Whoever is sitting on a sports network executive board and believes they can turn the sacred sanctity of sports escapism into some Jerry Springer reality show is a complete fool. Whoever thinks they can turn a sports show into a CNN political debate show doesn't understand the reasons for their viewers tuning in. Do I go to CNN or MSNBC to get my sports information? If not, why would anyone think that the opposite would be true?
They always turn the cameras away from the field when some clown runs onto the field, because they "don't want to give that idiot coverage", but kneeling and insulting the flag, calling the president insulting names is something that embraced and accepted. You don't gain viewers by insulting ANYONES politics. So as a sports station, don't wade into it, and demand that their employees who do, will be unemployed.
