One would think that after ESPN suffered rating declines due to its hosts making controversial political remarks, the sports enthusiast network would have learned a valuable lesson. But apparently the chickens are running the hen house over at the sports coverage leader.
Last year, talk show host Jemele Hill went on an anti-Trump tirade that landed her and the network in hot water with fans. Regular viewers tuned out and repeated ESPN policy transgressions landed Hill with a suspension. After returning, the network quietly moved her over to its web presence and now they are paying a hefty buyout to cut ties once and for all.
On this Fox and Friends segment, the trio of hosts look at the backlash aimed at Tiger Woods for maintaining a friendship with Pres. Donald J. Trump. Woods, who is making a solid comeback in the PGA, answered the question politely and openly by saying it’s important to “respect the office” whether you agree or disagree with the person.
Apparently, ESPN commentators are on the loose again and “respect” is not a word in their vocabulary. In fact, ESPN hosts go on the offensive making derogatory statements about Tiger’s beliefs, credibility and even attack his race in a loathsome on-air commentary many might consider slander.
The hate speech perpetuated by ESPN hosts, with impunity, may not sit well with decent Americans. Take a moment to watch this Fox and Friends exclusive and you decide.
