“You know, the LPGA Tour to me is a completely different tour than it was 10 years ago,” Lye said. “… You couldn’t pay me to watch. You really couldn’t. Because I just, I couldn’t relate at all.

It’s kind of like, you know, if you’re a basketball player — and I’m not trashing anybody; please, don’t take it the wrong way — but I saw some highlights of ladies’ basketball. Man, is there a gun in the house? I’ll shoot myself than watch that.

So much for SiriusXM allowing cutting edge free speech.

The guy can't watch the WNBA, nobody can, but it's a Leftist sacred cow.

Indeed it is. But no one watches and no one cares.

His crime was saying what everyone is thinking.

Commentator comments, gets fired for commentating. Apparently, expressing the opinion a particular sport is boring is now a firing offense.

This guy is fired, but that silly little girl on ESPN who said that the WNBA was just as good as the NBA? No, she keeps her “career.”

The WNBA is awful. It’s strongest demographic for viewers is older white men who want to see more fundamentals-oriented basketball.

“The guy can’t watch the WNBA, nobody can, but it’s a Leftist sacred cow.”

The left is persistent, the left controls indoctrination, the left is driven. A long time ago, we used to laugh at soccer. The left loved soccer. We called the soccer players in High School, lawn fairies. Now? Soccer is all over the place in the US and is developing a serious following.

Persistence pays off. I wouldn’t be surprised if one day WNBA has a real following.

It's the WNBA, nobody dares say the King wears no clothes.

LOL. Should have gone with the “nappy headed hoes” angle, just for good measure. If you’re going to get fired anyway, then why not?

Apparently the sound of the word “gun” triggers some mal-functioning ganglions and all rationality is lost.

Soccer only has a “real following” in the U.S. among two groups:

1. Kids who play it until they’re teenagers, then outgrow it (along with their family members — especially their mothers)

2. Immigrants who are passionate soccer fans but laugh at the comical joke of U.S. soccer while they follow their favorite players on Real Madrid, Manchester United, FC Bayern Munich, etc.

Yep, two strikes and you're out, criticizing the WNBA and using the word "gun'.

"So much for SiriusXM allowing cutting edge free speech."

Over the last week or so, several SiriusXM stations have been playing Neil Young and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young ad nauseam.

I can’t handle that wymyn’s “basketball”. All of the giggling, jiggling and bouncing is too distracting.

Seems a bit extreme to cut him.

Get a load of that random tweet they plopped in the article? Who is this ass that tweeted the XM station needs to be burned down?

I guess that’s ok. But don’t say you’re bored by womens sports. Or black sports. Or Polynesian sports. (I bet it’s ok if it was mens or white guys’ sports.)

Yes, criticizing the NFL for not enough Black coaches is the hip thing, cutting edge PC.
