When other members of the liberal MSM are turning on ESPN over this, it is clear to everyone that ESPN went Full Retard.

ESPN idiots think they’re in a 1964 movie - when those brave enough to stand up to white racist were true heroes...

Yes, standing up to racists like Al Gore’s father, Robert Bryd, Morning Joe’s family etc took courage... BACK IN ‘64.

But today the old Southern Establishment has flipped into today’s Liberal Elites... and the new victims aren’t black they’re working class Americans.

So, ESPN once again YOUR type is standing with the powerful majority of Establishment thugs...

I’m embarrassed for ESPN... really... sorta. They deserve the shame.

I already contacted ESPN and explained to them that I was triggered by their stupidity and I put them on a one year do not watch list.

Since that is a super secret probation there is no way they will figure out how to un-trigger me. :-)

just as the left pushes for sensitivity training on social issues in business and government. I think The right should push for stupidity training to counter the damage done by the sensitivity training.

“And who said network executives think their audiences are stupid fools?..”

I am a good way through reading a book about the late Gene Rayburn (host of Match Game) and in it contains the story about what caused the show’s ratings to drop dramatically in about 1977-78, after being on top in years like 1974, 1975, 1976, and a good deal of 1977.

Apparently, some executive at CBS (who had been fired previously by Chuck Barris) decided that MG should be moved from 3:30pm to 11:00am over most CBS stations. The ratings cratered because that took away the junior high/high school crowd immediately. In his own notes for a memoir he was not able to fully write or complete, Gene was still very angry all those years later at that executive over that decision. Seems like the same boneheaded mentality is still present in this situation with ESPN.

Given the state of education in this country and the composition of ESPN’s audience, they might be right.

They are going to need market training for their ex-employees after this round of BS.
