Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Sage Steele about leaving ESPN and cancel culture behind; surviving divorce and single parenting; rebuilding her life in Florida; balancing personal struggles while broadcasting on live TV; learning to date after 27 years of marriage; how standing up to Disney and ESPN changed her life path; coping with loneliness while co-parenting; learning to set standards in love and life; showing her kids resilience through personal failure and renewal; reflecting on her ESPN career covering the NBA Finals and leaving on her own terms; how Aaron Rodgers’ cancellation deepened their friendship and exposed media hypocrisy; frustrations with cowardly public figures who privately agree but stay silent; being vindicated for questioning COVID narratives early on; calling out a WNBA broadcaster’s inappropriate comment and its impact on young viewers; discussing racial, financial, and identity tensions in women’s sports; and much more.
