Crissy Froyd Speaks Out After Being Fired From ‘USA Today’ After Trashing Dianna Russini Over Mike Vrabel Scandal

Crissy Froyd, NFL Reporter for USA Today, was fired last month after comments about Dianna Russini and her recent scandal with New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel.

Froyd trashed Russini on her X account, calling her a “detriment to women in sports” after Russini posted her resignation from The Athletic. Two days later, USA Today announced the firing of Froyd.

“USA TODAY Sports has ended its contractor relationship with Crissy Froyd effective immediately. Her recent statements do not reflect our commitment to professionalism or uphold our principles of ethical conduct,” the company announced via an X post.

Froyd said that she stands by her statements despite being fired from her job.

“I regret zero of what I said and stand beside it. If you want to talk, my messages are open. My email is operative, too. I feel I’ve been very transparent and did nothing wrong.”

Froyd’s comments about Russini surprised many.

“I’m sure you were told to submit this or that you’d get fired instead,” Froyd posted in response to Russini’s resignation. “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,” Froyd alleged. “It does so much detriment to women in sports who have done things the right way.”

Vrabel and Russini both deny any accusations against them, with Vrabel saying, “These photos show a completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable.”

The Athletic is currently in the middle of its investigation into this scandal.
