Colin Cowherd: I want to talk about a lot of things. Most big brands avoid politics. Nike doesn't want anything to do with politics. Donald Trump: Right. Colin Cowherd: Donald, you jumped into politics. Were you concerned that it's not good for business? Donald Trump: Well you know, it's not good for business actually and it's not a positive from that standpoint. But I just felt, I've seen so many things go so bad.

Eight days after the company said its popular radio host and sometimes TV guy was leaving its ranks, ESPN has yanked him off its airwaves over remarks he made questioning the intellect of Dominicans.

It’s a familiar, tired...

Like Chris Rock and Larry the Cable Guy, Jerry Seinfeld avoids doing shows on college campuses. And while talking with ESPN’s Colin Cowherd on Thursday, the comedian revealed why: College kids today are too politically correct. “I hear that all the time,” Seinfeld said on The Herd with Colin Cowherd. “I don’t play colleges, but I hear a lot of people tell me, ‘Don’t go near colleges. They’re so PC.’” Seinfeld says teens and college-aged kids don’t understand what it means to throw around certain politically-correct terms. “They just want to use these words: ‘That’s racist;’ ‘That’s sexist;’ ‘That’s prejudice,’”...
