Like many American corporations, ESPN (1.83) is all in on COVID-19 vaccine mandates even though their safety and efficacy are questionable. The company even went so far as to force out reporter Allison Williams for not wanting a vaccine due to fertility concerns.

This woke move is no surprise. ESPN and its parent company Walt Disney Company (1.67) have flirted with focusing on sports in recent years, but last year went all-in on the “America is racist” narrative by signing a deal with Colin Kaepernick to provide his anti-America, historically inaccurate, and often Communist views to millions of people.

But ESPN’s loss is the conservative movement’s opportunity. The Wall Street Journal (2.67) reports that The Daily Wire has scooped Williams up to lead a sports reporting team:

Former ESPN reporter Allison Williams, who recently left the network after refusing to follow its Covid-19 vaccine mandate, has joined conservative site the Daily Wire.

Ms. Williams will host a sports series available to Daily Wire subscribers, according to the media company. A promotional pop-up on the Daily Wire’s website advertises Ms. Williams’s series as “sports without the woke.” The advertisement says she “did not comply,” in a typeface similar to the one used in ESPN’s logo.

“It’s a great opportunity for me to explore issues that may be too taboo for other media outlets,” Ms. Williams said in an interview Monday.

She said the Daily Wire reached out to her shortly after learning of her departure from ESPN. The details regarding her role and project are still being worked out, she said. She declined to discuss contract details.

If there’s one thing the conservative movement has often lacked, it’s influence in the press beyond Fox News (2.64) and a few commentators and columnists in mainstream news outlets. The Daily Wire is one of many entrepreneurial conservative media outlets that is changing this equation. Williams is the latest addition to The Daily Wire; former Mandalorian star Gina Carano is starring in a Daily Wire movie that is set to launch in Spring 2022.

We applaud Williams and The Daily Wire for going beyond politics to provide sports without the woke, to quote a Daily Wire ad announcing Williams’ new role. They are filling a niche that is sorely needed, and we urge you to watch Williams instead of ESPN for your sports analysis.
