But in Nolan, the network had a comedic tour de force, a driven and talented creative genius with a proven track record of executing unique material. Kenny Mayne, Michelle Beadle, and Dan Le Batard come to mind.

I’ve thought about sending this tweet for weeks and I still have no clue how to make it not make you all roll your eyes. But instead it offered a vague description of her new role as a “prominent digital presence while also making appearances across ESPN studio programming.” A weekly special edition of SportsCenter or another known ratings earner. You would think a behemoth like ESPN would have a concrete plan for Nolan, especially given that her contract was reportedly worth more than $1m a year. Fox knew they had a special talent but instead of finding Nolan a new role they let her sit under contract for seven months before ESPN evidently swooped in.

When ESPN hired Nolan in late 2017, it was a no brainer. Nolan’s “secret society of women in sports media” also made me, a woman in sports media, want to punch a wall and left me feeling empowered to rebel against systemic misogyny. O nly Katie Nolan could take an unpleasant topic like the trolling of female sports journalists and turn it into a hilarious skit that makes your lungs ache from laughter.
