Why did Katie Nolan quit ESPN? Fans claim sports analyst was 'wasted as a talent'
Sports analyst and host Katie Nolan has quit ESPN. She announced the news on her Twitter handle Wednesday, September 29. Following the announcement of her exit, fans swarmed social media, calling out ESPN for 'having no idea what to do with talent'.
"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. Alas: the obvious thing has happened. I no longer work at ESPN. I’m really grateful for my time here. I made incredible friendships and valuable mistakes, " Katie Nolan said in her statement. She further added, "This year of slowing down has affected me on a cellular level. If you listen to the podcast this isn’t news to you. What’s next for me is to figure out how/where/when this new me can use the skills the old me acquired to make the stuff I think needs making. And maybe a vacation?" Nolan is not the only to quit the network this year, in May, ESPN host Kenny Mayne quit the network after 27 years with a 'mic drop' moment.
