And MTV used to play music videos. So what?
Cut the cord. There are plenty of ways to get visual entertainment that doesn't involve giving money to liberal Democratic causes.
Good un-excerpted commentary ping ...
“Everyone has known that he punched her for over six months...”
That’s a lot of punching.
Perhaps the author meant something else.
ESPN is the leftist PC version of sports. The whole damn thing is a charade to promote their godless & selfish worldview.
I don’t know who I despise more: ESPN & their crews or the worthless jock-sniffers that watch them.
Everything is turning into a mindless Twitter format..retweet, retweet, retweet......
Once a day, first thing in the morning to get her attention? Depends on your definition of “punch”, right?
Perhaps the author did intend something else...
You can’t just blame ole Keith on this one....they’ve ALL TURNED into Keith Olbermann.
Actually, that smarmy shemale Bob Lee may be the worst of the bunch.
I think the basic premise here is wrong. ESPN has figured out that there simply isn't enough content to fill a 24/7 schedule for sports. They also figured out that talk radio and cable news have a great business model based on 24/7 content -- sensationalist commentary on current political/social events -- that doesn't cost them a penny to generate. That's how you end up with "sports stories" in the media that used to be relegated to People magazine in print and "Entertainment Tonight" on television.
Overriding agenda-driven sports, entertainment, music, news. Soap operas of socialists.

I agree with the author about ESPN,but Peterson put a slave whipping on a four year old!
Is it reasonable to assume that he took time out to eat and sleep?
As ESPN and the the other leftist bleating networks surround the NFL castle with their torches and pitchforks ready to burn it to the ground, I wonder if the suits in the corner offices give any thought to where their money will come from once the golden goose is well and truly lying dead, roasted in the smoldering rubble.
You have an alternative now..FOX Sports...
ESPN should not be in the business of politics. But calling what Petersen did an act of caring is repugnant.
When the author claimed Peterson was merely disciplining his kids he proved himself to be a total moron.
The issue isn’t what Peterson did, the issue is what the Vikings did because of the ESPN echo chamber. Nothing changed concerning what Peterson did and what we know about it between last week when he was charged, Monday when he was reinstated by the Vikings and Wednesday when he was deactivated again. The only thing that changed is that ESPN wouldn’t stop talking about it on an endless loop. They frankly are following Alinsky style tactics. It mirrors the created hype on network political news.
Personally, sports has been an enduring passion in my life but I have NEVER been able to stomach ESPN.
