Jail is not fun. Most will just avoid it.

I watch very little sports mainly confined to Univ. of Kentucky basketball and football and unless they are only on ESPN that channel never appears on my TV. I don’t support totalitarians in any form.

Resistance occurs if a people are still able to act as one.

Resistance does need to be unanimous or even from a majority of the People. During the American Revolution only about 25% of the population supported the Revolution. During the Civil War a large portion of the North opposed the war.

All that is necessary is determination and influence. The gay rights movement is a perfect example of this.

Leadership, discipline and organization such as Lenin in Russia where 250,000 seized power in a country of 100,000,000.

The devil knows his time is short. He hates mankind and the LORD's word. He is taking as many captive and doing his bidding as he can. If you believe anything other then the following, you are already deceived.

"And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,"~Matthew 19:4

Anything else is pure rebellion against the Creator. For those embracing the lie, their conscience can not bare those who stand in the truth. The only answer is to try to suppress it. They are the blind attempting to lead the blind. But truth is truth no matter who attempts to redefine it. John 8:32

Except no one really likes him because he’s a bit of a dolt.

Where are the conservative geeks who can be the balance for this stuff? How come it’s so one-sided?

Well that may be, but banning him because of an issue like this, calls for support.

Sometimes you have to stand up for dolts when they are persecuted for a proper stance.

On a cursory review, it seems like his firing was just that.

If it can be explain reasonably that he was wrong, I’d like to have someone explain it to me. I might agree if the grounds for it are sound.

Crazy.

There was a rumor a little while back that General “Mad Dog” Mattis might be drafted at the convention, and I kind of joined in with the “I understand how some people feel about generals and politics...” When I stopped and thought:

“Good God, what am I saying?????? I would vote for Mattis 10,000X over before anyone in this or the last Presidential Election...”

True. Who the Hell to vote for?

Should make for a strong wrongful termination lawsuit against ESPN.

They cannot handle mockery, because their latest cause is absurd and based on lies.

Sounds like mooselimbs.

You would think, but these days...

It’d be up for grabs.

Stuff like this will simply plant the seeds for a future rebellion.

Resistance is futile

Certainly the Sheeple's version of resistance.

According to Limbaugh, the ones running this little scam are about a dozen in number, sitting in Mom’s basement and sending out millions of fake emails
Yeah, I've heard him say that a few times over the last few months.
But what has he done about it - has he named names, exposed them publicly, sued them? Anything?

Yeah, but see? It won’t matter for as long as people are unwilling to withhold even the least little thing from themselves.

Most of the same people grousing about ESPN firing Curt Schilling will set aside their ire and be watching ESPN next weekend because they just “have to see the big game.”

If sports is more important to people than even basic decency, why do we think ESPN will suffer in the least for this?

When I take my grand daughter out and she has to use the bathroom, while she’s in there NO man is going to go in.

There is no freedom of speech in this country.
