Le Bastard has long been an unlistenable blowhard.

Idiot Omar supported a racist man who said to these boys “Go back to Europe” and “You’re being white. That’s all you need to do.”

New Video Exonerates Covington Catholic Students

Here’s how the controversy (the biggest so far of 2019) was described by someone on Twitter:

“A group of students wearing MAGA hats were chanting their high school chant so this man comes over with his drum and walks over to them. He gets in one students face and bangs him drum. It was recorded and has turned into “white students harass Native American banging his drum” when all the kid is did was stand there while this man went looking for trouble. The left has doxxed the student and are calling for him to be expelled. Of course they are sending him very tolerant death threats. That’s the gist of it.”

Notice at 1:39 the students are told “You white people, go back to Europe where you came from.”

2:30 Student asks, “What did we do?” Native American: “You’re being white. That’s all you need to do.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar deletes tweet attacking Covington students, after backlash
Fox News ^ | Jan 23, 2019 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

Freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has apparently deleted an overnight tweet going after Covington Catholic students anew, after facing a social media backlash for her comments.

She wrote: “The boys were protesting a woman’s right to choose & yelled ‘it’s not rape if you enjoy it’ ... They were taunting 5 Black men before they surrounded Phillips and led racist chants ... Sandmann’s family hired a right wing PR firm to write his non-apology.”

You want someone to leave the country? Sit the person down and force him to watch the Dan Le Batard show. After an hour or so the someone will be packing their bags.

It’s too bad he wants to push politics because his program, Highly Questionable, is about the only talking head show on that network I can stomach, precisely because it doesn’t take itself too seriously. None of the phony hipness so prevalent on ESPN either.

I would really like to see this guy’s family tree. I’ll bet he’s nearly as white as I am. He doesn’t look very brown to me, and his family name is not even Spanish.

Ya know, ESPN might get back some of its ratings if they’d stick to sports. Not everything has to be about politics.

LeBatard is a LeRetard when it comes to anything but sports.

If I want journalists (well, dubitable journalists) taking on President Trump for imagined evils, I can watch MSNBC or CNN. LeRetard should think of that...

Seriously, does ANYONE watch Gay ESPN and why?

I do sometimes like to watch Around the Horn, but their recent sycophancy (ass kissing?) of the women's national team and Serena Williams has made it must-miss TV.

Outside of being a leftist scumbag, Leb-retard has the most god-awful sports show I have ever heard in my life. I tried to listen to it a few times and gave up. He and his douchebag cohorts try to be funny but come up as nothing more than boring, pompous windbags.

When ESPN became an extension of CNN/MSNBC I stopped watching and listening. Based on their viewership decline, I’m not alone.

Trump attracts more people to his rallies, than NFL teams may get to the games. Keep politics out of sports. Sports should be entertainment.

Keep mouthing off, if you want viewers to quit watching forever. These people cannot stay out of politics. Who cares about someone who plays sports views about politics?

Only a racist sees this as racist. The color of her skin is immaterial from the rot in her brain.

Isn’t ESPN supposed to be the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network... The P is not for Politics. Bill Rasmussen is spinning in his grave. I remember when ESPN was in a trailer in Bristol...
