I am STUNNED at the number of people, even conservatives, who do not see that libs are actively trying to destroy football, and even more stunned at conservatives who do not instinctively know WHY libs hate football.

[SevenofNine]

Yeah I even notice on my SO Cal radio station KLAC 570am talk about liberalism

I think NFL try to hard on rating wise get “female viewers” trust me I am Oakland turn LA turn Oakland again Raider fan

I don’t need to be talk down on Football

[Dr. Ursus]

This was all started by Goodell’s pandering to women. How’ that work in’ out for ya?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Listening to them bloviate for about an hour this morning on the Adrian Peterson story, I’m inclined to agree.

[Vision Thing]

If NFL players started beating up pressholes during interviews and sports broadcasts, their cred with the true sports fans would go way up.

To hell with freedom of the (sports) press.

"...a great point – liberalism in the media fails at CNN, liberalism in the media fails at MSNBC – fail in terms of ratings,” Limbaugh said... Liberalism failed as Air America"

There was a progressive Air America radio station in the Seattle market (1080 AM) for a while. It had Al Franken, Jeanine Garafolo, Stephanie Miller and other radicals along with a strong population of potential liberal listeners. I listened to them quite often to learn what they think and hear comments from their fans.

I couldn't understand their business model and called once to ask Miller how they expected to fund their broadcasting and pay hosts if they were basically anti business and anti America in their message. I didn't realize she was in LA, but she said they do well in the Seattle market because of the strong democrat population. I asked if a good percentage were in fact unable to support retail sponsors, leaving them with mostly non-profit agencies to rely on for ad revenue.

She made fun of me an asked if I still write with crayons. Then her side-kicks made degrading jokes about me and conservatives in general. I hung up and they said, "there he goes back under the covers to pick his nose and listen to Fox News".

They went off the air a couple of months later and the station turned to Latino broadcasting, it think.

The PC movement of Women commentators/analyst/interviewers has fully enveloped every major sport. ...radio & TV

I'm not against knowledgeable female sports enthusiast but I see it as a PC movement to pacify liberals & the hags at NOW from bashing rich white male team owners.

While the owners say they did it to attract more females viewers/customers.

Hanna Storm is a good example of a knowledgable female sports enthusiast as opposed to other females seizing upon a PC movement.

Hanna was the trailblazer, starting her radio/TV sports reporting in Houston, long ago.

[Fledermaus]

It’s ironic fun to watch sports reporters put themselves out of business by tearing down the sports they cover.

Liberals - dumber than rocks.

So many fans, including Rush are stunned I think at how quickly and effectively the left has made professional football another platform for its propaganda.

[denydenydeny]

As always, freepers have the attention span of a fruit fly, and turn a thread about sports talk radio into a debate about the NFL.

But Rush’s point is a good one. Political lefty talk radio has always failed spectacularly. No one wants to listen to it. So what do leftists do? They migrate like cockroaches to talk radio that people DO want to listen to, namely sports, and they take it over. O’Sullivan’s Law in action.

Well, it is the arena of “journalism” that spawned Keith Olbermann.
