ESPN ripped when anti-Trump broadcaster Keith Olbermann calls Mets-Yankees game

ESPN put Keith Olbermann in the broadcast booth for Monday night’s nationally televised Subway Series game between the Yankees and Mets and the anti-Trump personality wasn’t exactly appreciated by baseball fans on social media.
Olbermann doesn’t typically call baseball games on television, but he replaced Karl Ravech for Monday’s game – which was a makeup for a July 22 rainout between the New York City rivals. The game was not available on the Yankees and Mets local networks and aired exclusively on ESPN.
It’s unclear if fans disapproved of Olbermann for his far-left political views or if they simply didn’t care for his broadcasting style, but his name quickly began trending and the results weren’t pretty.
New York Daily News columnist Bob Raissman wrote, “ESPN finds a way to punish Mets/Yankees fans by putting Olbermann in the TV booth tonight.”
One user added, “I think it's safe to say this experiment of Keith Olbermann calling MLB games has become a disaster.” New York Post media columnist Andrew Marchand sent a series of tweets bashing the decision to put Olbermann in the booth.
“Olbermann sounds like a guy who hasn't done a lot of play-by-play, which he hasn't. It is a bit distracting,” Marchand wrote. “Putting Olbermann in the booth was a bad decision. This game doesn't need a gimmick.”

The Twitter responses are priceless.

I just want to know who Keith is blackmailing at ESPN to constantly be able to go back to work there, even after failed attempts.

Espn is ok with Olbermann calling for the president to be murdered, but not with Schilling complaining about trannies in the mensroom with young girls.
frick espn.
frick espn.

I watched the game for a little while. It was pretty bad.
You add that to Olbermann being a complete loon and it was terrible.

This guy is so eaten up with anger and bitterness he might as well be a lump of kryptonite. There was a time, many moons ago, when I enjoyed him, then he began to take himself seriously

Member the early 90s when Olberman and Dan Patrick were actually good on Sportscenter? Before the NWO took over ESPN...I member.

It's good to see people saying that ESPN has lost its way. The network was fun a long time ago. Now it sucks. Can't watch it.

Yes, that era then somebody tinkled in his Post Toasties

Perfect example of how much potential humor is being left on the table in today's climate.

Yep, they were really good. Patrick still is. Dan Patrick show is entertaining.

Olbermann is as classless as it gets.

Why would someone be so childish as to hope he is a terrible play caller just because he's against Trump?
I didn't watch him and have no opinion on how well he did, but I'm an adult and DGAF what his political beliefs are.

No one hopes he is a terrible play caller. We are amazed he still has a job after his tweets considering what others have been fired for.
Here is a sample of his madness:

How has he not been banned by Twitter for hate speech?
