She spoke out about the questionable boxer in the Olympics & supported Trump after the assassination attempt in PA.

Michele Tafoya publicly questioned ESPN’s explanation - particularly Sam’s view on trans athletes. Also commented the ratings for Sam’s show, NFL Countdown, were coming off one of its best ratings’ years.
