I was reminded again over the weekend why they are tanking.

I was watching the D-II College Football Playoff from Kansas City. Texas A&M-Commerce had a kicker who was an illegal alien. He had been allowed to enroll in college and accept a scholarship due to DACA. Without mentioning Trump by name they spent an entire quarter talking about how DACA was endangered and what might happen as a result to this talented player and fine student.

I do not doubt for a minute that this fellow is a good student and a fine human being, loved by his teammates and peers. The fact remains that he is here ILLEGALLY!

The fact that I could not even get through a lower-level college football game without having ESPN inject politics and cause my blood pressure to spike reminded me why I’ve largely tuned them out.

Harassment accusations coming-

Correct. In fact, there's been a number or huge stories last week about widespread sexual harassment at ESPN, something that Skipper did not do to stop.

There MUST be a lot more involved here, e.g., pending serious accusations against him, etc.


Yep. He’s getting ready to blame his intern butt grabbing on “substance abuse.”

I wonder how many people turned off the game when the commentators kept it going. People are really getting tired of the constant politics.

If it wasn’t for the DACA “human interest” story, they would have found a player who’s mama was being treated for cancer with 9 other kids at home, none of whom share the same last name. Didja ever notice those stories never include a father in the picture????

"I have struggled for many years with a substance addiction.

Is this a preemptive play against rape charges? Are there any liberal 'elites' who don't rape and abuse women?

Blaming his decision to turn a sports network into a left wing, social justice garbage network on the booze...

OR he's been outed as a rapist and the booze is an excuse for ALL his failures.

Yeah I did notice. Gotta love those human interest stories that have nothing to do with the game.

So many choices as to what really happened:

(1)Substance addiction
(2)Harassed and/or raped women
(3)Harassed and/or raped men
(4)Led leftist propaganda team--while tanking network ratings
(5)Insider trading--dumped tanking stock
(6)Raped children and got caught
(7)All of the above

Are there any people in ESPN who aren’t perverts or junkies?
