Fox Sports football reporter who quit ESPN over Disney's Covid vaccine mandate gets huge NFL promotion

Allison Williams has landed herself a new role as an NFL sideline reporter at Fox Sports, as she prepares to replace one of their long-standing presenters. Williams will be looking to make further strides at the network which she joined in 2022, after her unceremonious exit from rival broadcasters ESPN a year prior. In 2021, Williams left ESPN after they refused to accommodate her decision not to get the COVID-19 vaccine because she was trying to get pregnant. The Walt Disney Company, which owns ESPN, mandated that all cast members need to be vaccinated against COVID-19 - however Williams was trying for a child and announced that she would not be getting it. She eventually left the network - where she worked on the sidelines at college football and basketball games - and swiftly joined Fox Sports. Since then, she has worked as a college football sideline reporter and studio host for Fox however, she is now set to make another step forward in her career. According to Front Office Sports, Williams will take on the role of NFL sideline reporter on one of the network's announce teams this season and replace the departing Laura Okmin. Okmin will bid farewell to the network after turning down a contract extension. She is the third-longest-tenured sideline reporter in NFL history. Okmin explained that it feels like the right time to walk away from her current role and focus on her company, GALvanize, which mentors young women in the sports world. Williams, meanwhile, looks to have settled at Fox Sports after her exit from ESPN four years ago. She was initially barred from working on the sidelines of college football games this season because she refused to comply with the network's vaccine mandate while she and her husband try for their second child. In an Instagram video shared at the time, a visibly emotional Williams said that her 'request for accommodation' had been denied, about a month after announcing she would be sitting the season out because she hadn't yet received the vaccination. 'Ultimately, I can not put a paycheck over principal and I will not sacrifice something I believe in strongly to maintain a career,' Williams said near-tears in the video. Shortly after that, she confirmed that she would be 'separating' from ESPN. 'Belief is a word I've been thinking about a lot lately, because in addition to the medical apprehensions regarding my desire to have another child in regards to receiving this injection, I am also so morally and ethically not aligned with this,' Williams said. 'And I've had to really dig deep and analyze my values and my morals, and ultimately I need to put them first.' 'And the irony in all this is that a lot of those same values and principals I hold so dear are what made me a really good employee and probably helped with the success that I've been able to have in my career.' Williams, who had been with the network since 2011, said she was having trouble coming to terms with the fact that the national championship game she covered in January, 2021, may now be the last college football game she will work.

Celtic hero left ‘starstruck' after meeting golf legend at Turnberry

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT's not every day that Celtic legend Frank McAvennie is left starstruck after meeting a fellow sporting icon. But the former Celtic, West Ham and Scotland striker couldn't believe his eyes when he realised he was standing next to one of the all-time golfing greats at Turnberry this week. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Frank McAvennie wit Gary Player at Trump Turnberry McAvennie, 65, shared a picture on social media after he caught up with three-time Masters winner Gary Player on the famous course in Ayrshire. Earlier this year the retired footballer caused a stir on social media when he was pictured with Kylie Minogue during a golf day at Marr Hall. This time he had his fans in awe with his snap with the South African legend who is regarded as one of the best player to have ever lived. Player won 165 professional tournaments over seven decades after turning professional in 1953 at the age of 17. He is only one of six golfers to achieve a career gland slam by winning four majors. Now aged 89, Player enjoyed plenty of success in Scotland as he won two of his three Open Championship titles there. He won the Open Championship at Muirfield in 1959 and at Carnoustie in 1968. Sharing the snap with the golf legend on Instagram, McAvennie wrote: "One of the true legends of golf, Gary Player, down Trump Turnberry Scotland just before teeing off. "Don't get starstruck often, but this guy is a different level and a proper gentleman." Reacting to the post, one fan wrote: "Great photo Macca." Another said: "Brilliant photo Macca." A third commented: "Even heroes have heroes." Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Jannik Sinner v Carlos Alcaraz rivalry ‘great for tennis'

Jannik Sinner claimed his first Wimbledon title by defeating Carlos Alcaraz 4-6 6-4 6-4 6-4 on Centre Court, avenging his French Open final loss. Sinner's victory ended Alcaraz's 24-match winning streak and prevented him from securing a third consecutive Wimbledon title. Darren Cahill, Sinner's coach, believes the rivalry between Sinner and Alcaraz is already outstanding and has the potential to become even greater. The two players have shared the last seven Grand Slam trophies, with Sinner now holding four major titles to Alcaraz's five. Both Sinner and Alcaraz closely monitor each other's game, driving their respective teams to ensure continuous improvement, while other young talents are also emerging in men's tennis.
