Mother of US hero angry Prince Harry got her son's award: "I am shocked"

Medals L-R: for holding in flatulence; for learning to fly; 
for marrying Meghan Markle; for being born in royalty. The
silver cross is for the loss of his testicles from said marriage

Pat Tillman was an NFL safety who joined the Army Rangers after the September 11, 2001 attack. He put his football career on the back-burner and risked his life for his country. Sadly, he was killed in a firefight, and it is believed it came from friendly fire. But that's irrelevant--it was his bravery and sacrifice that matters.

ESPN, the far-left sports network, has decided to honor Prince Harry with the Pat Tillman Award because a) he isn't American; b) he isn't heroic; and c) conservatives tend to think of him as a castrated schmuck. This is what happens when a sports network gets involved in politics and forgets that their viewers watch them for sports.

Mary Tillman, Pat's mother, said she was never consulted by the far-left network to give the Duke of Sussex the American award named after her son. 

“I am shocked as to why they would select such a controversial and divisive individual to receive the award,” Mary told the Daily Mail. 

 
“There are recipients that are far more fitting,” she added. “There are individuals working in the veteran community that are doing tremendous things to assist veterans.” The only thing that Harry does is Meghan's bidding. 

She added that Harry is already famous and has received numerous awards in his life, so ESPN should have chosen someone else who’s never been in the spotlight [and has actually done some good for others].

The Pat Tillman Award has often been given to unsung heroes, with last year’s recipient being the Buffalo Bills training staff who revived a player who had suffered a cardiac arrest in the middle of a game. Harry has never revived anyone.

Mary said she was confused as to why ESPN would choose such a polarizing figure [who is married to an even more polarizing B actress]. 

Mary’s condemnation was echoed by ESPN analysts Pat McAfee, who accused his own network on Friday of "trying to piss people off" by selecting Harry for the award.

“It’s going to Prince Harry,” McAfee said on his talk show, “who I don’t even think is a Prince anymore, right? He said don’t call me that? See, why does the ESPYs do this s–t?

“This is like actually the most embarrassing thing I’ve seen in my entire life,” he added.

In picking Harry and others to receive honors during the upcoming ESPY Awards (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly), Kate Jackson, VP, Production at ESPN, touted the recipients as those who have changed the world.

“These honorees have used their platforms to change the world and make it more inclusive for marginalized and suffering communities, demonstrating incredible resilience, positivity and perseverance, and we’re thrilled to celebrate them at the 2024 ESPYs,” Jackson said.

Tillman, a former safety for the Arizona Cardinals, served in Iraq and then Afghanistan before he was killed by friendly fire in 2004, with the soldier posthumously awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart for his service.

Man of black privilege says Tim Tebow's NFL return is 'white privilege'

Black person of privilege and ESPN host of "First Take" Stephen A. Smith, doesn't like the fact that former Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Tim Tebow may be returning to the NFL as a 33-year-old White man and Colin Kaepernick is not. It isn't as if Kaepernick wasn't given the special opportunity to try out for a team--he just bailed on the chance and sold shoes instead while kneeling for our national anthem.

He also sucked as a quarterback and nobody wanted his controversial garbage on their team.
 

Tebow, on the other hand, is a devout Christian who believes men are men and women are women, abortion is murder and Jesus is King.

Like Michael Jordan's brief stint in baseball, Tebow signed on with the New York Mets' minor league team and was as good at baseball as a goldfish is with frisbee. So he decided to give football another go and will play as a tight end--a position he's never played--and he has now signed a one-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars and for one thing, since he played his college football in Florida, he should be a huge draw for the team and an inspiration in the locker room where Colin Kaepernick was more of a bummer.

On Thursday's episode of "First Take, Smith admitted he "had a problem" with the team's decision to sign a White guy as tight end, and failed to consider the Florida fan-base he would bring in as well as his positive attitude, in spite of being a White man of no color.

"I’m happy for him, meaning Tim Tebow specifically, but when you look at the totality of the situation, If I'm gonna bring up white privilege when I brought up Steve Nash getting the job in Brooklyn, is this not an example of white privilege?" Smith said. "What brother you know is getting this opportunity?" the Black host who got an incredible opportunity that must have been denied to other White job seekers.

