Alyssa Lang fired back at a body-shaming comment on X, replying, “Those are actually called abs, in case you haven’t seen your own recently.”
The exchange came just after Lang emerged from ESPN’s latest roster cuts, with the report framing her as thriving during SEC Media Days despite a bruising week at the network.
The troll had suggested Lang needed to “lose” offseason weight to keep her job, turning the post into a flashpoint over online harassment of female sports personalities.
The episode landed amid a wider sports-media uproar in the same column, which also highlighted backlash around women’s athletics commentary and other ESPN-related controversies.
