Why We Should Boycott ESPN

Posted on 10/02/2003 7:52:46 AM PDT by Libs R Evil

ESPN could easily have come out and said that Rush said nothing wrong, and said they supported him and wanted him to stay, but instead they sat back and did nothing. IMO anyone who aquiesces to PC naziism, or refuses to stand up against it is part of the problem. IMO its time for a boycott of ESPN.

Sorry, If it wasn't for ESPN, I wouldn't need a TV.

We should wait to hear from Rush (did he resign on his own) before we make a move like this, IMHO.

Thats why the liberal crowd is winning. One of these days soon it may be too late to sacrifices a little for a lot.
You are certainly entitled to do as you wish but conservatives need to take a stand before it is too late.
A white person is the only person in the world who is not off limits to the PC crowd and even white liberals get away with much more than Rush said!

Ah, but Rush DID do something wrong. He tried to turn a football show into a political show. And that's not what ESPN is selling.

Maybe in July/August.

As for Sept-June, SportsCenter is not missed.

Sorry. Plus, I happen to have many friends who work there and I get cool free stuff all the time.

Some things can't be avoided.

What did Rush have to say about Rick Santorum during that incident?

No he did not and if you actually watched ESPN you would not make such an ill-informed comment. I can't wait for the NFL network to say F-0ff ESPN.

I wouldn't boycott ESPN over the Rush incident. I listen to him regularly, and I tuned in on Sunday morning just because he was on the show. Now that he won't be there, I won't tune in to that particular show.

The ESPN executives are relieved that Rush is gone. But they wear panties, so what else could you expect?

Hey, at least they gave Rush a chance. IMHO, even though what he said may have some merit he probably should not have said it.

ESPN is owned by ABC. ABC gave Dennis Miller a shot. ESPN gave Rush a shot. I give them credit considering most people think of them as a 'liberal' network.

If you boycott ESPN, you also have to boycott Monday Night Football and the rest of ABC sports. Personally, nothing is going to make boycott the baseball playoffs, part of which are being shown of ESPN, sorry.

Heard a statement read by ESPN that they regretted Rush's comments and that they were inappropriate.

So much for ESPN standing by their man!

As far as I am concerned, we can let them know how much we regret ESPN.......especially if you are a Neilson family.

Rush did NOT try to "turn a football show into a political show." The PC MEDIA is GUILTY of THAT!!!! sheesh. Rush just stated a THOUGHT (OH, MY, GOD.....THOUGHTS)...that is patently obvious to MANY and, offensive (anything about RACE) to the "OFFENDED PARTY, commonly known as Democrats in Commie drag.

But watching a bunch of pretty boys using the latest popular BS catch phrases and adulating athletes is so enjoyable...

If I am not mistaken, ABC is owned by Disney. Anyone want to call them fair and balanced. They hired Rush because their bottom line is at sewer level and we know why.

Now we can support Rush by letting ESPN know how we feel about their getting wobbly or we can sit back in silence.

Just in; Tom Daschle and Hillary Clinton calling for an Independent Counsel to investigate Rush Limbaugh. Claims the Justice Dept, under John Ashcroft, would be like the fox protecting the hen coop. (/humor)