If this sounds like me being a white supremacist, I am not. I am also not a champion of any race being better than any other. I despise white supremacists because they are evil, hateful asshats who would attack me and my wife because we're an interracial couple. 

So Smith can go to hell for his racist sentiments. It's disgusting and now I know how it feels to be on the receiving end of racist hatred as a White man. A lot of us do now in America thanks to the Left.

 like so many other Black women before me, having to call your attention to this problem.”

Lightfoot went further, taking to Twitter early Thursday morning to defend her policy in a series of posts.

“I ran to break up the status quo that was failing so many,” Lightfoot tweeted. “That isn’t just in City Hall. It’s a shame that in 2021, the City Hall press corps is overwhelmingly White in a city where more than half of the city identifies as Black, Latino, AAPI, or Native American.”

“Diversity and inclusion is imperative across all institutions including media. In order to progress we must change,” she continued. “This is exactly why I’m being intentional about prioritizing media requests from POC reporters on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of my inauguration as mayor of this great city.”

Critics blasted Lightfoot’s decision from all sides Wednesday. Beyond the journalists who noted that they were shut out by the policy limiting interviews, Lightfoot faced criticism from a Latino news organization, which refused to interview the mayor after she refused to lift the moratorium on white journalists, per Fox News.

She also faced blowback on Twitter, where racial justice advocates suggested that Lightfoot was likely using the policy to distract from her inability to handle questions of violence. “Lori Lightfoot presided over an enormous increase in homicides, almost all of them in African American or Latino communities, and she’s hoping these PR stunts get liberal America to give her a pass for failing to save people’s lives,” journalist Zaid Jilani pointed out.

Indeed, on the same day that the mayor’s office announced the policy favoring “black and brown” reporters, Lightfoot aides announced that “a compromise plan to make past police disciplinary records available to the public,” essentially turning down a request from Chicago’s racial justice activists to expand police transparency.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Determines Who Interviews Her Based On Race, Local Reporters Claim

Local media reporters in Chicago are alleging that Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is selecting who gets to do one-on-one interviews with her based on the race of the interviewer.

NBC 5 political reporter Mary Ann Ahern made the initial allegation on Twitter, writing: “As ⁦ @chicagosmayor ⁩ reaches her two year midway point as mayor, her spokeswoman says Lightfoot is granting 1 on 1 interviews – only to Black or Brown journalists.”

Chicago PBS news anchor Paris Schultz responded: “I was told the same thing.”


I was told the same thing.

Chicago PBS political reporter said that she could “confirm” what Ahern was alleging.


I can confirm, alderman

Lightfoot’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire or Fox News.

Australian political commentator Rita Panahi responded to the allegations by writing on Twitter: “More ‘anti-racist’ racism. Almost amusing how regressive race-obsession is celebrated among the Left.”

“Racism in the name of wokeism is still racism,” another commentator said. Another added, “So wouldn’t that make her a racist?”

Progressive writer Zaid Jilani wrote: “Is she going to do some kinda DNA test to assure she upholds this rule?”

“It is unclear when such a practice was enacted and if it only applies to local reporters, particularly after her MSNBC appearance with Stephanie Ruhle on Monday,” Fox News reported. “During her MSNBC interview, Lightfoot told Ruhle she would ‘encourage’ Chicago residents to continue wearing masks despite the new CDC guidance allowing those with the coronavirus vaccine to go without them.”

“I know for me personally, I’m going to continue to wear a mask in public and I’m going to encourage others to do so,” Lightfoot told Ruhle. “We’ve got to make sure that people are continuing to follow the public health guidance that has gotten us this far, and masks, I think, are a big and important part of that.”

Lightfoot said on Tuesday afternoon that her decision to continue to encourage people to wear masks was not based on distrust of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“But I think their guidance last week regarding masks has people confused…We need clarification,” Lightfoot said. “We still have a long way to go to hit the critical mass (of vaccinations) or herd immunity. I don’t want people to have false confidence.”

