I am so weary of this! The only tool the Liberals fear is financial. The better half of the country supports Conservative positions.

Write the shows sponsors and boycott their products... I am going to do it!!

She's an idiot and ESPN should fire her. Anyone in her position who thinks saying shit like that on Twitter is going to be considered her "personal opinion" is a fool. Of course her employer is going to pissed off when they start taking heat over it. But because it's about Trump, all the people with Trump Disorder Syndrome lose all their common sense too.

I wrote ESPN customer service a complaint email just now and canceled my Insider/ESPN the magazine subscription. I've been growing more and more tired of their politics spilling into my sports.

I deleted the ESPN preset on my radio this morning on my way in and replaced it with Fox Sports.

ESPN is paying a really big price for its politics (and bad programming). People are dumping it in RECORD numbers. Apologize for untruth!

IMO, there were already a ton of valid reasons to boycott ESPN and their advertisers before this latest nonsense.

Only time I have eyes on espn now is when I'm at the gym. Fortunately I can't hear it unless I plug my headphones into the jack on the cardio equipment. We also dropped to a tier of Dish that doesn't include the 30 ESPN variants.

I don't think this boycott idea is going to go anywhere. Al Sharpton has said he will boycott ESPN if they fire Jemele Hill. If everybody threatens to boycott for opposing reasons, they will have to pick a side and stick with it. You know which side they'll pick.

I think the best thing to do is to cut the cord so ESPN will lose subscribers. Fewer subscribers means lower advertising rates for them and less money in their pockets. Does anyone know a good streaming service that doesn't bundle ESPN in their package?

ESPN, which had already distanced itself from Hill’s depiction of Trump as “a white supremacist,” has not fired Hill, but a report claimed that ESPN did try to take Hill off the air Wednesday and Smith reportedly also refused to do the show without Hill...


Spineless upper management refuse to remove these two race baiters, but Asian Sportscaster Robert Lee is pulled several weeks ago because of his name?

I just deleted the ESPN app from my phone. Wasn't watching the NFL anymore and I can add ESPN to the list of worthless fucks.


I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

Anxious to discuss President Trump's tweet against ESPN (and host Jamele Hill's comments), CNN set female anchor Brooke Baldwin on the task to get to the bottom of whether Hill did anything worth being fired for or if evil President Trump was trying to crush her First Amendment rights.

The interview started to go pear-shaped very quickly.

Addressing the question of the first amendment, Fox Sports Radio's Clay Travis said...

"I'm a first amendment absolutist and believe in only two things completely - the First Amendment and boobs..."

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Seeing as I hold the entire concept of "professional" "sports" in utter disdain, not watching or paying any attention to ESPN is pretty much a given.

That is the best 2:41 seconds of broadcasting in CNN's history. It really tugged at my heart strings. God bless you Clay Travis you wonderful human being.

ESPN College Game Day was in Blacksburg, VA yesterday for the Clemson/VA Tech game. This sign was in the crowd behind the set. I don't believe ESPN highlighted it or awarded it "sign of the day." It's good though

They can sit around and watch and listen to themselves. See how that works. Have not been a watcher for years.
