This is why sports and social justice should never intertwine.

ESPN has suspended commentator Stephen A. Smith for a week after he made some controversial remarks about domestic violence (that he apologized for yesterday). Here’s the tweet from Sports Illustrated journalist Richard Deitsch announcing the decision:

Liberalism is a mental disease. We wouldn't have these politically correct pansies infesting the earth if it weren't for the crybabies on the liberal left.

Feminazis and the pc police heard only what they wanted to hear. Selective comprehension. I friggin hate that these stupid bullies have so much pull and say in this country. Not once did this man condone violence against women. He just stated common sense. Dont provoke anyone because you have no idea how that person will react. How the hell is that offensive to say?

Just when I think it cant get any worse in this country with PC and feminist bs, it does just that and then some.

It's ok for sports and social justice to intertwine, if the opinion expressed conforms 100% with liberal/left/progressive social justice.

I don't get it either. That Stephen A Smith wasn't fired is ridiculous.

ESPN has become a joke. I used to watch that channel religiously so to say but they have an agenda now and it's not just about sports.

Fired for what? What the hell did he friggin say that deserves a suspension let alone being fired?! This country is going insane! You people are so damn pathetic with your overly sensitive, pc, feminist, bull crap! He DID NOT condone violence. Period. So what the hell did he say that deserves any punishment at all?
