I disagree that ESPN is obsessed with politics. For instance, take Women's Soccer.
Back in 2014 Women's World Cup, did they promote that Rapinoe is LGBTQ? Or go on-and-on about Hope Solo's domestic violence history?
No, they didn't. They just covered the sport, as it is. Left the off-the-field stuff well, off the-field to stay there.
Only unhinged right-wing whackjobs think they are biased and carry a cultural agenda.
No kidding. Conservatives invent reasons to be scared and offended. Now they are whining and trembling about Burger King. Next week it will be aimed somewhere else.
I watch ESPN all the time. It is sports. When the nation has so many examples of discrimination or powerful figures abusing their power and covering it up, any proper mention or analysis of them is somehow viewed as unfair politics. That tendency has been all over the sports world in recent years, whether it's Baylor or Michigan State or Kaepernick or you name it. Somehow conservatives want to pretend that every network is supposed to look away and we'll simply allow Jeanine Pirro to jump in and make us feel better.
Whenever I read or hear a rant about CNN or ESPN, it is impossible not to break into a huge grin.
