It was a powerful TV moment that could have helped a new morning TV show put a stake in the ground. After Reuben Foster of the 49ers was charged with multiple felonies for allegedly beating up his girlfriend, Michelle Beadle of ESPN's new "Get Up" criticized GM John Lynch's position that the team should let the justice system play out before making a decision on the second-year linebacker.

If you think that is bad, they just re-hired Keith Olbermann

We need to double-down on the NFL kneelers. BOYCOTT!
ESPN is in a ratings death spiral. Nothing will change that. They are reaching the point where they can’t pay the big bucks for exclusive sports contracts. Going “Woke” is a desperate, misguided attempt to increase ratings.
They aren’t concerned about ratings. Did Goebbels give a dam about ratings in 1939? Nope.
If I could get cable/satellite to remove ESPN from my menu I could probably save 10% of my bill as ESPN charges them a lot. I have no use for ESPN, none.
Think Golic is too smart for that to happen....... but given enough money...
FOCUS ON SPORTS. There are enough shows to deal with politics.
If I tune into ESPN I want to see sports....not political agenda.
Stopped watching ESPN, too Leftwing.
But everyone of these morons think they have a right to lecture us on politics!
How does that Communist continue to get hired?
Likewise.
