1. The players are using the anthem/flag to protest Trump among other things...

3. Some people are protesting the players disrespecting the anthem/country
4. ESPN's own announcers are wanting people to boycott their sponsors
5. Rev Al wants people to boycott ESPN (a liberal network) for punishing #4

Everyone is boycotting and protesting each other.

Good times.
If we could just get Trump to tweet in favor of living on the dole, driving slow in the fast lane, and eating at McDonald's five times a week.

Thats not true. It happened while the lockout was going on

because support by former players to keep the lockouts going hurt the bottom line.

Another reason why Hill telling people to boycott the NFL severely hurts ESPN's bottom line. That being said, endorsements and lockout are not directly correlated. All of those players can still do promotional work during a lockout.
But now that promo work is worthless for how they were going to use it.

Then your claim cannot be taken seriously. You can't say there were plenty, and then not even provide one name.
Im so sorry that I cant remember who specifically out of 300 on air personality supported what side in a dispute that happened 5+ years ago.

I like sports, but im not such a big fan that a dedicate memory to that subject.

Which is worse, a couple of people boycotting, or no games at all ????
I get it you like her cause she is hot.

But why would there be no games at all? That is not going to happen

You are clueless no point in explaining the obvious.

Umm, no one mentioned her being hot except you.

My argument is about the actual lockouts that happened which meant there were less games those years than usual.

The only one who is clueless here is you. If you are going to respond to a string of post, please look at all the content in that string.

Well I assumed you must have some attraction to her because I have watched her ESPN show and she is horrible. If you are defending her because of her looks good for you.

I responded to what you said. Sorry I don't have time to read the endless posts you made, you have a lot of free time apparently.

She deserved to pay a price for what she said, Can you at least admit that?

And with all that supposed "experience," she doesn't know any better than to sabotage her own network by calling for a boycott of its advertisers? Sorry, but that's pretty stupid. And incompetent. ESPN should fire her.

So it's not about how well you do anymore? Plenty of people have been a business for 20 years and aren't very good.

The individual I responded to simply defined her as not being a legitimate sports reporter.

I took that to mean she wasnt qualified for the job rather than his personal opinion on how well she does it.

Im assuming you either didnt read that person's post , or you disagree with my premise.

It's about being good at your job. If one is no good they are not "legitimate". Someone who has been in the same field for 20 years doesn't necessarily mean they are good at their job. That person could actually get good ratings, which is what matters, and still not be considered good at that job.

She's nothing more than a filthy race card player. Fits right in with too many on the ethically and morally bankrupt left. Not that the rights polices are any better but they don't deflect and falsely play the race card likethat low life scumbag did.

I get it that you settle for mediocre. You've proven that time and time again with your support of failures.
