Sage Steele isn’t holding back. The former ESPN star slammed activists for twisting sports into race battles instead of celebrating talent. Her fiery take comes as an Eagles quarterback refused a White House visit and critics tried to politicize Shedeur Sanders’ NFL draft position.
When a Super Bowl champ skipped the White House, Steele called it childish. “Grow up,” she said. Honoring the presidency isn’t about politics — it’s about respect for the office and the fans who supported your team’s journey to victory.
Some analysts tried to claim Shedeur Sanders slid in the draft because of his race. Steele blasted that narrative. “STOP making this about race,” she fired. Sanders earned his spot through hard work, not skin color. Real fans care about skill — not woke distractions.
Steele knows ESPN’s double standards firsthand. The network punished her for questioning vaccine mandates but let Shannon Sharpe stay on air amid serious assault allegations. Conservative voices get silenced while bad behavior gets a pass if you push leftist talking points.
ESPN’s bias is part of a bigger problem. Mega-corporations and media elites would rather virtue-signal than uphold real values. They attack patriots who love America but coddle radicals who tear down our traditions.
This race-baiting poison is dividing America. Every draft pick and trophy shouldn’t be a social justice lecture. Most Americans just want to cheer their teams without politics shoved down their throats.
Sports used to unite us. Now activists exploit athletes to push agendas. Steele’s message is clear: Let players compete. Let fans enjoy the game. Stop turning every highlight into a woke hashtag.
Sage Steele’s courage is a rallying cry. In a world gone mad with political correctness, she stands tall for common sense. It’s time to ditch the victim mentality and get back to what made sports great — merit, grit, and American pride.
