Dan Orlovsky Says His Tweets 'Represent' ESPN After Deleting ‘Protect Our Daughters’ Post

Earlier this month, ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky posted "protect our daughters" to his X account after Imane Khelif, who failed a genetic test and is said to have XY chromosomes, beat yet another woman in the 2024 Olympics.

Orlovsky quickly deleted the post.

In a conversation with Barrett Media, Orlovsky said his social media accounts "represent" his employer.

"When you’re an employee of a big company, your social media page doesn’t just get to be your social media page," Orlovsky said. "That’s a fantasy, so you have to represent yourself and the company that you work for in the proper way."

Well, sure.

However, Orlovsky's colleagues have posted far more egregious comments to their accounts. And those were allowed.

Shall we name a few?

Mark Jones works with Orlovsky. Some of Jones' most notable tweets include calling MAGA women "skanks," Gov. Ron DeSantis a member of the KKK, Stephen A. Smith a "coon," and Abraham Lincoln a "racist."

Unlike Orlovsky, Jones did not have to take down his posts. Does Jones not represent ESPN? 

Mina Kimes, Orlovsky's co-analyst on "NFL Live," used her social media account to encourage voters to support Democrat Karen Bass for mayor of Los Angeles. Do Kimes's posts represent ESPN? 

ESPN contributor J. A. Adande called red-state voting laws worse than genocide in China. OutKick asked ESPN if Adande's opinion represents the views of the company. The network did not respond.

Last year, Kendrick Perkins went on an unhinged Twitter rant calling white people "privileged" and accusing his employer of punishing him for having strong opinions as a black man. ESPN did not provide comment on Perkins' rant, either.

But it's Orlovsky's post where ESPN draws the line – a post about standing up for girls
