Agree, Holtz is on Hannity’s great great great American panel, and he uses football analogies, ESPN is not going to now complain about a letter unless it was printed on ESPN logo stationary.

ESPCN is obsessed with Zero. Though to be fair I have heard some anti-socialist things said on there, but their job is sports not politics.

Fowler is ESPN’s closet case, if you’ve ever seen him on there.

I've liked Lou Holtz for many years, long before I had even an inkling of his politics.

I didn't like Holtz when he was the head coach at Arkansas.

Again, this entire "story" is pure, 100% garbage. THERE IS NO *STORY*. The blogger is trying to make something of it to get attention. And you fell for it and gave it to him.

Well, I guess you didn't read my post (below), in #3:

Please note that the source of this "article" is actually media gossip from a blog, it is not a fact that Lou Holtz is in hot water at ESPN for his political comments. Not yet anyway...

And after my post #3 above, I guess you missed post #16, in which kcvl provided a link that stated the following fact that Mike Soltys of ESPN had indeed spoken to Lou Holtz to essentially "shut up" about his politics:

ESPN: Lou Holtz Silenced When It Comes To Politics

Excerpt from article:

You can officially add ESPN to the list of places where you shouldn’t discuss politics or religion.

After Lou Holtz had some choice words to say about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, an ESPN spokesperson said the 73-year-old would be silenced when it came to politics.

“We have discussed this with him and he will not be involved in any future similar efforts,” said Mike Soltys of ESPN.

“Politics” means holding conservative beliefs. Moonbattery is apolitical. Or something...
