Israel missing on ESPN, but 'Palestine' present

The country of Israel is missing from at least part of ESPN’s website, while Palestine is included throughout, raising the eyebrows of some sports fans, since Israel is an existing country and Palestine is not. The portion where Israel is missing is in the TV-listing section of ESPNAmerica.com. A drop-down menu at the top right of the page has countries listed in alphabetical order. On the list are Hungary, Iceland, Iran and Ireland, immediately followed by Italy, Jordan and Kazakhstan......."

ESPN supports a terrorist organization. Nice. Someone needs to send DHS and the FBI an FYI ASAP.

Thou shall not be an “Israel”. Only Obama can be an “Israel” because he is politicaly correct and does what he is told to do, the epitomy of comformity following setter, appoligizing because he wants us to appologize.

But they do have room for a video interview of Obama. Espn loves to promote this guy throughout the year. As a side note, the video is titled “the BS Report”...haha.

Thanks for posting. Once again, World Net Daily has picked up a Free Republic original report and claimed it as their own.

Link to FR article and 'message board comment' quoted by WND.

When the Little League World Series games were on, ESPN did not recognize Taiwan as a nation. They were referred to as Chinese Taipei. The International Olympic Committee also does this.

You want to see whats really happening? Take a look at this video from Dec 2011.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9bn-k2UtBg&feature=player_embedded#!

Not one of the broadcasters dared to “say” what the gunman was yelling. At 2:42 a witness states that the Muslim idiot murderer at Sunset and Vine was shouting “Alahu Akbar” as he walked along the street shooting at cars, wouunding and killing one driver, before being dispatched by the LA Police. The self censorship of our media is so sick on reporting the truth of identity and any issue of “Islam” and “Muslims”,so much so that it is treasonous to our nation, its culture of freedom and the people.

We no longer have a free press in this country.

Good, because it appears to be incorrect:
