ESPN has been know to be fairly liberal as a network in the past. They are in a dilemma because sports being allowed to continue is their livelihood. The personalities are starting to change their tune. The tide is starting to turn. They are now begging for these leagues to start back up. I think these progressive whack jobs are going to piss of the moderate liberals so much that it’ll be their demise.

The media would lead you to believe otherwise, but moderates on both sides is a huge voting block.

Who owns ESPN...and who has closed parks that are costing 40-100 million dollars a day in losses? Blue states are tanking to get a bailout...Disney wont get a bailout

The talking heads are fine as long as they keep getting a paycheck. Stop that and then they will change their tune. The media is disconnected from reality and the average American.

I guess that’s my point. This charade starts to go away when it hits their pocket book.

They are starting to see their buddies laid off and some are being asked to take pretty big pay cuts... Of course they are concerned and changing their tune but it is not changing their liberal leanings one bit...

Oh and frick ESPN...

Wait until big money starts to threaten these politicians it could get ugly. I think that some of these big businesses are starting to see you can't be in bed with this Party anymore, because they have lost all sense of logic.

Funny how nobody cares until their livelihoods are threatened.

Aren’t we around the period where they are about to be in a dead zone where the only thing of consequences is MLB?

I think they know that trying to do shite like “Who’s Now?” for months will kill them dead between low ratings and cable companies looking to jettison them due to high carriage costs.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Joseph Lieberman was kicked out of the Democrat Party about a d3cade ago.

Not really sure who guys like him areaffiliated with these days. Doubt Lieberman would even want to be in the same party with 5he likes of Ilhan Omar, Rashid Tlaib, and everybody's favorite mental midget, AOC.

Was just going to post this.

It also puts a timeline on this idiocy. Cali locking down until July-August when fall practice is in full swing.
