ESPN Loon Blames Trump for Kaepernick Not Standing for National Anthem
Gateway Pundit ^ | August 28,2016 | Aleister

Posted on 08/28/2016 11:06:20 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Does everyone remember when ESPN was a sports network and not a left-wing social justice warrior network?

In the video below, one ESPN commentator asks another about the Kaepernick controversy of this weekend when the player refused to stand for the national anthem.

The second commentator immediately cites Donald Trump and his proposed temporary ban on Muslims from countries that sponsor terrorism as the reason. Then he even mentions Ferguson and the Black Lives Matter movement. Unreal!

What does ANY of that have to do with this?

Watch the video and turn it all the way up because the audio is a little faint. Earbuds work best to hear the whole exchange.

The Ministry of Propaganda isn’t just news outlets.
The narrative is woven into everything, sports, movies, advertising, weather channel, you name it.

I guess Donald Trump is responsible too for Tony Romo’s injury as well.

Mission Creep

It took down the Dixie Chicks.

Let’s hope ESPN political idiots are next.

Maybe we can invite some Jihadist “Refugees” to stay at ESPN headquarters, I bet they have plenty of rooms for them to stay in

I was done with the NFL when they did the “hands up” thing after Michael Brown assaulted a police officer and was shot coming back for more.
Good movements are not based on lies.
BlackLivesMatter, but not in Chicongo, except when shot by police?

I’ve been done with Rush since he went “full-throated” on Rubio. I’ve tried to listen a few times since, but I seem to always catch the times he’s slyly undercutting Trump.

What do refugees and Black Lies Matter have to do with sports? That’s like Mike Lupica of the NY Daily Snooze taking it upon himself to venture from sportswriting to actual news stories and falling flat on his biased and uninformed face. This clown Kanitwit should be thrown off the team and shipped to a country like North Korea or Saudi Arabia so he can experience how “free” a person can feel there. Imagine if this braindead ingrate would have to hold a real job!

ESPN has gone completely INSANE.

No wonder they are dragging the Disney company stock value down.

Someone at Disney better do so massive purges at ESPN and purge them FAST.

Democrat-communist media/entertainment propaganda complex. It’s one vast monolithic entity.

ESPN is losing subscribers like crazy

I read an article recently that some high percentage would cut all ESPN channels if they could to save $8/month

And ESPN is locked into all these long term very expensive pro and college contracts. Oh yeah, and the loser Longhorn Network too

Wake up, ESPN. . . . You used to be the leader, now you’re the loser

Along the lines of flying the flag upside for distress and not standing for the anthem because Obama is President.

Absolutely. There’s nothing that political correctness religion doesn’t touch.

ESPN and its shrinking number of subscribers have been blamed in part for slowing down its parent company, Disney.
