You just have to shake your head at ESPN's stupidity of alienating a significant portion of their audience. And si.com (Sports Illustrated website) is just as bad. They constantly have columnists pushing liberal politics into their columns. And si.com no longer has a "Comments" section where readers can correct the writers by pointing out their errors and bias. Liberals really make sports much less enjoyable for conservatives. I will gladly watch them lose their marketshare and profitability. They deserve to lose. Michael Jordan was right when he was asked why he didn't get involved in politics. He said that "Republicans wear shoes too." He was a smart businessman. Too bad that ESPN and Sports Illustrated refuse to learn from a Black businessman like Michael Jordan.

It is not just ESPN. It is the entire Disney leadership that needs to be dealt with in a definitive manner.

They went too far when they gave the ESPY Profile In Courage Award to Bruce Jenner for becoming transgendered over the teen women basketball who kept playing despite terminal cancer.

That and giving a platform to Obama to make his NCAA tournament brackets. That’s when ESPN crossed the line into being political advocacy.

And watch these “30-in-30” documentaries and notice how many of them turn the clock back to slavery or the civil rights era of the 1960s as a “starting point” for black athlete struggles, particularly Southern blacks.

Leftists are at the head of most major corporations, and are doing what the government can’t do because of the First Amendment: harassing and prosecuting people for thinking non-PC thoughts.

its all the networks...

last night on Jeopardy, there was a question about stocks, and the question was something like ..."this company by the name of GS, which gave heavily to the Trump campaign..."

as if the toons, the bushes and the bamma arse didn't have wall street and GS stuck up their behinds.

I worked in an office like that, and one day finally decided I’d had enough.
I got fed up with ‘passing’ and replied to a water cooler query: “No. I don’t think Bill Maher is funny. I think he’s an (fill in the blank).
The reactions, hmmm, stuned beebers all around. The closest thing I can think of to describe it would be—he’s right in the middle of a prayer and your preacher/priest/rabbi pauses, lifts his leg and lets one really rip.
Heh. Felt good man.

If you are cutting your cable or have cut it. This is good info.

Sling Blue does not carry any ESPN nor Disney channels.

Shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, but black women are a protected class in the federal government.

A bill now in the Senate could transform the federal government: the Federal Employee Non-Discrimination Act of 2017. Already passed in the House, supervisors would be held accountable when they violate the rights of those who work for them. An entry in their permanent personal file would be recorded, virtually eliminating any chance for promotion.

The mere possibility of such an action should make these Napoleans think twice.

Hey, come on! It isn’t that simple; to just pretend you’re a democRAT. You also have to pretend you’re okay with being a shameless liar, hate the Constitution, are pro-infanticide in the womb; pretty much bereft of any sense of morality. Like a muslim; anything is “moral” that helps advance the party or the cult. IMHO.

Not surprising that people have to pretend to be liberals to maintain employed. It must be pretty common at universities and in Hollywood as well.

They are corporately linked to ABC and ABC has links to the BBC in news and so on........

The White House could send a message along the lines of a prohibition on ABC and BBC from the WH press room citing Curt Schilling and Rush Limbaugh at ESPN and so on.

Actually, it isn't confined to just those areas. The dirty little secret is that much of corporate America is run by liberals, now, so even an area that used to be pretty strongly conservative is now infected with this SJW BS.

Yeah good point. Most of the people I worked with were elated when Obama was reelected.

Bill Rasmussen would hate the network he created. Of course, Walt would hate his company he started...

Lauren Hill was Athlete of the Century. All she wanted to do was to put on a college basketball uniform and play the game she loved. A hero to girls everywhere. So ESPN gives an award to Bruce Jenner for putting on a dress.
Rot in hell ESPN. Bowing down to 3% of the population is not smart.
