​Crissy Froyd Calls Out USA TODAY’s ‘Double Standard’ Over Nancy Armour-Caitlin Clark Controversy After Her Firing for Dianna Russini DissOn Wednesday, the USA TODAY published a highly controversial article written by Nancy Armour that suggested Caitlin Clark’s flopping is “dangerous” because it riles up her “white nationalist” fans. That wasn’t all. There were several sections that raised eyebrows, including a reference to Emmett Till, and the sports world hasn’t stopped talking about it since.It didn’t take long for Crissy Froyd, the reporter who was fired from USA TODAY for her Dianna Russini criticism in the aftermath of the Mike Vrabel scandal, to chime in on the Armour controversy.Crissy Froyd Calls Out USA Today’s HypocrisyFroyd, like many others reacting to the article on social media, was appalled by what she was reading, calling the work “horrendous.” She couldn’t believe the article was even written, let alone published by an editor for anyone and everyone to read.“This is horrendous,” Froyd wrote. “I can’t believe they allowed this to even be said by Nancy Armour, let alone PUBLISHED.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. We know who you really are and what you’ve been up to for years. It does so much detriment to women in sports who have done things the right way.”REDRAFT THE ENTIRE NFL:PFN’s FREE NFL Ultimate Redraft SimulatorOne key difference between Froyd and Armour as it relates to USA TODAY’s handling of the controversies is that Armour is likely a full-time employee, whereas Froyd was only an independent contractor.
