Caption: Ex-ESPN’s David Pollack Says Firing Gave Him Freedom to Share Honest Opinions. Former ESPN analyst David Pollack shared that he’s happier since leaving the network over a year ago. Speaking on Jason Whitlock's Fearless podcast, Pollack explained that his departure allowed him to express his opinions more freely, something he felt was limited during his time at ESPN. Pollack noted that while he wasn’t directly told what he could or couldn’t say, it was understood that his public opinions also represented the network. He admitted that he often held back to avoid losing his job, which he now views as a mistake. Using the debate around transgender athletes in women’s sports as an example, Pollack said he wouldn't have been able to speak his mind on such issues while at ESPN. Now, he enjoys the freedom to discuss any topic honestly and without fear of repercussions. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
