I basically said that I was shocked and could not believe that ESPN would tolerate a sportscaster advocating targeting another player for violence and injury. I mentioned the whole "wrap arms while tackling so Burrow can't protect his head" bit, and as much else as I could remember... the "red dot" and mentioning "killers" on Ravens, etc.
I tried to remain as calm and sincere as possible, while still sounding extremely pissed off.
I doubt anything will come of it, but at least I was able to vent.
i lodged my complaint at that number as well and spoke with a live agent. I basically read what was posted on si.com (below) and how horrendous that ESPN, through their analyst Scott, is calling for hurting a quarterback, one who was already seriously injured.
This is what SI.com posted;
"You won a lifetime career of ass kicking from the Baltimore Ravens," Scott said on Thursday morning. "Zac Taylor you're involved in this too. You wanna sit up here and run the score up. You won't get the benefit of the doubt. It's called red dot. Every Raven and former Raven understands what the red dot means. You can be swagged out, you're not no tough guys. You will not get the benefit of the doubt. I guarantee you he will not last long in this division. They're gonna make sure they become head hunters whenever they go against him. He gonna get the rib shot, he gonna get the neck shot, he gonna get the tackle his arms, make his head bounce off the ground shot, he gettin all that.
"They still got killas and Cincinnati, they got nice athletes, but they ain't got no killas over there."
