Why can't ESPN learn that as their own purposeful intrusion of politics into sportscasting rises, their ratings fall? Hey, ESPN, it's an INVERSE relationship!

Imagine the uproar if they took down the statue of Rocky Balboa and replaced it with one of Colin Kaepernick.

In the proud tradition of America's great leaders, from George Washington -- please, don't take his statue down, please. Please. Does anybody want George Washington's statue? No. Is that sad? Is that all (ph) sad? To Lincoln, to Teddy Roosevelt, I see they want to take Teddy Roosevelt's down, too. They're trying to figure out why. They don't know. They're trying to take away our culture. They are trying to take away our history.
And our weak leaders, they do it overnight. These things have been there for 150 years, for 100 years. You go back to a university, and it's gone. Weak, weak people.Let's cut the crap. The monuments being removed that Trump calls "our culture" are monuments to state-sponsored racism and White supremacy. That's a part of America's culture to be ashamed of instead of celebrated. Nobody should cry for their removal. Nobody but a bigot. And here's proof.
Challenge accepted. Mr. Sutton you are a racist old fuck and I sincerely wish you a brief moment of enlightenment that the guys on the farm you call "workers" were in fact "slaves" because workers get paid and workers can quit and workers can go home and slaves can do NONE of those things. I also sincerely wish that brief moment of enlightenment comes right before the light goes out for you forever.

Obviously, the White House must be razed and then resurrected strictly by paid labor... and voluntary donations.

Apparently, its not just monuments that need to be cleansed, but also names in general: To be fair, Robert Byrd was still allowed to ref the Mayweather/McGregor fight.

I'm not following, Don. Are you not liking these changes? Did you read that last piece I linked to? It appears to be the case that these street names were changed to honor Confederate generals specifically as a means of "sticking it" to the local black community. That's just wrong. These street names should have been changed decades ago. It reminds me of the French hamlet, " Death to Jews."
