Good for her. On line sports gambling is absolutely predatory and has become all too prolific. I’m so over seeing promotions for websites in arenas, on the players kit and every commercial break

Dammmmn principles in reporting is so rare. Nice work.

Very admirable.

Good for her.

Good for her! Sports gambling should be banned NOW!

It’s a real problem. Listen to a sports talk radio station. Nothing but sports betting app spots and discussion of betting lines, picks and parlays.

It's 8-5 she has another job by the weekend.

One day in the not so distant future, if we still have at least a semi-functioning society, which is in doubt, we will look back and realize legalizing gambling online, was catastrophic.

Yep, Left mine two months ago. Couldnt stand the greed.

This is what courage looks like. Some reputable organization will hire her.

Sadly, this will probably only get worse.

College football has always been dirty and gambling made it 100X worse.

The house always wins but sometimes they let you take your neighbor's rent money.

Good for her. I find it increasingly difficult to watch sports because of the proliferation of these nauseating gambling commercials.

Good for her! ❤️

Good for her! Every time I see celebrities promoting online gambling, I lose respect for those who had once worked hard for their success but are now shilling for money to promote gambling addictions that will ruin other people's lives.

What integrity looks like

GAMBLING is addictive and the suck up to SPORTS... and its.. is only adding fire to the addiction.. fuq them all. @espn.com

It's quite remarkable how the Republican controlled Supreme Court has done everything to enable the pernicious growth of online gambling, while kneecapping federal agencies & dismantling Congress's ability to regulate industry. Federalist Society & their billionaire oligarchs won the long game.

Hero

Good on her

Finally. I am blown away by this promotion of gambling in everything now not just sports. One of my colleagues (psychologist) was sharing statistics about gambling & addiction rates & I was surprised how bad it is. We have predators everywhere in this country.

Difficult decision to walk away from a job you like and that pays really well. But…you get to sleep with a clean conscience.

An example for all of us.

I change the channel if a gambling company logo appears on screen, even if I'm watching the Bears. I watch Felontrump speeches w/ Hal Sparks Livestream, and the RSBN feeds have a Lot of kalshi ads built into the scroll & in side ads. Just another grift for MAGA.

And their parent company is the "family focused" Disney.

I have pretty much given up watching or being a fan of any sport due to the gambling bs. Its only a matter of time until it comes out how deep the corruption has taken hold

Courage. That is how you do it, right there! I hope more people follow suit.

There's a baseball game I play on the phone, it gives you free shit for watching add, about 90% of those are too

Bravo 👏

MORE OF THIS

Bravo her. I understand I'm supposed to feel "lucky" for never having a gambling impulse. It's devastating for loads of people.

Not throwing it away, getting willingly robbed by someone else. The house always takes the fattest cut.

Much respect to her. ESPN has become such a sleazeball network

Good for her! The gambling promotion is out of control. More greed taking us in the wrong direction.

I agree with her. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/10/sinc...

probably if women were in charge we'd get the women who are jerks. But it really is striking how difficult it is for a man to go against the guys when it's the right thing to do, especially in a "manly" profession I bet you, too, remember the Enron whistleblowers

Good for her. 👍

Praise and credit to her for standing on the correct side of the ledger.

We need more of this and Polymarket and Kalshi ARE GAMBLING.

She’s us more guts than the MSM combined

youtube.com/shorts/Ah0dD...

She's a better person than Lebron James!

BRAVA! What say you, LeBron?

Good for her. Another thing the sports broadcasters could do is to stop flogging misleading car insurance.

Good for her! This whole country is fcked up and gambling is a big part of too.

spot on

Profile in Courage ☝🏼

Compare her to all of the ultra rich athletes who promote online gambling - LeBron, Jeter, the Manning brothers, etc.

This seems more planned abuse of citizens to drive more money to the "Owner Class."

Badass!

ESPN covered sports. Then sports betting exploded. Then ESPN put its name on a sportsbook. A 24-year producer quit, questioning what happens when the company covering an industry gains a financial interest in it. Corporate synergy loves PowerPoint. Editorial independence prefers separate bedrooms.

I fully support her. Gambling taking over sports is one of the worst things to happen in America this century, and that's saying something.

Sad to live in a world where it's shocking to see someone with a platform live by their convictions even at personal risk and sacrifice.

Hell yeah

Wish there were more like her.

Giannis takes endorsement money from and has an ownership stake in Kalshi. LeBron takes 4x his Sixers salary in gambling money from Don Jr. and Polymarket. Sports gambling destroys lives and sports. Burn all these assholes down.

MSNOW is just as bad.

Good for her. We are spoon feeding fentanyl to addicts.

all respect to Nicole Noren....if people acted out of moral responsibility we would be in a much different place... it helps everybody everywhere every time

It seems these days that women are the ones with courage and integrity

Good for Nicole. Homeless twice as a kid because my father had a gambling addiction.

Brava! 👏

American companies- from media, to social media, to technology companies, to health care-have become increasingly predatory in an age of regulatory capture and collapse. Government has been bought and corporations feel few restraints in maximizing profits, whatever the cost to the rest of us.

I’ve been waiting for this to come to the forefront. Good for her.

Not many people left with that many morals. She should run for office in 2028!

Our gilded age.

Damn someone with Dignity at that company? That's rare

Much respect to her for that very courageous move.

I don’t watch sports, and tend to watch mostly history and female-coded movies. There are so many gambling ads.

Good for her but unfortunately she will have to leave sports journalism do avoided working for a company that is in bed with online betting

substack.com/@xennialfarm...

Nice to see some people still have principles

I know Nicole. BRAVA BELLA.

Never heard of her but I am instantly a big fan. Good for her!!

We ought to give goddamned LeBron James, Phil Mickelson, and Michael Jordan the Pete Rose treatment.

Here on the UK we have football teams, former sportsmen and sports commentators fronting Gambling Advertisements as if the suicides it results in has nothing to do with them. Just like SMOKING KILLS so does GAMBLING

Brava! Good to see someone with ethics

Wow, a person with morals

they don't usually make the news

there will always be someone who steps up

Good for her. It’s prolific on ESPN. No shame

✊ solidarity with people of conscience and conviction

Well done to her! It’s going to take a lot of people with principles to stop this devaluation of society.

Exactly, like prediction markets, they exist b/c they work. Successfully separating rubes from their money via false promise of beating a system which almost none do. EVERY star or sport icon advertising these rackets are selling their own fans/admirers into their demise. Shameful.

It has gotten out of hand.

Within 5 years? There were at least two NFL games that ended with "inexplicable" collapses or "baffling" clock management errors just last week. Seems like "blatant" might already be on the table.

It’s called integrity

Gambling is a plague in professional sports

Yay. That’s one, at least. It takes one to start a movement (I hope),

Based

It's gross
