Understandably, she came under a lot of fire for having said something as petty as that. The public immediately disregarded her post as something childish, drawing a comparison between the detainees that were help up for at least twenty hours at airports and Steele herself complaining about being stuck for a mere seven hours.
The public weren’t the only ones to unleash their wrath on Steele, though. Her fellow ESPN employee, Dan Le Batard, spoke about Steele’s said Instagram post, and said that he failed to understand how her travel plans were affected.
This wasn’t the first time Sage was under fire for her actions. She is known for her ridiculous opinions on the controversial topic ‘All Lives Matter’. Recently, she expressed her distaste in the action of Mike Evans, a player from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he kneeled during the national anthem. She was bashed for holding the opinion that kneeling during the national anthem equals to disrespecting the military.
Steele’s struggle with self-identity
Steele has opened up about the hateful comments that she receives many times. She said it was tough growing up as a bi-racial girl, and she even had trouble figuring her identity out as a teen. She even gets criticized for having married a man who doesn’t belong to her own race. What made it worse for Sage was an incident where someone thought she was the nanny of her own kids. She was assumed to be so because her children do not look like they belong to her racial background.
Steele: An idol to many
Sage is 45 years old and yet she has appearance of those in their 20s. She is extremely beautiful and envied by many. She has an impressive height of 5 feet and 10 inches and looks very attractive. Her biggest advantage is that she looks great despite her age. She is very dedicated to her profession and this has turned her into a famous television celebrity in America.
None of the gossips or rumors has affected her personal life in any way. Nor has it affected her professional life. What draws everyone to her like a flame to a moth is her powerful and enigmatic aura. She enjoys both sides of her life equally and it does not look likely that she would divorce her husband.
