He typed “John Bolton” into the search function and found a bunch of pictures of feckless Hawks.

Personally, I think it’s extremely good and not horrifically scary that our country is run by a grotesque cabal of sundowning racist grandpas.

Always great when some dickhead shouts “DURR SPEAK ENGLISH DURRRR,” and then his command of the written english language is hot garbage. 

I was trying to figure if it was an MCU reference I wasn’t getting.

That is probably the most animated I can recall seeing him about anything other than a read.  He really did love the show.

He was obviously rooting for Cersei, since she also screwed a brother.

I just can’t wait for Bran and the King of the North to face off.

It comes down to the change, from what ESPN was to what it became, and the constant interjection of politics into daily ESPN programming.

I also don’t think they should broadcast any games in arenas funded by taxpayer money. Makes it too political, you know?

So Jackie Robinson will never be mentioned again? No NFL highlights in October when all the players wear pink or any of the many holidays where MLB players wear red, white, and blue or camo? Cut away from games when the National Anthem is played? When MLB or the NFL has a work stoppage in a couple of years they will…

Because a lot of the people who provide us this entertainment do not have the ability to escape society’s problems. They also have a very limited window in their lives to take advantage of their platform.

To your point, politics is also pretty annoying when you’re structurally discriminated against as black, latinx,…

So no more political discourse and since keeping politics out of sports is so important to these folks, no more national anthem before games, no more god bless america during the 7th inning stretch, no more military fly overs before football games, no more military reunions, camo-hats or uniforms, or giant american…

Some of the most important sports stories ever are important because of their intersection with politics. How do you tell a politics-free version of the story of Jackie Robinson, or the Munich Olympics?

I mostly watch for the in-depth hockey highlights and analysis.

I think there is a bit of a difference between playing the anthem at the Olympics and before your average sporting event.

Right?  It is probably nearing a decade since I watched anything on ESPN other than live sports with any consistency.  And that includes 30 for 30, which I’ve caught on demand sporadically over the years.

Good. Politics isn’t a topics for sports journalists to talk about because it can alienate their audience and negatively impact them personally.

Not everything does. But sometimes sports and politics (broadly defined) are going to intersect, and locking up when that happens like one of those fainting goats when it is frightened is worthy of derision. 

I was about to answer that I often put it on as background when I’m, say, folding laundry or cooking dinner so I can stay current with sports I don’t follow closely, but then I realized that I don’t actually do that anymore.

I’m sure the people who want to remove politics from sports would welcome getting rid of the national anthem.
