ESPN fires outspoken Christians Ray Lewis and Cris Carter

Of course.

“Dan, you have no evidence whatsoever that ESPN fired them because of their Christianity.”

You’re right. I don’t. It’s possible they didn’t and I certainly can’t prove they did. But here’s what I do know: ESPN has already proved it will fire people who are outspoken in the expression of views that don’t comport to the left-wing worldview that ESPN either a) holds; or b) intends to appease at every opportunity.

That was Ray Lewis in his bad boy phase. A sense of what matters to Ray these days is that he sent his son Rayshad to a Catholic High School in Orlando -- and saw Rayshad as QB lead the football team to the state championship.

Interviewed after the game, proud papa Ray declared, “To see him to do what he did today, this is what parents live for. He’s done something the Lewis family has never done before. We’ve touched (greatness) at the highest level, but to do at the high school level is special. This is something you always remember. I’m so proud of my son and his team. When you watch your children accomplish something like this -- that’s what life is about.”

Too bad. I actually like listening to Cris Carter. He always tells it like it is and seems smart about sports.

While Bomani Jones gets a pat on the back for wearing a Cleveland Caucasians shirt on air.

Yeah you definitely fire Ray “never married with 6 kids” Lewis because of his religion. Not because he’s kind of abrasive and can speak for 4 minutes without actually saying anything.

ESPN is going through a serious overhaul, especially on the football coverage side.

With all the recent firings, they’ll have no one to announce the scores other than the janitor. ESPN needs to get over itself.

Throw ESPN in with Target, Penneys, IBM, Wells Fargo, Chevron, Angies List, Paypal, Apple, Starbucks, and all the other pervert-loving abominations. When are Orthodox people of all faiths going to stand up with Hobby Lobby, Chik-Fil-et, Buck knives, and other God-fearing companies and stop these gestapo tactics of the left?

The hispanic, guy with Jones. Cant think of his name, but is extremely paranoid toward whites, and seems a racist. His job should be safe. He has very little talent though.

Ugh. This ESPN crap worries me. The country is about to make a hard right turn, and they are going to get very unpopular very quickly if this keeps up.

My retirement plan revolves around Disney stock!

Kodi and streaming from Overseas websites is hitting ESPN hard, so sad to bad. Legislation to bail them out is just around the corner most likely;

Long as espn keeps foring conservatives like Schilling then yes, the network will be sheltered.
