This is the same BSPN that is giving an award to Bruce Jenner for walking around as a “woman” but not cutting off his junk that is considered “honorable” but a brave woman like Lauren Hill who fought brain cancer and died gets nothing

Frankly, I don’t watch ESPN as the talking heads are total assholes who couldn’t carry the jockstraps of the athletes they love to pillory. Chris Berman is the worst of the bunch.

I suspect there must have been a contract on this.

If so, Trump will take another corporation to court and win.

Diversity and inclusion are core values at ESPN

So we will destroy anybody who does not agree with us.

Not at all. Some AP pansy sports writer was advocating for golf, specifically the PGA to boycott Trump.

No, not surprised. ESPN is the station that chose Bruce Jenner over Lauren Hill for its courage award, which caused lots of negative reaction.

ESPN further proves what Conservatives have been saying for a long time: You depart from the left's positions and you will be punished. There is a major move against the First Amendment and several of the big businesses are doing their share to silence Americans.

Trump is outing all sorts of anti-American bigots. Much like Geller has outed more islamic terrorists than the NSA.

This was a one day fund raiser. I expect some money was
spent in prep, planning, etc.

snip

The tournament, which is scheduled for July 14, will now be held at
Pelican Hill Golf Club in the Los Angeles area. In a statement,
ESPN noted that the event will benefit the Stuart Scott Memorial
Cancer Research Fund, a program that honors the late “SportsCenter”
anchor by “providing resources for important cancer research for
minority populations, including Hispanic and African Americans.”

The problem is that ESPN is buying up more and more events and limiting viewing to only those who view through ESPN.

For example, there is limited viewing of this year's British Open unless you have direct access to ESPN.

Also, if you have cable or dish and one of the channels "you didn't pay for" is ESPN, well they are getting some of your money.
