"Iger said that the network is working on reeling in its politics and focusing on sports."

No $h!+ Sherlock, even Stevee Wonder could see this one coming. Dumb-@$$es, ya didn't want to listen to us Deplorables we are sick of your PC culture virtue signaling hidden Soviet make everything political when all the average Joe wants is a bowl queso dip with chips, the national anthem, and a cold beer to go with his game, and maybe some cheetos and you bust his balls with politiks Soviet style all the time. In the words of Jeff Kuhner, Blank off, you lost me until my dirt nap.

He’s Asian.
