I'm boycotting ESPN not because of politics, but because of a bias towards UConn.

I'm boycotting ESPN because of politics and because their studio content is mindnumbingly STUPID.
I never again want to hear that so-and-so "rushed for a buck 25".
Moreover, "Boomer" Berman needs to void before going on air. I never again want to hear him speak as if he is straining at stool.

Well just like Knott’s Berry Farm, when the founder is gone so go their principles.

Sam Walton left his worthless siblings all the wealth none of the wisdom.

The Knotts family sold Knotts Berry Farm about 10 years after the parents died.

In other words, all of the entertainment arts is incestual, and you can’t get away from it save throwing out the TV and radio, papers and all magazines (except maybe Penthouse)

Well Yeah! I’m talking about what the family did while they still owned it. The day after Walter died they had alcohol in the park and profit was the ABSOLUTE.

No....I know someone that works on the business side of DD at A&E. He said that A&E has the rights to DD, so if the Robertsons decide to do something ouside of A&E they can not use the DD name without permission.

Disney has worked with DARPA and other government agencies. Yes, they do work with evil.

I guarantee you their ESPN holdings are the foundation that allows them to ignore viewer outrage.
Sports fans are worse than Jewish democrat voters.

That they are.
