ESPN fired Samantha Ponder reportedly due to financial reasons and a broader cost-cutting effort as the network neared the conclusion of its fiscal year in September.
This is according to sources close to The New York Times’ The Athletic. The sources briefed the outlet about both Ponder and Robert Griffin III’s firing. The source claimed that Ponder and Griffin made more than seven figures annually.
At the time of her firing, Ponder was only entering the final season of her three-year contract with ESPN. This contract was worth more than $3 million. She has yet to address her firing or the reasons behind it publicly.
However, Michelle Tafoya, a longtime sideline reporter for ESPN, shared her belief in a Fox News interview that Ponder’s firing had nothing to do with the widely reported “financial reasons” or “budget cuts.” “I think that they clearly wanted to find an off-ramp for Sam,” she opined. Tafoya also expressed her surprise and shock that Ponder’s firing took place only three weeks before the NFL season’s commencement.
