This is NOT about "Mike & Mike"...we have Dana Jacobson, the lead anchor of one of ESPN's more prominent programs slurring her slurs on the dais at a public event. ESPN is always so quick with the video when someone else is the focus of the tragedy, comedy or perfidy, now they're trying to suppress any and all video from their event.

I'm not the type who gets offended by religious slurs. I figure if people are that ignorant, they probably lead a pretty meaningless life anyway.

The bottom line is the issue is with ESPN's hypocrisy

They have addressed her apology on their website. However, they left off the most important part of the issue (the "f&^K Jesus" part), which her apology, as reported in the Chicago Tribune ("I respect all religions and did not mean anything derogatory by my poorly chosen words."), strongly implies that she in fact said it. They've tried to dodge the main issue. The outrage is not so much about Dana Jacobson and what she said at a Roast. The issue is with ESPN and how they have gone about trying to cover-up the fiasco.

No, the issue is what they dares say openly at a public event, knowing that her hearers will treat it as if she farted into an open mike. It shows what we are up against when THEY control the means of communication, by THEM I mean people who hate Christianity.
