wait, ESPN refuses to get into politics? since when? lol
They've issued memo's internally since the new prez took over. The only reason why I know this is because I listen to sports media pods and it's been discussed a lot. The issue is when their main talents talk politics it puts them in a bind...aka Le Batard
Their policy now is not to talk politics
Ah okay, I see this now. I was about to say, part of the reason I stopped watching ESPN is because it was getting too political.
