ESPN’s Dan Le Batard did not stick to sports on his radio show Thursday, speaking out against Trump, racism and his network’s “cowardly” policy of avoiding politics.Many of us understand the business of sports that leaders in the industry are charged with protecting. Le Batard is rightly questioning the cost of that protection.
They are becoming instead the daily demand we are chained to, and what was once considered the important issues of the day are now unwanted interruptions. Now that detachment has migrated from “I know something is wrong but I don’t care enough to do something about it” to “I didn’t know something was wrong because I was too busy researching before my fantasy football draft.”
LZGranderson .... don't be naive LAT, calling out someone a racist, today, is an indirect advertising for sport celebrities we didn't know existed
LZGranderson modern leftists inflict their politics into every corner of modern life. art. theatre. education. tv. movies. what you wear, drive, eat, read and buy. music. religion. 100 things. why would sports escape this?
LZGranderson Good to know that ZLGranderson is not watching TV at all because if he does he is just another FullIfBSHypocrite
LZGranderson ❤
LZGranderson Racists chants,lol.
LZGranderson It already is. What do you call Fox Sports?
LZGranderson Thanks. Also please use your influence to implore Americans to read the only 9-page Mueller exec summary at ShareTheLink
LZGranderson Fantasy to Hope for Change Nailedit
LZGranderson Dem propaganda agent LA Times is deaf dumb and blind to the politicizing of Football(Kapoenick) and Soccer(Rapanoe). It's really nice to live in a Democratic one way street world.
LZGranderson Sports has never been divorce of politics/societal change. If anyone thinks so, they missed Jackie Robinson integrating baseball; Ali refusing to enter Army; Tommy Smith/John Carlos black glove protest in 68 Olympics, Jim Brown, Bill Russell, Ali, etc., on racial equality in 60s.

LZGranderson So racialism is okay ?
LZGranderson
LZGranderson Yes. Because we have ideologues who think the apocalypse is nigh. It’s a doomsday cult that infects everything. You guys are worse than born again evangelicals.
LZGranderson I’m thinking now ‘s really not the time to be “avoiding”, nothing less than our society is in danger right now, so...
LZGranderson Sports has always been political. Good for Dan Le Batard. It's time for everyone to decide what they want this country to be. Inhumane or humane. Democracy or demagoguery. Compassionate or cruel. Choose wisely.
LZGranderson Well in reality maybe one reason we’ve screwed ourselves so badly politically is people care more about NFL, MLB, NBA, and betting on games than they do about how badly the government is dividing US. Pro sports people. Really?
LZGranderson It’s also apparent Church isn’t either.
LZGranderson
Oh well, kind of important shit going on, not really the time to avoid reality.
LZGranderson What racist chants?
