I 'reclaimed my freedom' to speak up as a woman for female sports: Former ESPN reporter

OutKick founder Clay Travis and the latest OutKick hire Charly Arnolt discuss her past at ESPN and how she took a stance on women’s sports on ‘Hannity.’

Charly Arnolt, a former reporter at ESPN, told "Hannity" about her experience at the company and said she was not "allowed" to express her opinion on issues that have surfaced in the sports arena.

"I was at ESPN for nearly five years leading up to this point. And just in the past few years, we have noticed some serious issues taking center stage," she explained.

Arnolt expressed how she had wanted to share her opinion about several issues impacting the sports world, specifically stating her views on the involvement of transgender women competing in biological women's sports.

However, the former ESPN reporter explained that her opinions on these matters were not "necessarily welcome" with her former employer.

"There were so many opinions I wanted to share about these issues because I've always been a super opinionated person. But not only was my opinion not necessarily welcome, it wasn't allowed – the stance that I wanted to take," she said.

"You know, when you look at certain issues that very blatantly go against what ESPN stands for, its very liberal policies, such as the trans athlete issue we just talked about last month during Women's Month aired a one-minute tribute to Lia Thomas, which was very baffling for me," said Arnolt, discussing how she knew that the company had expressed a "strong stance" on not adding politics into their programming.
