I don't care where on the political spectrum you are, having a President from either party hosting an hour-long gabfest on a channel dedicated to sports - concerning a highly-divisive topic, no less - is completely out of bounds. I tuned in to ESPN a minute ago and thought I'd switched over to MSNBC by mistake. And I instantly thought: if your goal as a struggling network is to alienate as many viewers as possible, this is probably one of the best ways to go about it. Because even many on the left will find this highly inappropriate.
But ESPN long ago stopped noticing how closely their constant stupidity walks hand in hand with their falling ratings and financial troubles.
