Longtime ESPN SportsCenter co-anchor Sage Steele, who ruffled feathers by denouncing the company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, has announced she’s leaving the network so that she can be less constrained in the expression of her First Amendment rights.

Ms. Steele said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that her decision to leave the network comes after setting her lawsuit with ESPN and its corporate parent Walt Disney.
