ESPN’s Linda Cohn was approached by TMZ Sports and asked about women in sports reporting and if they can hold their own with the men. Cohn was of course very passionate about the topic and took a shot at Michelle Beadle.
“I’ve been very outspoken I always tell young women they should aim HIGHER than being sideline reporter if they really love sports and have a passion for it.”
“And if they’re knowledgeable about it, do your homework … show us how knowledgeable you are and go out there and kick some butt.”
“But if you’re just using it as a stepping stone to be on ‘Access Hollywood’ then you’re not needed here.”
Michelle Beadle was a sideline reporter for the Nets, then worked for ESPN before becoming the co-host of Access Hollywood.
