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.
