People trying to turn this into Erin being ungrateful are purposely missing the point. I covered college football + basketball for 6 years, missed Christmas and Thanksgiving religiously between bowl games, holiday tournaments, etc. When I was briefly a sideline reporter, same thing. As well as when I was first getting TV reps at ESPN. I volunteered to work every holiday. Hell, me and my momma spent Thanksgiving in Bristol because I was filling in on First Take.
Erin was speaking to realities of the business and I didnโt take it as her asking anyone to feel bad for her. A lot of younger reporters say they want to do what she does, but are you willing to do what she did? No, she isnโt digging ditches, but the negativity these comments created was unwarranted.
