When you discuss stuff on a sports network, it should be sports. You don't talk about politics. Anybody will try anything to discuss the stuff that Trump does. Too bad idiots like Dan Le Batard wouldn't want to discuss what goes on in baseball, college sports for a network like ESPN.
All this involves is that "send her back" message from last week. What does it have to do with sports? Nothing. It would have meaning if a sports star had something to say on the matter, but it wasn't. A couple years ago, there was enough brewing controversy and ratings declines for ESPN. Part of it was their personalities and attempting to appeal to people who wanted more political themed stories involving sports. That's not what makes people watch the network.
You watch ESPN to see stats. You want to catch a glimpse of some highlights and blunders that occur in the sports that are covered. Of course, there's the broadcasts of whatever sport is current and college sports. Le Batard should understand that and with not doing his show today, it may mean his ties with the network are unwinding and could mean an exit from it.You want a political story, go find them on the four or five channels that cover political news. Get the pure politics off of stuff like ESPN. That may be the only way the channel recovers.
