ESPN Anchor Blasted for Comments Against Protest

ESPN anchor Sage Steele is being criticized after she took to Instagram to complain about a protest against Donald Trump’s recent travel ban and how it inconvenienced her flight plans.

So THIS is why thousands of us dragged luggage nearly 2 miles to get to LAX, but still missed our flights. Fortunately, a 7 hour wait for the next flight to Houston won't affect me that much, but my heart sank for the elderly and parents with small children who did their best to walk all that way but had no chance of making their flights. I love witnessing people exercise their right to protest! But it saddened me to see the joy on their faces knowing that they were successful in disrupting so many people's travel plans. Yes, immigrants were affected by this as well. Brilliant. 🇺🇸

Sage reportedly attempted to assuage the situation, but Twitter users continued to call her out.

I guess that WWII 1942 bataan death march doesn't compare to Sage Steele march through the airport. pic.twitter.com/67BHO6tJtc

Sage Steele would have told Dr. Martin Luther King that she wasnt able to catch a cab because his March in Selma disrupted cab service
