On Thursday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” former Fox News host Megyn Kelly launched a scathing attack on USA Today sports columnist Nancy Armour, calling her a “national disgrace.” The outburst came in response to Armour’s recent column, which criticized Kelly for her comments about women’s sports.
Kelly’s Initial Remarks
Kelly began her rant by accusing Armour of being “obsessed with me” and “writing about me every chance she gets.” She then took issue with Armour’s claim that Kelly’s comments were “disparaging” to women in sports.
“I am a woman in sports,” Kelly proclaimed. “I have been a sportscaster for over 20 years. I have covered the Olympics, the World Series, and the Super Bowl. I know what I’m talking about.”
Armour’s Response
Armour responded to Kelly’s attack on Twitter, writing: “I’m not obsessed with Megyn Kelly. I’m obsessed with holding powerful people accountable for their words and actions.” She also pointed out that Kelly’s comments about women’s sports were “tone-deaf” and “out of touch.”
Industry Reaction
The incident has sparked a heated debate within the sports media industry. Some journalists have come to Armour’s defense, while others have sided with Kelly. The controversy has also reignited discussions about the role of women in sports and the media’s responsibility to promote equality.
Potential Outcomes
It remains to be seen what the long-term consequences of this controversy will be. However, it is likely to continue to generate discussion about the treatment of women in sports and the media’s role in shaping societal norms.
