ESPN college football reporter Allison Williams announced on Friday that she has decided to leave the network after her request for an exemption to the company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate was rejected.

The sports broadcaster, who last month announced that she was opting out of the season over ESPN’s vaccine mandate while she and her husband “try for a second child,” said on Friday night that her “request for accommodation” had been denied.
