You heard it here first! The women were the ones that shunned her and the men were not. I’m so sick of these girls and women today talk about patriarchy and how men are holding them back. You’d think it was the 1950s. These young girls have no idea how good they have it today and in some cases they are even a favored class. Frankly, it’s disgusting.

@ernestinedavis3000 no, she isn't? Black is predominant. She has Black features. If you saw her and didn't know one of her parents was white, one would automatically call her Black base on strong BLACK/Afro features. When a so-called biracial( from white and Black parents) commit a crime, they don't say biracial. They say Black woman or man. There's biology, and there's Slavery. Slavery has nothing to do with that. She has strong dark Afro features, which should be a compliment because she's aging graceful because of the strong rich melanin from her dad. Not to be insulting or mean, but White people by 35 look 55 or older, especially white women.

@ernestinedavis3000 They never look white. It took a lot of hiding in other for a black person to pass as white. in order for them to pass as white, they went through so much self hate to protect/hide their blackness or true identity. Not staying in the sun, keeping their hair pressed and straight, bleaching their skin, praying for their strong afro DNA not to reveal in their offsprings, etc... I do understand because it was easier to pretend to be white than be colored. You are right. They must have love and respect for both parents, but that doesn't mean ignoring the biological fact that AFRICAN blood is predominant and these offsprings are SIMPLY black, no half white or half black. Very soon, this world will be 99% blacks and 1% of others because the black DNA is stronger. I'm all for it. For example, the Kardashians family is 75% blacks now, so once these kids start having kids with other blacks, it will be 100% rich Kardashians blacks. 😀 This lady is black and hates her blackness. She and all her siblings married white people to washed out their blackness. Well, they got it from their coon daddy who could not marry a black queen instead.

Enough about that loser. Exactly, lets talk about this amazing lady Sage Steele. What an amazing lady. Can't wait to follow her in her up coming successes. Good Luck.

ESPN didn’t and don’t deserve a Excellent Woman like Sage! They treated her bad for years just because she had a different opinion and didn’t go along with company BS!! Just like Carley!!

It's not just ESPN. Where ever women are the environment is "toxic".

So beautiful as always she will be back on media soon I'm sure

My wife has managed a ton of people at her work and prefers managing men 99 times out of 100.

Love you sage!! Thanks for fighting for us!! Also biracial!!

Thank you Megyn for this interview Sage. Both of you are terrific professionals!!

Really! Back biting in the broadcasting profession. I'm shocked. Give me a break. People in this profession would push over their grandmother to get ahead.

Yep. It’s almost always women who try to cut you down professionally, not men. I feel so strongly about teaching, helping, and lifting other women. Sage understands that to succeed and be at peace with yourself, generosity is always the way forward. Grateful Megyn had her on as a guest- inspiring! ✨

So very pretty and sweet.

Sage you are amazing!!!!

She was one of my favorite journalists on espn. She is very knowledgeable and has great on air personalities.

All Americans must be alive now, spreading the TRUTH...and yes, i agree with Sage, it's time to get tired listening to "LIES" and sugarcoat simple truths and common sense..............we, all (especially Women) must be awake NOW!

I've always loved Sage Steele. And I've had a crush too :)

Sage is such a stunning woman in every way--mind, body and spirit! Hope she'll attain her greatest success in the very near future. God bless you, Sage!

Hold on. Steel is 50. What a knockout on top of being so talented.

Raging misogyny isn't a thing. It's never been a thing.

She has a point about not seeing woman to woman mentorship and that isn't because of anything men do.

Sage has nothing to worry about. There are SO many sports fans that do not watch ESPN, other than their televised games, and have not been exposed to her. I NEVER watch ESPN sports center or any of their shows just because of politics and I have never seen her on sports center. Now I look forward to seeing more of her in a non ESPN role.

Elegant and graceful

On October 5, 2021, Steele was suspended with pay by ESPN for remarks she made on Jay Cutler's September 29 podcast about COVID-19 vaccine mandates, women who dress in a way she feels is provocative, and Barack Obama calling himself black even though he, like Steele, has a white mother.[16] In conjunction with her suspension, Steele issued an apology: "I know my recent comments created controversy for the company, and I apologize. We are in the midst of an extremely challenging time that impacts all of us, and it's more critical than ever that we communicate constructively and thoughtfully."[17] Steele filed a lawsuit against ESPN in April 2022, alleging that the network had retaliated against her in the months following the suspension. Steele's suit accused ESPN of taking opportunities away from her and steadily degrading her career, alleging that her free speech rights were being curtailed through ESPN's retaliation against her for comments she had made as a private citizen. The parties settled the lawsuit in August 2023, at which point Steele left the network.[18][19] Personal life Edit Steele married Jonathan Bailey in 1999. Together, they have three children, two daughters and one son. They divorced in 2019.[20][21][22][23] In March 2021, Steele put her home in Avon, Connecticut on the market for $1.6 million,[24] after doing extensive renovations.[3] Steele was on the board of the Pat Tillman Foundation. In 2019 she was named to the board of the V Foundation for cancer research.[14] Steele has made comments opposing the inclusion of Transgender people in sports. On June 6, 2023, Steele retweeted a tweet that called trans activists "evil and vicious".[25]
