OutKick was acquired by Fox Corp. in 2021.
After former Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines slammed a proposal from the Biden administration to bar blanket bans against transgender youth athletes, Ponder, the host of ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown”, “This would take away so many opportunities for biological women and girls in sports. It is a shame that we are needing to fight for the integrity of Title IX in 2023 and the reason it was needed in the first place.”, “This is heartbreaking, maddening, and really difficult to watch.
“I think there’s a lot of women who are uncomfortable about standing up for women’s rights because they don’t want to be considered politically incorrect, because it’s really crazy where this world and this conversation has gone,” Arnolt said. “It’s a very slippery slope, because when you look at, this is swimming, where we’ve seen a transgender permeate the women’s world, but there are so many sports that are far more aggressive than swimming, that are team sports. Think about soccer or basketball. [If] even an average male athlete enters that world, what’s gonna happen to women? It will become a very dangerous landscape.”Asked why she left ESPN, Arnolt said, “I’m a very opinionated person — I always have been.
“And it made me feel very uncomfortable, because I wasn’t true to myself. Then there’s a place like OutKick, where the idea of cancel culture doesn’t exist. You have someone like Clay Travis who really stands behind everyone who works at the company and says, ‘You can say whatever you want as long as you are convicted in what you’re saying and you really believe in it you have nothing to worry about.
