    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.
