Whitlock: ESPN is Lurching Far Left
I have had a love / hate relationship with Whitlock over the years but he makes some very sound points here. I agree with him 100% that ESPN is purposefully trying to move the political needle in the country and crafting their sports stories to fit a far left agenda ....

Caitlyn Jenner receiving the Arthur Ashe "Courage" Award a couple years ago was icing on the cake for me.

Cool. I'm gonna start watching more ESPN. Maybe Whitlock can get Brietbart to invest in an alternative sports news network.

Re: Whitlock: ESPN is Lurching Far Left
I guess you didn't read it.
Why should sports coverage be political at all? The overwhelming majority of sports consumers watch sports and ESPN as an escape, not to be reminded of politics. ESPN is now paying the price with down revenue and bloated contracts, hence the firing.
I'd no sooner want a liberal ESPN as I'd want a Libertarian Fox Sports or a Brietbart owned sports network.

I think Whitlock is a blowhard in general. This did nothing to dissuade that opinion. He's found his niche though, so good for him.
I mean, "sports teaches conservative values?" Please. The number 1 lesson I learned in playing sports is teamwork, which is just as much a liberal value as a conservative one. If you want the team to succeed, to be the best it can be, you have to be responsible for yourself and help the next teammate be up to speed as much as you can. That's one part libertarian, one part conservative and one part liberal as far as I can see it.

The ESPYs will probably evolve into a participation awards ceremony with no winners or losers.
