No he’s not. They would go to the networks and tell them to not hire him or cover him and the networks would comply.

CB is going to have a "sit-down" with his agent, who will inform him that, if he cares to continue to work under this Regime's entertainment employment sector, he'd better get his comments in line with our Dear Rulers.

Obvious is obvious



If you’re looking to government to bring America together, you might as well be looking to the devil to get you to heaven. It’s never ever going to happen.


The whole point behind pitting America against each other is to attain and retain political power, and furthermore, there’s no more interest in bettering the condition of people as keeping them on their plantation and in their station in life keeps politicians in power, and you forever voting for them to escape your condition.


Always the dangling carrot in front of the mule pulling the cart, but if the mule ever gets the carrot, the mule stops doing its job.

It’s only wrong to bring politics into sports if you don’t agree with the message.

If Barley would have said the opposite people would bitch about stick to sports

Agreed. I’m not willing to say anyone or anything is beyond cancelling at this point. Conservatives and Conservative viewpoints are quickly being wiped from all media and social media with no warning or reason. While major corporations are not only participating in virtue signaling but threatening to remove ads (revenue) from platforms who also don’t bend the knee.

I really wish he would have told the truth and just said Democrats and left out Republicans. Or even better, said “democrats and their MSM allies”.

Exactly. Dog and pony show on tv, then they’re all buddies behind the scenes.

If federal taxes ended, none of them would want to be in politics. They do it for kickbacks and earmarks.

yeah I was thinking the same thing


Funny yall getting downvoted but you both are 100% right. frick this political bullshite during a sports game. Unless it is the repubicans verses the decomcrates playing, there is no reason to speak about it. I know a lot of yall are bitching about how everything is politicized and how we are all yearning for the good old days when this wasn't their main trick, but then when someone suggest that they just stick to talking about sports during a sports broadcast, and they get downvoted to oblivion. No wonder why the queen is yall's fearless leader! Bunch of dumb fricks.

When Chuck drew heat for talking about the fat women of San Antonio he said, "The beauty about my contract is that they are going to have to pay me. They can fire me tomorrow, but they will pay me my money until that contract is up. So, send me to the house and I will sit on my butt and only get up to go to the mailbox on the 1st and 15th, every month, twice a month until my contract is up."


Damn. This is the freedom in life that I want.

Thanks for adding the "e" for me. You can add an "f" and "u" while you're at it.

If you're going to celebrate one then don't condone another. And this is from someone who doesn't like LeBron.

It's not really the system that is guilty for the recent combativeness. It's always just kind of been crazies that everyone would point and laugh at.

But electing a divisive, combative, reality TV star into the presidency converted a ton of casuals into crazies. So yea, I think a lot more people hate each other now because of it. Even more so after a failed attempt to re-elect them, and Biden winning the presidency. A lot of people that are used to holding power cannot accept losing.
