The Dianna Russini<\/a> and Mike Vrabel<\/a> sports scandal has claimed another victim … NFL reporter Crissy Froyd, TMZ has learned.<\/p>\n

Crissy tells us she was sacked on Thursday from USA Today … just days after she blasted Dianna’s resignation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Crissy tells TMZ she’s “beyond distraught” … especially because Nancy Armour did a story for the network expressing a similar sentiment about Dianna without punishment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Crissy said … “I struggle to understand the positioning here after that was published, but that apparently I as an independent contractor cannot make my own statements on my own social media accounts.”<\/p>\n

She insisted her post doesn’t stem from any sort of “vendetta” against Dianna … and wasn’t “actively waiting for the perfect moment” to call her out. Instead — once Dianna posted her resignation — Crissy felt she “could finally say something without being the only one.”<\/p>\n

The journalist tells us she was let go via email after a decade with the publication.<\/p>\n

The outlet confirmed in a social media statement that they’ve ended Crissy’s contract “effective immediately” and she got cut for her comments, writing … “Her recent statements do not reflect our commitment to professionalism or uphold our principles of ethical conduct.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Dianna shared her resignation letter to The Athletic … which she submitted after she was caught canoodling with Patriots head coach<\/a> Mike Vrabel.<\/p>\n

Here’s where Crissy comes in … she replied to the post, speculating that Dianna would’ve gotten the axe if she hadn’t resigned.<\/p>\n

She accused Dianna of setting back women in the sports journalism field, writing … “Don\u2019t let the door hit you on the way out. We know who you really are and what you\u2019ve been up to for years.”<\/p>\n

Crissy added to TMZ … “I am looking forward to what is next and I do walk away with my head held high. Have I become a martyr? We will see. But I hold zero regret and am beyond proud of my accomplishments.”<\/p>\n

Well … now it looks like Crissy’s out of a job, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel sports scandal has claimed another victim … NFL reporter Crissy Froyd, TMZ…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":868188,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,88,6,9,266,4429],"class_list":{"0":"post-868187","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-sports-news","13":"tag-tmz-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116418752812881209","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/868187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=868187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/868187\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/868188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=868187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=868187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=868187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
