Former ESPN personality Sage Steele criticized the women of "The View" when she was a guest on Bill Maher's "Club Random" podcast.
In a broad conversation that extended beyond Steele's primary expertise in sports to topics such as politics and cultural debates, Maher suggested she could offer a differing perspective on the liberal ABC daytime program.
"You should be on ‘The View,’" Maher commented during the Sunday podcast.
"Hell no!" Steele reacted. "I've been on ‘The View’ and it didn't go so well because you know what? At ‘The View,’ they don't want your view. They only want theirs. And they're bulls---."
"Exactly," Maher confirmed. "And the problem is they've never had anybody who's smart enough to actually say it the way you're saying it."
"I disagree with that," Steele ciybtered,
"When you're four-on-one… and I've experienced it. I've felt it," Steele continued. "And they were nice to me, relatively speaking. Whoopi was very nice to me. Jenny McCarthy- this was Whoopi, Jenny McCarthy, Sherri Shepherd and Barbara Walters. And they were great to me. Barbara, whatever. The other three were great. And what I know for a fact, I did it four times, and then they had me audition when they were making changes again, they 100% are full of it. They don't want to hear your view if you think differently than they do. And they are fine telling lies on that stage and that set. And because they know that if someone calls them on it, then they're just gonna talk over them and have the audience clap and go to break. So the show to me is despicable, and it makes me sad because the potential for 20-some years, I respect that, the length they've done it, but the potential is incredible, and they ruined it."
"But I think you can handle it," Maher circled back.
Steele gently pointed out that she previously worked "under the umbrella" of Disney, the parent company of both ESPN and ABC. She left the corporation after an extensive legal dispute.
"They easily could have called me, especially the last several years when these conversations have to take place. They won't call me- why? Because they know. They know that I'm not afraid. They don't want that. So, no, thank you," she elaborated.
The past "SportsCenter" anchor revealed she had "successfully settled" her legal case against ESPN. She had alleged the channel infringed on her freedom of speech, particularly when she voiced opinions on the company's vaccine mandate and on former President Obama's racial background.
