Sorry, If it wasn't for ESPN, I wouldn't need a TV.

We should wait to hear from Rush (did he resign on his own) before we make a move like this, IMHO.

Ah, but Rush DID do something wrong. He tried to turn a football show into a political show. And that's not what ESPN is selling.

Maybe in July/August.

As for Sept-June, SportsCenter is not missed.

Sorry. Plus, I happen to have many friends who work there and I get cool free stuff all the time.

Some things can't be avoided.

I wouldn't boycott ESPN over the Rush incident. I listen to him regularly, and I tuned in on Sunday morning just because he was on the show. Now that he won't be there, I won't tune in to that particular show.

The ESPN executives are relieved that Rush is gone. But they wear panties, so what else could you expect?

Hey, at least they gave Rush a chance. IMHO, even though what he said may have some merit he probably should not have said it.

ESPN is owned by ABC. ABC gave Dennis Miller a shot. ESPN gave Rush a shot. I give them credit considering most people think of them as a 'liberal' network.

If you boycott ESPN, you also have to boycott Monday Night Football and the rest of ABC sports. Personally, nothing is going to make boycott the baseball playoffs, part of which are being shown of ESPN, sorry.

Heard a statement read by ESPN that they regretted Rush's comments and that they were inappropriate.

So much for ESPN standing by their man!

As far as I am concerned, we can let them know how much we regret ESPN.......especially if you are a Neilson family.

But watching a bunch of pretty boys using the latest popular BS catch phrases and adulating athletes is so enjoyable...

I am boycotting only their pre-game show on Sunday and NFL Primetime.

We are losing the battle - be very afraid for the future of the white male. Genocide is around the corner (20-30 years) - Mark it down. Just look at world wide population growth patterns.

Sorry, Rush used a sports show to take a swipe at the news media. What he said may or may not have been right or racist or whatever, but certainly had no place in that forum.

I like Rush and if he said that he thought McNabb was over rated and left it at that we wouldn't even be talking about this today.

I know that to a lot of you, Rush is always right, can do no wrong,etc etc ...

Despite the fact that there was merit to what he said,he should have known that a racial flavoured comment on ESPN would cause lots of trouble. Pro Sports are a mainstay in the African-American community.

The guy has such an blatant boring ego problem, he thinks he can do whatever he pleases.

Fare Thee Well Big Boy ....

Don't know if I'm duplicating another post, but Rush was giving the credit for the Eagles' success to their defense (in his opinion). It just so happens that 10 of the 11 first team defense players are black. Now if Rush had said "black defense" instead of just "defense", maybe all this would not have happened. I guess it depends on how much Rush-haters need to inject race into every argument.

Up front, I am and have been a Broncos fan for 29 years and look forward to kicking the Chiefs butt this weekend!

Everyone remember Brian Griese as the Denver QB? I never thought that Brian was that bad a QB, just that his teammates never made any plays when they needed to. Brian was murdered by the media in Denver. In fact, some of the OP piece writers are still dogging Griese.

I live in the Philadelphia area. I like Donovan McNabb and have followed him all through college and his years in Philly. Although Donovan has played simply awful QB as of late, Donovan has not gotten the business from the Philly media like Griese got from the Denver media, and there is one reason why. What Limbaugh said is true and if you look at the coverage of the 2 QBs like I have, it is easy to see that the media is reluctant to dog a black QB like they would a white.

Why is it racist to state the obvious?

I could care less about ESPN. I already boycott CBS, NBC, ABC, MTV, VH1, and CNN (and told them that when Neilsen sent me a survey). I could care less about watching most sports. I would rather go play them instead of watching. If a business is broadcasting a football or hockey game (the only ones I watch) I will look at them, but I have too many other things to do to watch sports much anyways.

All watching TV (especially the news) does is raise my blood pressure and I want to live past 35... At this rate, I won't make it till 31... and I'm 30 now.

The Neo-Libs (read National Socialists) want to do everything they can to detroy anyone critical of their insane beliefs. Already there is a report on Drudge about a supposed drug addiction by Rush. They, the Libs, have this Wilson thing out (another lie) and now the Rush "incident" (all he did was tell the truth). They are trying to bury the Kuwait WMD sting operation.

If the Libs really want to see racists and bigots, all they need to do is look in a mirror.
