dpberr Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 This network is a spilled printer toner disaster.

KDIGGZ Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 So ESPN stands by somebody critical of Trump but fired Hank Williams for criticising Obama word is that Disney ceo Bob Iger wants to eventually run for president and in the meantime is pushing his liberal agenda on all of his networks. my wife watches the View on abc and i just have to laugh because the show exists to empower women and to give them a voice but then they set women back 100 years with how stupid they sound. hearing how ignorant and uninmformed these ladies are makes me second guess whether we should still allow women to vote. Susan B Anthony is probably rolling over in her grave. i say that in jest because i know there are extremely intelligent women out there, much more so than myself, but they certainly do not exist on that show and if i was a femanist i would demand they cancel it immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Guy Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I read an opinion piece in my local rag by the "sports editor" who often comments on a lot of things non-sporting. In my opinion, he's one of those I'm smarter than any of you kind of guys. He was ranting this morning because in his mind, ESPN tried to fire her for doing her job. What? Here's what I don't get, she is a supposed "sports journalist", stick to sports, why does everyone have to drag up politics? Would there be outrage if some "sports journalist" came out in support of white supremacists? Of course! Would they get fired? Of course! These "sports journalists" need to just stick to sports.

apuszczalowski Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 So ESPN stands by somebody critical of Trump but fired Hank Williams for criticising Obamaare they standing by her by attempting to remove her from the show? From my understanding the only reason she wasn't taken off was because the other host refused to do the show with anyone else..... It's funny how a country that's so proud of their "right to free speech" get so offended when that right is used but what's said goes against their beliefs This happens with both sides of the political scale you fall under or races. Look at home many 'celebrities' get into trouble cause they say something that's considered offensive but we'll within their right to say because of free speech. And now for the next 3+ years we will continue to hear "Well if this was said about Obama....." to anything said bad against Trump. The only difference seems to be that the BAD things said against Obama where based because of his skin color, or the belief he wasn't 'American', where the bad things said about trump are based off of his actions and what he says/tweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) I personally think this Jemele Hill's is exit strategy. She'll get released from ESPN for whatever creative differences, then she can go to a network show, probably "The View", and then she can talk about how she is a victim because of how horribly she was treated at ESPN, and then make gross, deceitful and baseless accusations against President Trump all she wants, and she won't get in trouble for it, and they will treat her as if she were some sort of hero. This is all speculation on my part, but this wouldn't surprise me if it turned out this way. Edited September 15, 2017 by Mark Vader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin in Va Beach Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I could give a **** about what she said. I didn't watch her before and I won't watch her now. It's the double standard by ESPN/Disney that frosts me. They've fired/suspended other people who said much less worse things than this. The ratings for SC6 I understand continue downward but since ESPN uses that show as a sort of virtue signaling they are safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's a spelling error, or a typo, why not go fix it so you're effectively communicating. Or do you come from an age group that's lazy and blames everyone else for your own errors? edit: there you go. Now that that's behind us, do you have anything else to contribute?
