Sage Steele

[wicked]

I like her, in general. I've been watching her for 20 years. There's a reason why she's lasted as long as she has in the business. But if I didn't know anything else but the past couple weeks, I'd think she's trying to nuke her career (at least her career at ESPN).

JFC. Glad to see her participating in the backwards movement of women.

She's been quietly like this for years. She ****ed up and shared her "thoughts" a little too loudly this time.

A few year ago she lost her **** because a protest against Trump's migrant ban meant she had to walk a little farther to get to her gate at LAX.

Sage Steele is an asshole.

Stop the Steele

The Steele Dossier is a thing.

Sonuvabitch. Tucker Carlson was right; he is about to be replaced by a black person.

Now she'll never get to host Jeopardy

 

[TowelWaver]

And she'll be decrying cancel culture in 3...2...

Notice how she is so proud of herself for knowing that she should refuse to accept a date with an athlete in exchange for information, not because it would have been wrong, but because it would have undermined her career.

If she wants to laugh it off and move on - fine for her and it worked. She is, however, not making it any easier for others in a similar situation by enabling that behavior in a locker room. I guess it's not her job, but others before her did consider it a responsibility.

I always got strong Condi Rice vibes from her. Clearly a smart, talented person trapped inside a stilted personality.

Black lives only matter when they are Democrat

The media is a liberal monolith. There are no conservatives in media.

Seems like she's been suspended.

A member since 2017 makes this their 15th post. :rolleyes:

They might have even let the Obama race ID comment (which smacks of the birth certificate stuff) slide if she hadn't also been vocally anti-vaccine mandate - then tested Covid positive.

I could've sworn I posted this on this thread, but I think this is a great example of nurture over nature. Steele's father is a West Point grad, and after he got out, they lived in Colorado Springs and central Indiana. My point is that let's not act surprised that she's to the right of Jemele Hill (or for that matter just about anyone at ESPN).

That doesn't excuse some of this ****housery but as a (mostly) black, conservative woman, she probably figures, what's the worst that could happen? Pay raise and a one-way ticket to Fox and Friends to become "Real America"'s black friend?

Blah blah blah, saying that women basically get what they deserve when they dress like women is f***** up beyond belief. And that's basically what she said.

Sad Covid trombone.

“I do know, for me personally, I feel... defeated,” she said of her futile resistance. “To mandate it is sick.”
