And the (MS)ESPN morning show she co-hosts, Clay Travis calls WokeCenter, is tanking in the ratings. Which sports fan wants to get ready for work hearing some nag in the morning?

Could somebody explain exactly what is meant by the “As a woman” part? How does that change the meaning of the sentence? if you left it out, would the sentence mean something else?

Marginal people get marginalized.

She works for ESPN and therefore by definition is marginal. she is a token hire who exists on the margin.

[Michelle Beadle] said that she was so fed up with the NCAA and NFL’s response to controversies like these that she was boycotting both this year.

Even though I agree with her sentiments, neither organization cares unless it impacts their bottom line. When I see men refuse to stand for our National Anthem, I think of the friends I know who died on foreign soil so these overgrown brats can take a knee. The NFL and the team owners need to grow a pair and demand respect for the Fallen when they are at their job. I have less than zero respect for the lot.

This seems to be (from what facts we get from the media) a manipulative decision that satisfied no one. It didn't please crazed "me too" type Nazis who would be satisfied with nothing short of a public hanging. It didn't please those who may or may not like Meyer, but don't think he should be punished for something he didn't know about because he should've known about it.

The Ass't Coach's wife never should've confided in Meyer's wife, because workplace disclosure rules put her in a tough spot. She should've gone to the police and filed a report. Reports are the College President is an appeaser, so felt he had to do something. What I don't like at all is after those who would never be satisfied anyway created the uproar, Meyer made another, groveling statement "clarifying his position" about violence against women. Even though he wasn't violent against women and it's quite possible he was never informed about what his wife was told.

You can't make this stuff up.

I assume she’ll be resigning?

As a man, women dabbling in football broadcasting has helped to ruin the game. Let it all fall down.

While many analysts have offered strong condemnations of Meyer and Ohio State, perhaps the strongest came from ESPN’s Michelle Beadle. She said that she was so fed up with the NCAA and NFL’s response to controversies like these that she was boycotting both this year.

I gotta laugh at the idiocy ESPN has brought upon itself, but isn't an employee of a sports media outlet who boycotts major sports the equivalent of a car salesman who refuses to sell cars?

When I canceled my cable, the rep said “You won’t be getting stations like ESPN.” I said “Exactly why I am canceling.”

“That being said, there’s a reason why this will be the second season I don’t watch NFL and I don’t spend my Saturdays watching college football either.

This is one of the many reasons I hate "political correctness"

Snowflakes like this Beadle woman whose job description is to report on sports...ALL sports. Even the ones she finds distasteful.

They want to join the "ole boys club" but once in they complain it's not "woman friendly"

ESPN pays you 5 million dollars a year on the soon-to-be-cancelled "Get UP'(Get Woke?) morning sport talk show. Suck it up, Buttercup. Or better yet, just quit and go back to your "wymen's studies" class.

Tom Hanks: "There's no crying in football!"

Lady, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Just one more reason why we no longer watch the PC Pink, SJW, national felon league.

Used to be an avid fan, along with my entire family. We haven't watched a single game, or spent a dime on any merchandise on this anti-American waste of time in over two years and don't miss it at all.

Isn’t that kind of like a bank teller saying they’re gonna boycott money for a year?

Sounds like a whiny b###h.

Beadle has been switched to leave Get Up and do NBA show.

She will be replaced by a rotating cast of...more women...and the show will be cut by an hour.

And Jamelle Hill has had her contract bought out and is leaving MSESPN.
