ESPN gave her celebrity, attention and a platform. It's why you have likely have 40 followers and she has 750k. It's called logic, look into it.
She covered sports and the olympics for multiple outlets before ESPN. And it's funny how ESPN is only afraid to piss off its advertisers on this subject. They have no problem with ripping boxing and the NCAA for corruption, blasting Nike and Adidas for the role they played in the biggest scandal in college sports for the last few weeks. She wasn't talking about some random Fortune 500 CEO, she was discussing the remarks of the owner of the most valuable franchise in the most popular sport ON HER PERSONAL TWITTER.
