Woke Disney Forces ESPN To Hold ‘Moment of Silence’ In Protest Of Florida’s Parental Rights’ Bill
Legal Insurrection ^ | 22 Mar 2022 | Fuzzy Slippers

Posted on 03/22/2022 6:05:02 AM PDT by Rummyfan

ESPN is officially a lost cause. The sports (?) network long ago leapt on the woke bandwagon with a vengeance. Although we occasionally hear murmurings from ESPN management that they want to return to focusing on sports at their sports network, their parent company, the wokest place on earth, Disney is having none of it.

This time they are taking aim at Florida’s parental rights’ bill, a bill that is very popular despite media attempts to lie about its contents.

To my mind, this bill doesn’t go far enough in setting the cut-off at third grade. Fourth grade (age 9-10) is still far too early to “teach” about sexuality or sex . . . replete with graphic ‘cartoons’ of same-sex oral sex. I’m not sure there’s a need for this to be “taught” in schools at all.

But over at Disney’s ESPN, they are in mourning—holding a ludicrous ‘moment of silence’—over the Florida legislature’s move to protect our very youngest and most innocent and to return decisions about when children learn about these things to the parents.

Note that the broadcasters don’t seem overly thrilled here, and they are very clear that the order for this lunacy came straight from Disney.

Is ESPN still a thing? I did not know it was even still around.

Agreed, I wonder who still actually watches that channel.

File this under “Everything Disney touches turns to cr@p.”

So...what grade would be appropriate?

The 8 people watching were not amused

I still watch Pardon the Interruption occasionally - Kornheiser is funny. But the PC nonsense is off-putting. And they plug the WNBA and NCAA women's hoops because they broadcast said games. And really WGAS about them? If they were honest they'd say 'I don't know anything about women's hoops and I don't care either'.

Yes, moment of silence for folks who want to openly prey on children... meanwhile this is what your coworkers have been up to...

Women are idiots.... I’m sorry to the women offended by this, I know its not all women, but mush minded feeling driven women are the ones letting this crap fester and grow and make excuses for it, by and large.

Until of course it’s their daughter or son who’s the victim of one of these sickos.

Walt Disney would be sickened by what this greedy bunch has done to his name - making the park unaffordable for middle and working class families, taking crackpot leftist political stands, bullying on a fading sports channel. So sad.

The people who control Disney are demanding full and unfettered access to your children. They need to be stopped and held accountable.

Your probly right I was being kind.....also

“Today during the Women’s NCAA Tournament, ESPN’s Carolyn Peck and Courtney Lyle remained silent for two minutes....”

So all it was, was the 2 announcers shut their pie holes for 2 minutes.

Did anybody notice I wonder?

Uhhh…Not sure? How about an unequivocal NO. Not at any grade.

They’re like Satanists holding a moment of silence for the children they won’t be able to sexually abuse.

But Wilbon is probably the angriest racial demagogue on that channel, with the possible exception of Bomani Jones.

Yeah I’m glad I grew up in a time when we watched mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom and then the wonderful world of Disney on Sunday nights...those days are long gone.

I only live 2 hours from DW.

WAy back when I read DW was allowing homosexual employees to add their “partner” on their company medical insurance that was the last dime they ever got from me.

They are a cesspool of child traffickers.

True. Tired of Wilbon's pontificating and signaling he's down for the struggle when he must be one of the most successful black men in the country. And he's a shameless suck-up to NBA players.

I bailed from Disney when they made Geppetto an inner city barber from Baltimore
