ESPN's Sage Steele is reportedly pulled from air, apologizes for criticizing Disney's vaccine mandate

ESPN host Sage Steele has issued a public apology for criticizing Disney's vaccine mandate on a podcast after reportedly being removed from the air Tuesday.

Last week, Steele told former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler on his podcast, "Uncut With Jay Cutler," that she didn't want to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and only did so because of the company's "sick" and "scary" mandate.

"I work for a company that mandates it and I had until Sept. 30 to get it done or I'm out," Steele told Cutler. "I respect everyone's decision, I really do, but to mandate it is sick and it's scary to me in many ways."
