EXCLUSIVE: Why Former ESPN Host Sage Steele SUED Disney and BEAT Cancel Culture | Erick Stakelbeck
Host Erick Stakelbeck sits down with former ESPN anchor Sage Steele for an exclusive interview as Sage unpacks her very public and tumultuous experience with cancel culture. Openly expressing her conservative views made her a target at ESPN and exposed the company’s left-wing bias. It led to her eventual departure from ESPN but not before she sued the “sports leader” and its parent company, Disney, and won. Sage’s fight against cancel culture awakened her spirit to stand for truth and also drew her closer to God as her faith grew amid trials and tribulations. As a public figure who’s dealt with the excessive blowback of holding conservative views, what advice would she give for espousing beliefs contrary to what’s politically correct? Don’t miss host Erick Stakelbeck’s exclusive interview on The StaksCast.

I wish too. Cancel culture keeps oppressing. God's people needs to stand up.
She’s a great fighter. Good for her.
She has such a strong, beautiful testimony. Good for her. Keep your eyes up towards the Lord, girl. God bless
You did the right thing. I'm glad you won. Mr. Disney would not like what has become of his company.

God bless you, Sage Steele. Proud of you. Beautiful testimony to the world. Thank you for your courage, integrity and faith. You are a light in the darkness. Keep shining.
I haven't heard all her stories yet, but I'm so impressed with her love for her father.
Such a lovely lady, intelligent, vocal presence, articulate, and spiritually anchored. She doesn't over dress, but she also doesn't have holes in the knees of her jeans. I so appreciate that! ❤
Go Sage!❤ You are a gift to humanity❤
This is a great conversation. Sage is an inspiration. Both King David and Mephibosheth faced cancel culture and overcame diversity. Parts of Sage's story reminded me of them. I enjoyed listening.
She is gourgeous all around, Thank you for fighting for what is right.
You are an Ester dear sister you have the anointing for this thank s for your boldness

Amazing woman of courage, God loves you Sage and has wonderful plan for your life .
As a Michigan resident, I am just appalled and actually sad that we have a city in Dearborn Michigan that I think is going to become the norm in this country- having Hamas sympathizers dictating policy in America - this is crazy
Sage Steele is a truly special and Blessed woman! It's sad to see how our world is crumbling, especially USA, in front of our eyes 👀! It's a Real battle between Good and evil. In Christ Jesus, we win and Overcome! God bless you Sage and Eric!
GREAT SHOW!! Love her ❤
Sage is such a blessing to all of us.

Good energy, Micheal, my the power of positive thinking through encouragement is so amazing 👏. Is cancel culture found in the body of christ. We, too, can become legalistic.
This was great 🙃🤗 amen! I'm so glad of how much God has expanded Eric's platform. I knew a while ago he was going to have alot more. So glad the Lord and TBN have blessed him so much.
So, we finally have the answer to, "What is a woman?"
Great show
For such a time as this✝️ He will lead in his paths of righteousness and cover with His wings and no weapon formed against you will prosper. Fear not He is with you🙏🔥❤️

As soon as I heard being attacked and then getting sick all I could think was that the enemy was desperate to destroy. Praise God that He and the Holy Spirit within us is stronger than any enemy attack. If God is for us - who can be against us!!
