imagine firing someone for knowing basic biology
It wasn't politics, it was the wrong politics according to ESPN
what they like to call it... NOT MISinformation but she put out, according to the lefties....DISinformation🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️😆😆😆... Disney sucks ass, with a straw anyway. lol
YES! She should leave and take all the studios, broadcast licenses, and cameras & equipment with her. Oh, you say that's owned by the network? Well, um, okay. Then she should just leave! There, problem solved.
A $1,000,000.00… for what? Been long gone outta cable and any f’ing organized sports that are broadcast on TV. I refuse to subsidize sports through cable tv.
The two acceptable, firing in my opinion, is if you're not doing your job. Or if you publicly state you want bad things to happen to ppl. All bc they have a different opinion than you. IDC if I agree, or disagree with ppl politically, firing ppl over their own political views is not! right.
Hotter than bacon grease
Amazing people getting heated up over 2 people getting overpaid and let go 😂
Right, it could never be that ESPN is hemmoraging viewers, due to letting a ton of their talent walk.
Ah Nope! Still watching especially College football 🤣, I honestly don’t care about any of that gender stuff and I don’t let it affect me one way or another! Don’t care!!
I hope they both got good lawyers , it seems like it is a case of free speech vs a corporation's policy
Free Speech isn't protected in the Private Sector... Free Speech is protection that the Government doesn't persecute for speaking against the Government... 🙄😏
@@dionrobinson8053party pooper..
@@dionrobinson8053 your wrong just because a corporation has a policy does not make it officially legal any policy can be challenged in court it's up to a judge whether or not to uphold or deny the legality of the claim
They got fired for telling the truth? That's terrible. I guess I can't say I won't be watching ESPN because I already don't. I didn't believe in sports athletes getting paid millions of dollars to play games when we have active military families, veterans and first responders struggling to make ends meet and they tie up their boots and go to work and get it done putting their lives in danger every shift.
She's too good for ESPN anyway ❤❤
Ponder is only stating the science
For everyone arguing, think about it this way. No one in the sec respects clemson because the acc is weak. Almost any sec team can beat any other sec team. That is not case for other conferences. Remember back in 2007? LSU beat basically every top 10 team but lost to unranked teams. They were the best team that year despite the losses. If strength of schedule is not considered, you're going to find that your team will schedule maybe two or three decent games and the rest will be cupcakes. And you won't find any challenging games outside of conference. That's what this is. Play weak teams and get rewarded.
She was fired for being right? 🤷♂️
You think XY and XX are the only combinations?
How did you pass grade 8 biology?
@@pranays what other combinations are there other than XY and XX? Besides male and female?
Nah...it sounds like they didn't want to keep paying her a million plus expenses for 20 days a year work.
You do realize they all make about that much right? It’s woke politics.
@@jimmyjam5453 you be quiet and listen to the weirdo.
HOW about paying Tom Brady 37 million for 20 days a year?
@@koolkitties8552he works for fox and is probably the best qb of all time
@koolkitties8552 He's worth it, he put the work in to be able to talk about football. What about her? What has she done for football apart from being blonde and somewhat attractive?
No wonder why so many ex ESPN employees left to Latino networks and worked for the competition now
I knew RG3 was going to get fired when he posted nuanced stuff and didn’t call for hating Trump.
I didn't realize that about RGIII. He had made quite a few woke statements, so don't appreciate his many stances on that perspective, but yeah, to support (or not slam) President Trump would have been the main death blow. RGIII wasn't a great commentator, but I have to re-evaluate his personal stance.
Wrong, rg3 got fired for the comments he made towards the sec reporter. The reporter went to ESPN and 3 days later rg3 was fired. Paul finebaum is reporter...
@ so either way he got fired by woke offended losers
@@jkscott111 What did he say?
Trump is still a traitor to this country and so many white people looked at Kamala Harris and Trump and still voted for his ignorant, racist ass.
ESPN is done..
Who would have thought we would be here today dealing with this where something miniscule as this would ruin your career or life
Damn. Sam Ponder is fine. And Based. Double threat.
LGBT-ESPN
Look what they did to Rush Limbaugh!
Everyone please remember and implement this Policy. In this Country, "Go Woke, Go Broke"! Boycott Disney.
I never watch ESPN except when there are games on!
Haha you really think Disney it’s going to suffer because a few rednecks tune out? 😂
Everyone always says “go woke, go broke”, but can you honestly tell me one major company who actually was significantly affected by it? I feel like it’s a phrase that people love to say, but means nothing real.
@@aaronmiller8550 Yeah, Bud Light. Lost billions.
@@bobbobby-o2w have you looked at Anheuser-Busch lately? They lost money in Aug/Sept of 2023, but by April 2024 their stock hit a 3 year high dating back to even before the boycott. Can you give me an example where a company was affected significantly for more than 1-3 months?
