BREAKING: ESPN has *FIRED* Samantha Steele Ponder, who is one of the ONLY women at the network to speak out against biological men playing in women's sports. Ponder made headlines in May 2023, when she agreed with swimmer Riley Gaines speaking out against Lia Thomas participating in women's swimming. Ponder quote tweeted Gaines and said that it is not “hateful to demand fairness in sports for girls.” USA Today columnist Nancy Armour attacked Ponder for her views. She claimed that they reflected "bigotry" and were a "sham." Ponder, who served as the host of ESPN’s NFL Countdown since 2017, responded to Armour’s criticism. She tweeted that “biology is not bigotry” and added that “loving people does not require the absence of boundaries.” Former ESPN colleague Sage Steele, who has become a vocal advocate for biological integrity in competitive sports, backed Ponder's views. "Pathetic attack on a WOMAN who is simply fighting for other WOMEN in sports," she clapped back. " Chooses to lead her emotions vs facts. 'Follow the science', right?! When in doubt, just pull the bigot/race card! Comical. Stay strong Samantha Steele Ponder .. this is a lonely fight, but it's worth it!" ESPN claims Ponder was terminated due to "budget cuts."

Allison: I was told there was a mandate. The Republicans had a mandate that they were going to be able to govern and do whatever they want. Well do what you want, pass the bill, but you can't because you know why? Williams: We can’t because it takes 60 Allison: Then you don’t have a mandate

The Five co-host, Jessica Tarlov, on a government shutdown: “Democrats don’t want people to get fired. Democrats don’t want people to lose their healthcare, but I think the Republican Party is trying to act like they have the upper hand, and they just don’t on the merits.” “We saw what happens when you give Republicans the votes. We did that in March, and they have governed by and for themselves. They think they don't have to negotiate when typically on these kinds of things… you do that because you don't have the 60 votes to do it.”

“I knew when I sent that … this isn’t going to go over very well. But to me, that’s abuse.” Samantha Steele Ponder didn’t stay silent when a female boxer was being physically beaten by a biological male in the ring. She tweeted: “Enough.” Within a week, the call came from her bosses at ESPN. In this raw, honest moment, Sam opens up about the real reason she believes ESPN fired her. And it’s not just because of that tweet — but because she refused to compromise her values and her role as a mom of 3 young kids. This is what it looks like to speak the truth, even when it costs you.
