ESPN doesn't like anyone saying anything against Obama

Just like when they changed MNF theme song, because of Hank Williams Jr's comments..

Ditka the player was very good.

Ditka the coach was poor and overrated.

Dikta the analyst was consistently terrible.

Ditka the man is a piece of shite. A lying, drunken, blowhard coward.

Conservatives have such a media persecution complex.

ESPN is still hemorraging money so they still need to trim the fat. Ditka likely had a huge contract.

On top of that, he was a pathetic and terrible "analyst".

This is just a coincidence? There was already a precedent set by ESPN.

When the Peyton Manning HGH stuff was swirling, he came out and just blasted Al Jazeera, and you could just tell he had no clue whatsoever what Al Jazeera was. It was pretty good viewing.

His go to line for analysis was "stupid is as stupid does." They can upgrade him.

Why do you think it's Obama-specific?

Anyone openly disrespecting the office of the President on a network like ESPN is going to get axed. Obama has nothing to do with it other than the fact that he's the President.

An analyst's personal political opinion has no place on ESPN. Take that shite to Foxnews or MSNBC. We should have at least one refuge from the shiteshow that is modern day politics.

Ditka's been blasting Obama for years. Matter of fact, the senile old shite said if he had run for the U.S. Senate against Obama in 2004, he would have beaten him.

I'm glad they canned his arse. Seeing him used to piss me off, because of the shitty job he did with the Saints.

Yeah because ESPN never politicizes anything...Stephen A., Jemele Hill, Danny Libtard, etc. all say hello.

so not only are you a blight upon teams when you pick them to win, you also cause people to be fired if you think they should get a raise.

When you deride the POTUS on ESPN, you're going to be reprimanded, as you should.

I can understand if people don't respect Obama but there should be respect for the office of the President. That means you can have your opinions but you cannot use ESPN as a vehicle for those opinions.
