I think ESPN must've carried out a survey that said fans want more opinionated, loudmouth, blowhards talking about issues not only about sports themselves... but everything that surrounds sports. Hence we have the Olbermanns and the Stephen A. Smiths. The same survey must've said most fans want frustrated standup comedians as their SportsCenter sportscasters. Hence we have Neil Everett and the other joker that sits across from him. (I hate that smug, stupid face Neil has on the show half the time).

I guess where it used to be ESPN, now it's more like ESPN.

Olbermann has the right to express his opinion and take any moral stance he wants, just like anyone else. Unfortunately for him, his "boycott" plea is going to be about as effective as throwing a pool noodle under the wheel of a charging mack truck.

I agree. My and most people's problem with Olbermann is that he picks this fight to start running his mouth. He's right, he'll get more attention bringing up Floyd's misogynistic ways at this time, but where was he for Floyd's other fights. If he feels so strongly about it why doesn't he talk about it a couple of times a month? As far as I know, Floyd has served his sentence and doesn't have a domestic abuse case against him now.
Here's the thing that irks me the most about people like Olbermann, you can't get mad at them, you can't write to them, you can't write to their boss, you can't write to their network. If you do, it makes the attention hungry turds happy, they will say to their boss or the network, see I'm getting people to talk about this problem.
It doesn't matter how you say it, they will make you look like you are defending domestic abuse. I think he gets his kicks by pissing people off.

Yes Al Bernstein says as much in his book. He is not a fan of the theatrics and fake arguments of ESPN sportscasters.

Sports journalists are the dumbest most self important fuckwits on this planet. They are all incredibly biased, they are all card carrying commies, they are just horrible and that sad thing about them is they never fucking played the games they comment on.

Please Skip Bayliss, please tell me how to run a pick and roll.....you know, because you've done it all your life on the NBA level. Please Stephen A. Smith yell at Tim Tebow because he played QB for Denver helped them to the playoffs and won a playoff game because YOU know first hand what it's like to be a QB in the NFL.

And Colin Cowherd...FUCK THAT DOUCHEBAG! ESPN used to employ Jim Rome for fucks sake!!!! Jim Rome is a gigantic tool!!!

I find boxing a lot worse than most other sports. I always feel these guys never could make it in a bigger sport like soccer, NFL or NBA etc and just get away with boxing by throwing around boxing phrases and criticising fighters

"Id like to say one thing to Keith Olbermann."

"You will never be me."

"Now, open your mouth and say Ahh."

He should call for a boycott of HBO sports because Jim Lampley is a woman beater.

You don't know what Manny has done.

Arum hid rape allegations against Oscar from the public....lord only knows what he's hiding about Pactrash....or what he's holding over his empty head.

You'd think they'd be pics of all these injured women Floyd punched.

Maybe,

Keith Olbermann should call for a ban on watching 'ESPN'.

As one their Top Executives was arrested 'twice' for Domestic Violence.
