You really picked a perfect analogy. I can’t boycott the NFL any more than I already do, with my interest level round zero. I love hockey though.
Oh, I still follow pizzagate. I sadly know all about spirit cooking. I was dismayed to see Lady Gaga there because she does have a great voice. Oh well.
Rush chooses Rush first. He appreciates his audience but takes them for granted and is willing to toss us under the bus.
This is why I realize what a real treasure Sean Hannity is. Even when he, too, is commanded by his bosses to avoid a subject, he finds a way to allude to it or sneaks a line or two in. He has put his career at risk by choosing a candidate for the country, and alienating even his friends in doing so. Nobody’s perfect, but Hannity would not lie to his audience. That is very important to me.
You are correct about Sean Hanity. He does find ways to get around "the powers that be", doesn't lie to his audience, and like Jeff Kuhner, has put his career on the line and lost "friends" because of his support for PEOTUS Trump and his love of country.