“To say, ‘If you’re vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask,’ that’s great. But what about all of the other people who are out there that aren’t vaccinated?” Lightfoot added. “There’s no way to know that. So I think for the time being, most people are gonna continue to wear masks outside of their homes.”

Olbermann: why are we "wasting vaccinations on Texas" after lifting mask mandate

Liberal loon Keith Olbermann has a habit of showing the nation just how hateful he is. Even some Democrats are beginning to realize this fact, in a Party where facts matter less than feelings. [H/T Fox News]

The YouTube douche nozzle says that people who live in Texas don't deserve to get vaccinated for coronavirus because "Texas has decided to join the side of the virus" by lifting its mask mandate.

These are the words of an angry, hard-left flame thrower who apparently has the compassion of a scorpion and the understanding of a cucumber when it comes to medicine. And he hates it when government backs off and expects its citizens to act like responsible adults.

Olbermann is the worst person in the world, to quote his words about everyone he disagrees with.

Olbermann left ESPN to start an anti-Trump tirade on YouTube, where he responded to a tweet from Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott outlining plans to re-open the state and revoke mask mandates.

"Why are we wasting vaccinations on Texas if Texas has decided to join the side of the virus?" Olbermann posted.

The former MSNBC pseudo-intellect's opinion didn’t go over well, even with the left.

"I just think it’s wrong to make gross generalizations about the lives and potential deaths of an entire population," Dallas Morning News reporter Evan Grant wrote. "It is mean-spirited and unhelpful on every front."

"People deserve to stay safe and healthy no matter who they voted for," left-wing pundit Molly Jong-Fast posted in response.

Many others blasted Olbermann on Twitter:

The next tweet suggests that Olbermann's post should get him banned from Twitter, but that probably won't happen because he isn't a conservative.

Shehan Jeyarajah tweeted:

And another blunt response:

And my favorite tweet: 

Olbermann is not a nice person, to be kind. He is known for his angry, often profane outbursts. He began his career as an anchor on ESPN's "SportsCenter" but then became political and went to MSNBC from 2003 to 2011

Olbermann later bounced around the industry and anchored an anti-Trump online program for GQ, "The Resistance," and authored a book titled, "Trump is F*--ing Crazy: (This is Not a Joke)." [This is not a joke.]

The cover of the book showed Olbermann draped in the American flag which was clearly touching the ground, a violation of U.S. flag code.

Like the morons who constantly attack people they hate with Hitler/Nazi/Holocaust analogies because they're stupid and lazy, Olbermann compared Trump to Osama bin Laden because he fits the description perfectly.

Black supremacist Jemele Hill calls for black athletes to leave 'white' colleges

Black supremacist Jemele Hill, who in the past made salacious tweets that President Trump is a white supremacist, is now calling for black athletes to leave "white" colleges [she doesn't define the term] because she believes that the schools make all the money and the athletes are not compensated for their play in sports.

Hill evidently doesn't see the value of a college scholarship or the public exposure an athlete gets for his performance, which often translates into a lucrative sports contract at best, and an education at the very least. But when everything you see is in terms of a person's melanin, you often miss those nuances, 

The former ESPN writer who was suspended for calling President Trump a white supremacist without evidence [beyond some dumb things he has said], is calling for black athletes to leave those 'white' colleges. She is now a staff writer for The Atlantic, a leftist magazine that fired conservative Kevin Williamson for being Kevin Williamson after giving his opinions about abortion.

Hill's first article for the magazine, titled, "It's Time for Black Athletes to Leave White Colleges," has drawn a range of responses -- including assertions that Hill is "pro-segregation" or "racist," and that she isn't the one to decide where an athlete should go to school.

Hill argues that black athletes help bring in money and attention to the "predominantly white universities that showcase them," while Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) continue to struggle.

She writes that mostly white schools’ [aka schools whose students are mostly lower on the melanin scale than HBCUs] multibillion-dollar revenues have been built on the “exertions of (uncompensated) black athletes," claiming that an elite black athlete attending an HBCU raises awareness of the institution, whose endowments combined are less than a tenth of Harvard’s.

