Michele Tafoya is leaving sports stadiums for the political arena.

The NBC Sports sideline reporter completed her final assignment at Super Bowl 2022 on Sunday in Inglewood, Calif., and is revealing her plans for what's next.

"I got to a point in my life where I wanted to try other things, and there are some things that are really important to me," Tafoya told The Athletic. "This is not to say that sports isn't an important field, that my job isn't an important job. But in my position, I was not as free to be as vocal about world events that I'm concerned about.
