ESPN is super PC.

Remember Jeremy Linn? When an ESPN commentator simply called a player flaw a “chink in his armor”, the reporter lost his job.

For ESPN, it takes but one offended party to complain, and they jump like a clown being shot at at near their feet.

WE are the ones who should be ashamed. These corporations are saying they do NOT stand against the rape and murder of women, and we allow them to turn the world on its head and survive.

There was a time when this perverse behavior would have led to these companies being torn down to nothing overnight.

And we can still do that if we wise up as a nation.

Illegal immigration by definition is a negative. Why are we letting anyone defend it?

I don't have cable nor does my mom. My mom would like to see the British Open because she enjoys looking at the course.

In the past big events were considered so universal that it was a basic assumption that they would only be covered by general broadcasters.

Not anymore. The highest bidder gets to decide who gets to see what. This will eventually even be the case for the Super Bowl and probably most NASCAR events.

So if you want to watch any big sports event then you will have to watch it through some corporate entity that will require you to pay a fee and/or be subjected to the latest PC gobbledygook during timeouts.

P.S.: And I know there are people that only need the Bible and their aging VHS tape of "The Sound of Music" to enlighten and entertain themselves. But some of us need a little more variety.

I never purchased cable. I now no longer even watch TV over the airwaves because I don't have a TV. I even recently stopped my Netflix.

Good news is none of my money is going to ABCNBCCBSESPN...

Bad news is I'm running out of "Russian Dashboard" and "Crazy Cat" videos on YouTube.

It’s going to be fun watching all the traitors squeal in terror when President Trump takes office.

If your graphic is true, why haven’t people strung them up yet? That’s horrific, those numbers are astounding. As a father of three young ones, this hits very close to home.

5000 since just January 2014!? (Per day that is an even more incredible number!) I hope the folks in NC are up in arms big time. This sort of thing is pure liberal fueled insanity!

People should be up in arms all over the country, given the events of late.

The left just doubles down as usual and nothing is done.

ESPN is so far PC Left that all the golf balls hit in their tournament must go to the Left side of the Red, er Green.

Time for some pro-American golf pros to ask Trump to sponsor a major charity event at his golf course, and then raise tons of money on a golf course lined with American (Not Mexican) Flags.

A picture would be worth a million words and would be a great way to tell ESPN and the Left to go “Sandra Fluke yourselves”.

TO # 18 Great observation. Flush the leftist and PC freaks from the bushes (Bushes) and see who they are. Make better targets for economic and political/media retaliation.

ONYX: Please source this statement. It is very important esp to parents of young children.

This could be another knife to the gut of the PC Sanctuary illegals are good for the US crowd.

Do not let the young woman who was murdered on the Pier in San Franscisco or the wife who was hammered to death by her illegal Mexican husband, have died in vain.

I haven’t watched it since the 80s.

I, too, watch it very little. They've helped create not only the hip-hop culture, but have brought the hip-hop thuggery to the NBA and the NFL.

ESPN? They’re still around? I can’t think of a single time in the past 15 years I have watched them.
