Like him or not, I 100% agree with his take on the Curt Schilling fiasco...
"...Further, ESPN has a long and varied history of employees making political statements. Frequently these statements are liberal in nature. Indeed, has any ESPN employee ever been fired for making a statement that was too liberal? I can't think of any. That's because ESPN is a liberal corporation. They've made a clear decision to promote Michael Sam as a gay athlete playing football and Caitlyn Jenner as a famous athlete becoming a woman. Their promotion equals an endorsement of that political viewpoint.
That's fine, but if the corporation can have a political opinion, isn't it hard to argue that individual employees can't have their own opinions outside of the time they appear on ESPN's airwaves? Essentially what ESPN is saying is that it's fine if you have a political opinion, but it better be the same as ours.
That's what totalitarian governments do. "
