It’s always going to be Boston. Doesn’t matter the sport or the year or how good or bad the team was the previous year. Boston fans will be the most aggrieved.

The fact of the matter is they just see it as a game. Their wealth and power will insulate them from republican barbarism and they will never feel the brunt of McConnell’s inhuman policies. Only the little people suffer and we are expected to bear it until “next time”.

The 3 hour national radio show is apparently the most listened to sports radio show in the country

I agree with your sentiment, but I would say “Denouncing racism and bigotry unequivocally ≠ talking about politics = good whether anyone calls it politics or not”.

He’s probably one of their biggest radio personalities. From Awful Announcing last summer:

Denouncing racism and bigotry unequivocally ≠ talking about politics

If you think Dead Letters are bad just imagine Le Batard’s inbox right now.

More solar power.

take his gun away.

“what does it say if most white people are killed by other white people? I don’t know where to look that statistic up, but assuming it’s true, shouldn’t we then fix the problems in our culture/communities as well?”

She’s the typical “I’m just saying.....” conservative racist. “I’m just asking questions”, like it’s not racist at all but rather just opening up lines of academic inquiry. For someone who purports to be studying political science, she’s smart enough to play that little game and get all the fellow MAGAts to believe…

I’m still trying to wrap my mind around that proud recognition that black people kill more black people than the police do as I don’t even know what the point there is supposed to be. Especially considering that it is comparing a group of people to a profession that is supposed to be protecting the community. There’s…

The first rule of ESPN Fight Club, apparently.

What Pitaro and others of his ilk meant to say is not to talk politics he and said ilkers don’t agree with. Haven’t seen Sage Steele get reprimanded or suspended when she went on her diatribe last year.

The reminder went out Friday to all employees, including Le Batard, according to an ESPN employee who spoke on condition of anonymity Saturday because the person was not authorized to speak publicly about personnel matters.

Le Batard did miss the first hour of the national show on Friday.  It was almost certainly because he was talking with suits.  But he definitely knew that, if they had suspended him, it would have only proven his point. 

If Obama talked to Kanye and Kim.... and asked for a rapper to be free’d, one that talks about freely killing others, robbing them and doing drugs. And then goes on the World stage using his position as president.....there would be bibles up in the air. His ignorantly stupid base will support him. Birds of a feather.

I don’t want to make a thing of this but I think, down here in the comments section, there’s a difference between “I’m willing to make a joke about this” and “I don’t think this is a serious thing”. There are lots of things that are serious and terrifying in the world that people joke about to help cope with the stark…

He’s not a big fan... just a fan. He’ll do it if he absolutely needs to, but he’d rather just write about baseball.

There’s always a tweet.
