ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski has reportedly been suspended without pay by ESPN for saying “f--- you” to Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley in an email. Hawley had sent a letter to NBA commissioner Adam Silver, complaining about the social justice messages NBA players are allowed to wear on the back of their jerseys, and Woj was responding to a press release Hawley’s office had sent to him. Woj apologized publicly and to his ESPN colleagues, but it doesn’t appear that’s had an effect on his suspension (which ESPN has yet to confirm or comment on). So NBA players have taken up the cause. After the news of Woj’s suspension broke on Saturday night, NBA players (both in the bubble and beyond) started tweeting the #FreeWoj hashtag on Twitter to support the veteran NBA reporter.

As if I needed another reason to never watch the NBA again....

LOL, I am so over woke sports that I chuckle every time I see a sports wokester strut his wokeness. There is almost no sport now that isn't full of in-your-face America hatred. On top of hating America, the NBA kow-tows to the Chi-Coms. I cannot see ever watching the NFL or NBA ever again. MLB is losing me with the new rules and the bogus short season. Guess PGA is all that is left.

If it weren’t for the NBA, this high school graduate bum would be in prison with most of his buddies.

The fact that he has a high school diploma and millions of dollars because he can play basketball very well, and NEVER had to work a ring-in-and ring-out job, would make him a most grateful young man. Instead, he’s a loud mouth racist with a totally rotten attitude toward our wonderful country.

May this punk and all his buddies go to hell.

Those on the Left are the first ones to cry that Trump is the one, solely responsible for fanning the flames of hate and discord in this country, yet they have no issues with people like this reporter using such profanity against a United States Senator.

I am surprised the Commissioner has not had his minions explain this to the players. Woj is not being punished for tweeting an obscenity to a Republican Senator. Woj is being punished for tweeting something that brings widespread public attention to the NBA’s loathsome subservience to the Chicom Regime.

Woj Streisand Effected a news item that 90+% of the public would never have heard of.

LeBron is single-handedly ending the NBA.

Take your damn lumps. It’s a stupid suspension, jackasses. Not a firing. God forbid a lib should miss a few weeks.

As far as the language: I’m sure those classy guys in the NBA defend it as “ain’t no thang...he only said it once...we do 50x a day!”

LeBron is on the take from the ChiComs. The Lakers wear the ‘WISH’ company logo on their jerseys. WISH is a Chinese knock-off company, sponsored by the ChiComs. We need to stop doing business with commies.

I can’t wait to see the first game of the NFL season, when the Black National Anthem is played, everyone stands hand over heart, then the Star Spangled Banner is played, everyone takes a knee totally disrespecting America....

[subterfuge]

I’m assuming Adrian is black. They would never “rally” for a white, right?

[Fred911]

I will not waste one minute watching the nfl or the nba. I will not spend one dime that goes towards the nfl or the nba. I’m sick of listening to ignorant millionaires talkin trash. BYE

[subterfuge]

Lebrown has the intellect of a house fly.

[lerker]
