Former ESPN host Charly Arnolt announced she is excited to be able to “speak freely” after leaving ESPN for the conservative digital media company OutKick.
“It feels like I was a little bit stifled in the past,” Arnolt, 35, said in an interview published in a Monday report. “People are too scared to speak up for the fear of being called politically incorrect. The idea of cancel culture, it doesn’t exist here. I speak freely.”

“I have a lot of opinions that I haven’t been able to express, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Arnolt was at ESPN for five years, with the last two spent under a full-time contract, before joining OutKick, a media company covering politics, sports, and news, the report noted.
She “will be one of the hosts of our new Outkick morning show debuting this summer,” OutKick founder Clay Travis tweeted.
“She’s leaving @espn so she can actually say what she thinks. Awesome addition.”
Arnolt hosted myriad shows throughout her time at ESPN, including work with the WWE, First Take, and the UFC, but she said he had difficulty covering “ultra important issues as they affect not just sports but our society and culture in general,” she said.
“There are a lot of issues people refuse to remain unbiased about because of the network they’re on,” according to Arnolt.

“I’m not going to put a stamp on my political beliefs. I think a lot of what OutKick does best is they approach everything from a common sense standpoint and that is where I stand,” she continued. “There are a lot of issues if you use a little common sense, you can find the answer the right way.”
At OutKick, Arnolt will host a morning show covering pop culture, sports, and politics, where she will “discuss trending topics and to provide her authentic takes on the most pressing stories in sports,” according to OutKick.
