Sam Ponder’s ESPN Exit: More Than Money?

Longtime NFL Countdown host Sam Ponder just dropped some real talk on why she was let go by ESPN. Turns out, it wasn’t just about contract dollars. Ponder says her outspoken stance on biological men competing in women’s sports—especially after the Olympic boxing controversy—made execs uncomfortable. She admits her social posts ruffled feathers, but also points to ESPN’s shifting priorities and her own family focus. What do you think—was this a fair call by the network, or did Ponder get sidelined for speaking her mind? #Sports #SamPonder #ESPN
