Gotta love an ombudsman who tells you your distaste for cold spinach will merely increase your portion of cold spinach.

Fox sports does to a degree.. What debate they do have on they usually have both sides. Plus they didn’t overpay for broadcast rights and can see them overtaking ESPN.

Of course they won’t. Didn’t they give some sort of “courage” award to that pri@kless cross-dresser Jenner?

Katie Nolan was trying to come out against Hannity on Twitter a couple of days ago. It was largely inarticulate; I only remember the F-word being used. Hannity took the high road, only suggesting to her that using that kind of language from her official account might be a hindrance to her career. She responded with typical millennial sarcasm.

What I been saying for years!

Colonial Americans talked politics at the taverns.Americans of the last three or four generations guzzle beer and argue over which millionaire can hit,catch, or throw a ball.

The only time I watch ESPN is with the sound turned off.

If I can find the same game broadcast on a local radio station then I will use it for sound. I much prefer to listen to a radio broadcaster describing plays than to an ESPN talking head rambling on about nothing.

Owned and operated by the same leftwing lowlifes that run Disney. Let them choke on their crap.

Whatever happened to MTV?

The same thing that happened to The Learning Channel (TLC). They both switched to running freak shows.

Mets fan here and yes I watched the Nats/Mets game. My god the announcers were horrible. Made you miss Joe “We were the actual winners in 75’” Morgan and John Milner

That women who constantly compares her experiences in a women’s softball league to what Major League baseball players goes through was laughable.

And they would went on & on & on & on about Max Scherzer being such a competitor, as if the other players weren’t trying

We need to bigger push for a la carte cable options.

http://www.businessinsider.com/cable-satellite-tv-sub-fees-espn-networks-2017-3

Cable and satellite TV customers pay more than $9.00 per month for ESPN networks whether they watch them or not

“a la carte cable options” is a First Amendment issue.
We have a government controlled media market that requires people to finance speech that they oppose.

This is in your face. Their writing here reminds me of the minutes of old Soviet party congresses in the USSR. The more meaningless words the better.

My wife and I just unconnected from Directv. We are at a place where we won’t watch anything at all rather than feminist and PC nonsense.

ESPN can drown in the own caca.

Won't make any difference to me. I stopped watching sports when the industry continued to employ scumbag criminals and dope addicts as long as said scumbags performed on the field.

I'll watch again when it goes back to a time when athletes played in their free time from their regular jobs.

Last week I was watching the NHL playoffs. Whenever it was between periods or during a break they would cut to a panel lead by non athletic looking woman, a white guy and a black guy to discuss the game. I might be wrong, but based on percentages I doubt the woman or black guy were the most qualified experts on hockey. I suspect the panel was selected for diversity rather than expertise. I dont remember if this was on ESPN but it seems to be a trend.

It sounds like ESPN has switched to a nail gun to drive the last few nails in their coffin.

Good.
