Longtime NFL sideline reporter Michele Tafoya is trending for all the wrong reasons on Thursday.

Recently, she announced that she was walking away from her gig after many years. The initial rumor was that her public criticism of Colin Kaepernick played a role in her abruptly leaving NBC.

Even though that report seems to have been squashed, Michele Tafoya spoke out on how she feels more enabled to speak her mind on political happenings now that she’s not tied down by a network.

Immediately, people on social media were trashing Michele Tafoya over her latest take.

She’s already getting off to a hot start…