The racist Hill writes that HBCUs have graduated a significant number of black professionals, a thriving HBCU lifts up the community around it and finally, that some black students “feel safer, both physically and emotionally," at an HBCU – “all the more so as racial tensions have risen in recent years,” a claim that needs actual data to prove.

“Navigating a predominantly white campus as a black student can feel isolating, even for athletes,” she adds, again with nothing to substantiate her claim.

"The flight of black athletes to majority-white colleges has been devastating to HBCUs," she writes, positing, "What if a group of elite athletes collectively made the choice to attend HBCUs?" What if it isn't a "flight" at all, but merely a choice? Usually a flight is a journey from somewhere to somewhere, but it isn't as if black students are fleeing from predominantly black institutions to go to white institutions--but if they were, that would be their freedom to do so.

Hill, like most liberals, doesn't practice what she preaches--she attended Michigan State University [Go Spartans!] which is not an HBCU but merely a U. She left ESPN last year after incessantly attacking President Trump and making ESPN something other than a sports network. She tweeted that President Trump is a "white supremacist" and a "bigot" who was "unqualified and unfit to be president."

But ESPN did nothing initially to punish her for the tweet but then suspended her for two weeks in October 2017, after she violated the company’s social media guidelines again. She called upon fans to boycott the Dallas Cowboys' advertisers after owner Jerry Jones demanded his players respect the American flag and national anthem and not take a knee during its playing or they would be benched.

That was a real empty-headed move, to boycott your own family's money providers.

ESPN after LeBatard's attack on Trump wants to end network politics

ESPN president James Pitaro told his team to avoid "pure politics." This comes in response to Dan LeBatard's race-based, vicious attack Thursday on the President of the United States.

Pitaro ordered the distribution of a memo reminding his leftist employees to shut up when it comes to politics because ESPN stands for Entertainment and Sports Programming Network, not Everyone Spews Politics Network.

On an ESPN radio show Thursday, host Le Batard lambasted President Trump about racism and his remarks about the "Squad," those anti-Semitic, socialist congresswomen at a recent political rally.

The semi-genius also slapped his own employer, ESPN, for not having the guts, the virtue and moral fibre like he has, to address political issues that have nothing whatsoever to do with why people tune into the network.

“There’s a racial division in this country that’s being instigated by the president, and we here at ESPN haven’t had the stomach for that fight.

"The 'send her back' chant and the 'go back to where you came from' chant are so antithetical. It is so wrong what the president of our country is doing, trying to go down getting re-elected by dividing the masses at a time when the old white man — the old, rich, white man — feels oppressed, being attacked by minorities, black people, brown people, women. That's who we're going after now."

“We here at ESPN haven’t had the stomach for that fight, because Jemele [Hill] did some things on Twitter and you saw what happened after that, and then here all of a sudden nobody talks politics on anything unless we can use one of these sports figures as a meat-shield in the most cowardly possible way to discuss these subjects."

Because it's the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network, you dope.

ESPN suspended Hill, a former SportsCenter co-anchor, in 2017 for violating ESPN's social media policy. She caused a national furor when she called Trump a "white supremacist." Not to mention earlier disgusting homophobic tweets she had to delete and initially claimed she didn't post them.

Pitaro had previously correctly said that ESPN is not a political organization,  despite years of pandering to left-wing politicians and causes.

Everything isn't about politics. People watch sports for the skills, the moves, the home teams. And many of them actually like President Trump, so LeBatard [who obviously had to slightly shorten his name] is insulting Trump's supporters.

Just stop it.

ESPN slaps Keith Olbermann lightly on the wrist after calling on his twits to ruin someone's life

Hands up, don't think

Was his Twitter account hacked, as it always seems to happen to liberals who get caught saying dumb s**t? Probably not, as is nearly always the case.

Former relevant person Keith "Worst Person in the World" Olbermann, an anti-Trump #Resistance dolt, got an earful from ESPN after demanding Brian Broom, a Mississippi Clarion-Ledger journalist be fired and encouraged his Twitter dweebs to harass a 22-year-old turkey hunter who bagged a turkey in season and who Broom wrote about for his outlet.

