while trying for second child

ESPN's Allison Williams will be absent from the network's college football coverage this fall.

Williams has been with ESPN since March 2011 and does sideline reporting for the network's college football and college basketball coverage. She didn't cover a game in Week 1 of the college football season and said Thursday that she wouldn't be a part of any game coverage in 2021 because she hasn't received the COVID-19 vaccine as she and her husband attempt to have a second child.

"While my work is incredibly important to me, the most important role I have is as a mother. Throughout our family planning with our doctor, as well as a fertility specialist, I have decided not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at this time while my husband and I try for a second child. This was a deeply difficult decision to make and it's not something I take lightly. I understand vaccines have been essential in the effort to end this pandemic, however taking the vaccine at this time is not in my best interest. After a lot of prayer and deliberation, I have decided I must put my family and personal health first. I will miss being on the sidelines and am thankful for the support of my ESPN family. I look forward to when I can return to the games and job that I love."

While Williams wasn't on the sideline in Week 1, she continued to host her podcast with fellow ESPN reporters Molly McGrath and Kris Budden. Williams had been working games with ESPN's Bob Wischusen and Dan Orlovsky in 2020.

Not sure how the vaccine affects one's ability to get pregnant.

1. She's not putting her health first by refusing to get vaccinated.

Doctors have started strongly recommending pregnant women get vaccinated so that's definitely the case if she is not currently pregnant.

2. Ditto this

3. She's going to be "Wally Pipped," you know ...

I'mguessing that her sideline reporting career is likely over.
