Longtime sports journalist M.A. Voepel shared on Twitter Tuesday that he’s transgender and that his pronouns are he/him.
“Please feel free to call me Voepel, MV, Michael, Mike; I’m good with them all,” he wrote in a four-part Twitter thread.
Voepel, who joined ESPN.com over 25 years ago, said that he decided to share his true self with the world now because he’s receiving the prestigious Gowdy Award next month, and wanted to do that as his “authentic self.”
