Sportscaster

The Resume

    (October 16, 1986- )
    Born in Chicago, Illinois
    Fox Sports commentator
    Sideline Reporter on American Ninja Warrior (2015-18)
    Co-host on 'The Herd' with Colin Cowherd (2016-17)

Why she might be annoying:

    She resembles Tomi Lahren.
    She frequently comes off as clueless about the topics she reports on.
    She repeatedly criticized LaVar Ball's parenting on-air and then acted shocked when he took issue with it publicly.
    She got into a heated spat with Ball, who refused to look at or speak to her, during an on-air interview with Colin Cowherd about his Big Baller Brand.
    Many interpreted her saying to Ball 'are you threatening me' and 'you disrespect all women' to be racial code dog-whistling (especially the former).
    She tried to get Ball banned from Fox Sports and all other platforms after the interview aired, gaining vocal support from Jason Whitlock in the process.
    Her own show - Fair Game with Kristine Leahy - didn't make it past season one.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her favorite movie is 'Space Jam.'
    She is a huge Chicago Bulls fan, especially the Michael Jordan years.
    She earned a Bachelors in Journalism from Boston University.
    She started out as an official reporter of the Boston Celtics and WEEI Boston.
    She was hired by Colin Cowherd after he expressed the need for more female voices in sportscasting.
    She inadvertently arm-twisted the black community into vocally defending Lavar Ball.
    She reportedly received death threats after the on-air dispute.
    Ball's response to her - 'Stay in your lane' - became a popular internet meme.
