i peaced the frick out of the mainstream liberal-Democratic plantation when they started going after speech

that shite was a sacred point of liberalism when i was growing up, esp in college. all the liberal ideals i was told about discovery and education and experience goes out the window when you start silencing people.

ESPN is virtually unwatchable outside of certain football games. It's non stop pop references and political pandering. It's like watching Captain Kangaroo for millenials.

Jamele Hill is a partisan left-wing retard, so his statement is exactly what I would expect of him.

Freudian slip, but the rest of my statement I stand by.

I would guess conservatives watch sports more than liberals so it's pretty dumb for ESPN to get political

do you fear right and wrong?
For a group that generally purports to be 'fair', liberals show few signs of humility and this is just another example: the realm of what is right or what is wrong is held forth by their fiat.

And to see college administrators get behind the safe space nonsense has been disheartening. I've seen recently a few administrators defend speech and that's it's ok the be offended so that's been nice, but it was getting bad there for a minute.

I thought sports was supposed to be a void from the real world (including politics)? So now Disney (ESPN) wants to push politics? Great...

Yup, the problem is that there is any political opinion given at all. I don't want to hear shite either way when watching sports.

ESPN has two major demos: poor and middle class white people (mostly conservatives) and poor and middle class black people (mostly liberal). They have been catering exclusively to the latter while giving a middle finger to the former for years now.

I noticed a few years back ESPN was trying WAY too hard to be PC by hiring every type of minority anchor they could find male and female. I may sound sexist but nobody wants to hear women calling football games

That's part of the re-education effort to browbeat white people into accepting their inferiority.

I can't even listen to their morning and afternoon radio shows anymore. SJWs and cucks everywhere.

The reason I quit watching is because of their determination to force women's sports down my throat, their constant pleading for gays to come out of the closet in the sports world, the pushing of soccer, and the whole Bruce Jenner thing.

I only tune in when LSU is on. I used to watch it all the time but now I can't stand it.
