First of all it should be acknowledged, as another poster alerted me, that ESPN was writing articles about why players need to “protest” before Colin Kapernick started his idiocy. As others joined in, the sports networks, led by ESPN reveled in the mess they had helped create.

Didn't ESPN start turning itself into the SJW Network about ten years ago? Maybe longer?

I can't remember when I first started hearing about it (I've never watched ESPN). Was it when they fired Rush Limbaugh?

Fox Sports and CBS Sports are only a hairsbreadth different from ESPN. Wimpy commie claptrap all.

They have certainly been dominated by leftist sports journalists like any journalistic enterprise for a long time. This past three years they are targeting opportunities to stay political. And it isn’t just ESPN. FSN1 has a tirade by Shannon Sharpe with that gay guy that is his side-kick chiming in with support.

Don’t give them your attention or your money. Advise your state legislatures that higher education is harmed by Sports scholarships. Academic scholarships should be the only scholarships issued. Sports teams should be made up of degree seeking Sophomores and higher. Freshmen should study not play until they make two semesters of academic proof of their intent.

With our taxes and our kids’ tuition as a subsidy, we are creating a nation of thugs.

They also blocked him from buying into a franchise.
