Fox Sports 1 host Joy Taylor stirred controversy on Thursday during an episode of Speak by taking a swipe at President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration.

While discussing the Kansas City Chiefs’ potential Super Bowl dynasty, Taylor remarked that Americans have “a couple more days” of freedom left, referencing Trump’s inauguration on January 20.

The comment came during a panel debate on whether the Chiefs, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, could rival the dynasty of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Co-host Keyshawn Johnson suggested that Kansas City’s success already merits comparisons to the Patriots, even before securing another Super Bowl win.

Taylor dismissed Johnson’s claim while taking the opportunity to criticize the political landscape. “I mean, you can talk nonsense if you want to,” Taylor said. “It’s a free country — for a couple more days.”

Taylor’s remarks add to the growing scrutiny facing Fox Sports.

She is currently named as a defendant in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by former network hairstylist Noushin Faraji.

The lawsuit alleges that Taylor failed to support Faraji after she reported an incident involving Undisputed host Skip Bayless.

In the suit, Faraji claims Bayless offered her $1.5 million for sexual favors. Faraji alleges that when she brought the issue to Taylor’s attention, Taylor ignored her concerns.

Additionally, the lawsuit accuses Taylor of engaging in inappropriate behavior herself, claiming she had a relationship with Charlie Dixon, Fox Sports’ Executive Vice President of Content, to advance her career.

Fox Sports has not publicly commented on the allegations in the lawsuit.

Joy Taylor, who serves as a prominent voice on Speak and other Fox Sports programming, is known for her candid takes on both sports and societal issues.

However, her criticism of the incoming Trump administration has drawn backlash from conservative viewers, with many calling her comments inappropriate for a sports broadcast.

The incident highlights the ongoing tensions between public figures and political discourse in media, particularly as the country prepares for a new administration.

The lawsuit involving Taylor and other Fox Sports figures underscores broader challenges for the network.

Faraji’s claims raise questions about workplace culture and the handling of employee concerns. If substantiated, the allegations could lead to further legal and reputational fallout for the network.

While Taylor’s remarks on the Trump administration may have been off-the-cuff, they have sparked renewed attention to both her public persona and the broader issues facing Fox Sports as an organization.

As Taylor continues to anchor key sports discussions, the network will likely face growing scrutiny regarding its handling of internal controversies and its approach to balancing entertainment and personal expression on air.
