Again, since reading comprehension is not your strength, I will type it again.
You obviously are an ignorant fool when it comes to the programming ESPN once had and have since gotten rid of.
If it's so obvious, provide some examples. This shouldn't be that hard since you post 800 times a day.
It’s kind of a rare thing that happens here, but you actually changed my mind. I was complaining about Dickie V doing the MSU game last week. I mean, he has lost his fastball for sure, but he gave me a lot of joy growing up, and he changed the game as far as announcing goes. The younger generation isn’t going to appreciate him as much, which would make me a total dick if I turned on him now.
again, dummy, i provided a link to 100's of articles for you to read.
but then again, reading comprehension is obviously not your strength
You googled "ESPN politics." That's like anti-vaxxers conducting their online research.
Provide some examples of them pushing a far left political agenda, please. This shouldn't be that hard.
Read the articles in the link, please. This shouldn't be that hard. But for dummies, I guess it is.
Are you guys really debating ESPN politics? ESPNs politics begin and end with $$$, and they will act accordingly.
some day you'll make someone a great parent....a mobil mind is not a sign of weakness.....
ES PN is no more "political" than any corporation trying to remain profitable and relevent in today's business world.
Fran.....Bob Dylan warned you of this 60 yeats ago...."the times, they are a changin'"........whether you are on board or not.
phuque'm......the fact is I am a "boomer"...and they are still tryin' to figure out just what the hell they wanna be.....
When you are the best it matters less. What kind of makes me laugh is that this is like My 3 Sons Robbie Douglass saying 'why heck' in 1962 compared to Knight. Could RMK even keep a job 5 minutes in today's landscape?
Testify. Same with me.
For all the sports filler shows I watch Fox when I'm in the mood for them. And usually it's just to watch Rachel Bonetta.
Anyone else seeing the irony of complaining about ESPN needing to stick to sports and then defending Dakich when he is being investigated for not sticking to sports and being a buffoon?
Ummm.....I guess you can put me in the "strange, strange" category. In fact, put me down for a couple more "strange" marks because they are absolutely political now.
I wouldn't call it "far, far left", but it is without question nowhere near "center". Hey, it's their business and they're obviously free to operate it, hire, and fire who they want in accordance with their business plan. Just don't be shocked when those of us who don't want to hear it when we tune in for a game or highlights or whatever, stop tuning in.
Dakich was simply defending his stance regarding Duke. For ESPN to elevate what he said to jeopardize his career is insane. He is being railroaded b/c some liberal female professer accused him of verbal rape when he commented she needed to stop bitching.
Dackich is far from the best but that really isn’t the point. As far as RMK keeping a job for 5 minutes in the modern world, the answer is absolutely not and that’s a good thing. Thankfully societal norms changed over the years to the point that misogyny, intimidation, physical and psychological abuse are not tolerated in athletics at any level. RMK may have been a hall of fame coach but he was also a hall of fame asshole, bully and abuser that likely harmed as many players as he helped.
I think it was a culmination of all the things said over the years and this may have been the final straw. I hate the political leaning ways of ESPN (not for their agenda, just for pushing politics and sports), but a company needs to be careful who represents them.
Bob Iger thought so
I thought ESPN finally had grasped as much when Iger hired Pitaro to replace John Skipper, who’d become more a ‘60s hippie than a sports network president. Not long ago, in the fall of 2018, Iger communicated a sea change from his perch as Disney chief executive when he told the Hollywood Reporter: “There’s been a big debate about whether ESPN should be focused more on what happens on the field of sport than what happens in terms of where sports is societally or politically. And Jimmy felt that the pendulum may have swung a little bit too far away from the field. And I happen to believe he was right.”
Convenient you are omitting some of Dakich's comments. He said more than she needed to stop bitching.
College professor: ESPN’s Dan Dakich ‘violated’ me with his words
A professor at Ursinus College in Pennsylvania says she felt “violated” by ESPN college basketball analyst and radio host Dan Dakich after he used the word “bitching” and made what she called a “se…

"The 58-year-old Dakich on his WFNI The Fan radio show said, “I just said bitching because it’s what people do. It’s what everybody does, everybody just bitches. But that’s sexist apparently because I said bitching and a lady was in the conversation.
"And then she wanted to, quote, go at in the pool. Well, if you go at it in a pool, that’s a public place and then I’m gonna have to get divorced, and then it’s just gonna be a problem.”“
That is a classic left argument. You minimize by impugning someone who you disagree with by calling that person a name(strange).🧐 So the people who agree with the post are also strange. 😞open your closed eyes and pay attention and you might learn something from Fran!
In an everyday conversation that seems like a comment that gets no attention. When you have a huge company attached to your success and name..... that is when social media becomes an issue. It is not about you is a good phrase for a lot of people to remember.Convenient you are omitting some of Dakich's comments. He said more than she needed to stop bitching.

Most everyday conversations aren't carried out on a sports radio talk show in decent sized media market.
Dakich most likely didn't know she was a swimmer and that she wanted a race. Clearly his response is out of context with her inferred/Implied meaning but to slant his response as verbal rape is a stretch. Go at it can be a lot of things. She should have been more clear. This an issue of a conversation lost in translation and hardly was taken to the level of sexual harrasment. Dakich could just as easily make the case she sexual harrassed him. It should not be a career ending issue at all.
It all started with me watching PTI. All of a sudden they got political then attacked Woodbury unfairly and promoted harm on him. Then of course racism was seen in places where IMO were fabricated. Now you have BLM support which is a communist organization. I’ve been done watching them for some time.
He responded to what he believed to be sexual innuendo. He didn't make it sexual because he already felt harrassed by his response. She should have been clear in her inferrence. Sexual harrasment includes inferred and implied meaning
You think she is at fault here? for saying go at in in a pool, and she is a swimmer.......
