ESPN's Fans Don't Want Them to Cover Politics
« on: May 20, 2019, 06:16:41 PM »
From the "No duh" department:

https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2019/05/20/shocker-espns-president-finally-realizes-that-our-fans-do-not-want-us-to-cover-politics/

Now lets see them (not that I watch them) do something about it. A few of those ESPN hosts that I've seen quoted make the Young Turks look far right.

Well, politics is turning into a spectator  blood sport and in some lefty strongholds it is also audience participation ala antifa.

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

What?

How can I enjoy baseball if the announcer isn't telling me that Trump Rage Syndrome is the reason the infielder let the fly ball drop?

Or the running back fumbled because he was worried that Trump's rollbacks in Obama care is going to mean his CTE is an uncovered pre-existing condition?
