Olbermann continued a pattern of controversial social media posts

Former ESPN broadcaster Keith Olbermann once again incited backlash on social media Wednesday after he called late legendary college football coach Lou Holtz a "legendary scumbag" in an X post on the day Holtz was announced dead.

"Legendary scumbag, yes," Olbermann wrote in response to a clip of Holtz criticizing former President Joe Biden in 2020 for supporting abortion rights.

Olbermann received scathing criticism in response to his post on X.

SNIP

One user echoed that sentiment, writing to Olbermann, "You're the real scumbag here. Lou Holtz had more class, integrity, and genuine decency in his pinky finger than you'll ever show in your lifetime."

He thinks being pro-life makes someone a scumbag?

Talk abut calling good evil and evil good!

He used to be a decent sports commentator back in the day.
Then he lost his mind. Literally. He was too much even for networks like msnbc.

I never liked him as a sportscaster, or the guy he was partnered with.

To say Olbermann is trash would be denigrating trash.

Nothing new here, to Olberman, ANYONE that is not a vile, hateful, nut-case, far-left, totally insane and shameless, evil liberal is a scumbag.

Imagine, if you will, a Fox anchor referring to Jesse Jackson in the same descriptive manner.
