I'm done participating in worthless banter that serves no purpose in this thread.
This is the second time you've said bye.
Nobody believes you this time either.

So are you objecting to the fact that the person on the picture was a "disgusting fat man" or that it said "this shouldn't be allowed"?
What are your thoughts on Disney employing the Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson? Should they be concerned that on "Ballers" he is constantly sleeping around with random woman, popping pain pills, and dropping the f-bomb in every other scene? How do you think that the people that you claim Disney doesn't want to alienate feel about that?
You're either cutting the cord or you aren't and tell me that most dudes 10 years ago or more would be willing to do so if it meant losing ESPN.
And cord-cutting causes every traditional carriage network to lose subscribers.
So why is this much hay being made about ESPN?
Ironically, because of the political agenda of old white men and networks like Fox Sports who want ESPN to fail.
Of course cord cutting has had an impact on ESPN cable viewership, but to deny the possibility that ESPN’s strongly perceived increased political slant has something to do with lost viewership, especially when it comes to its non-sports programming shows, is just not realistic.
How is it that you are not hypocritical to say that Jemele Hill said something on Twitter and not on air so it shouldn't affect my viewing habits. Schilling puts something on Twitter that he didn't discuss on air and your stance is that it was a "disgusting caricature" and that it could potentially alienate some of ESPN or Disney's audience so his firing was justified.
Because they didn't commit the same act.
You now don't seem to even know what hypocrisy means.

I'm saying that your claim that ESPN was hypocritical is not true.
And your understanding of this issue is very remedial.
And that companies like ESPN err on the side of inclusion because they want to draw wide audiences.
And "conservative" opinions are generally more vile and exclusive by nature.
Are you somehow insinuating that both Disney and ESPN should be ok with alienating people with conservative viewpoints?
No, again. You don't even have a surface understanding of this issue.
It isn't a conservative vs. liberal thing.
It's an opinion vs. a vile opinion thing.
Curt Schilling didn't get fired for posting a conservative opinion.
Once you finally come to grips with that then you'll understand the issue. Until then you'll keep getting it wrong.
So, do you consider calling the sitting President of the United States a white supremacist to be an opinion or vile opinion? Just curious to hear the logic behind how you characterize a view.

Lol, says who? You? Get a grip, man.

Again, important point.
ESPN hasn't lost viewership per se.
They've lost subscribers. Just like every other carriage network.
I don't deny any possibility.
I just know that there's as much a political movement against ESPN as there is the existence of one on their network.
If it was even 10% of the subscriber loss I'd b shocked.
The fact that some people are not watching ESPN anymore because of the promulgation and interjection of politics into sports is foreign to him.

Calling the sitting president of the US a white supremacist is a fact that can be fully supported with evidence.

But, judging by this guy's comments, it is clear he leans left, which is fine but don't insist your argument is the only one with any merit or substance to it. There is a bottom line: many people watch sports to escape the world of politics, so when this is no longer possible, people stop tuning in.
Lol, says who? You? Get a grip, man.
Of course me.
Who else would post it under my handle?
This is simple even for political science novices. Heck, even a random observer can understand that conservative opinions are generally more exclusive.
In fact many of the conservatives giving those opinions are proud of that fact.
Seriously, this is news to you?
