Likewise, if some tv news anchor went on a rant about how evil roger goodell is, I wouldn't care as much. Just being in the media doesn't preclude them from having opinions. As long as those opinions aren't getting in the way of their objectivity.

Now, if trump bats .500 and she calls him a racist, then I'd see more of a problem.

This isnt really about what she said, but how a mega media outlet has double standards like they apparently do. Schilling's opinion's on transgenders on Facebook didn't interfere with his objectivity in calling baseball games on tv. But he got fired for it. Linda Cohn, a long time ESPN personality for decades now, supposedly got briefly suspended few months ago because she basically said ESPN has gotten too political. 

All in all, I am finally seeing what many others are, and that is that I am about done with ESPN unless I have no other choice in watching a game they have on.