Olbermann posted Broom’s Clarion Ledger article chronicling Hunter Waltman’s kill of a rare white turkey to Twitter on Tuesday. And in typical unhinged fashion, the former MSNBC personality urged social media users to make Waltman’s life “a living hell.” He stopped short of asking for a revenge murder of the young man.

“It be rare and beautiful so me should kill it,” mocked the 60-year-old. “This pea-brained scumbag identifies himself as Hunter Waltman and we should do our best to make sure the rest of his life is a living hell,” the B-B-brained Olbermann tweeted.

The virtue signaling moron added, “And the nitwit clown who wrote this fawning piece should be fired.”

According to Fox News, ESPN “confirmed that it has ‘spoken to’” Olberman over his controversial comments concerning the young hunter and Broom.

"We have spoken [gently] to him about not making personal attacks," an ESPN spokesperson said in a statement.

As Broom noted in his feature on Waltman, the hunter received mild criticism online, mostly because some argued that the turkey he killed was not wild, but domestic livestock. The hunter maintained that the rare bird was “100 percent wild,” and certified wildlife biologist Bob Eriksen agreed.

"The naked head and neck do not appear to be as ornate as one would expect in a domestic turkey gobbler," Eriksen, a Natural Resources Conservation Service technical service provider, informed Broom. "Even in a first-generation cross between an eastern wild turkey and a domestic bird there would be evidence of domestic traits such as a very large, ornate head and neck and an excessively large dewlap. In addition a F1 would exhibit short lower legs that would be heavier than those of a wild eastern.”

But we should take it from the leftist science deniers, the bird was being raised by domesticated wolves.

The Clarion-Ledger’s Executive Editor Sam R. Hall took a swing at Olbermann for his ignorance of hunting culture, his outrageous call for Broom to be fired for doing his job, and for his disrespect for the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment.

“Keith Olbermann says Brian Broom should be fired for writing this story. What was I thinking? I guess I should have fired our outdoors writer for writing about a hunter killing an unusual turkey during turkey hunting season,” teased Hall.

The executive editor added that Olbermann's comments were “recklessly irresponsible.” He left out stupid, rude, disgusting, anti-American and sanctimonious.

"Someone with his following needs to understand the possible impact of his words," Hall noted. ”Telling over 1 million people to make someone’s life a living hell could have seriously dangerous consequences. In our newsroom, that would be a fireable offense, not writing a story about a hunter bagging a turkey.”

In November of 2017, Olbermann, one of the loudest voices in the #Resistance movement, announced the end of his YouTube show “The Resistance" for GQ magazine. During his goodbye, Olbermann assured the public that President Donald Trump’s presidency would soon come to an end, but he was wrong and he remains a irrelevant to reasonable people.

By attacking both the First- and Second Amendments, Keith Olbermann proved that he is the "Worst Person In The World."

MLB replaces 'Disabled List' with PC list

Major League Baseball is getting rid of the "disabled list" in 2019 because it makes disabled people feel like they will never play major league baseball or something like that. They will now call it the "injured list" and hopefully this will not upset the social justice warriors who are brain injured or brain dead and who

scour the dregs of the Internet to find something to get pissed off over. That would be insensitive.

The "disabled list" has been part of professional baseball since the mid-1960s (and there are even records of some teams using a 'disabled list" as far back as the early 20th century, but those players are dead, which is a worse medical condition), and it has become normal to refer to an injured or exhausted player as "on the DL." 

But MLB has been reportedly batting around the idea of renaming the injured roster in order to better reflect the condition of players who skip games for mental, medical or physical reasons, according to ESPN, the political arm of sports television.

There is even talk of MLB developing an LGBTQsilentP list, but that's merely in the rumor stage at this time.

"The league will make the change out of concern that the term 'disabled' for injured players falsely conflates disabilities with injuries and an inability to participate in sports," the far-left sports network reported after a brief pontification about the Second Amendment. The change was made at the request of disability advocacy organizations, who have been pressing the league to make the change for nearly a decade, having nothing else to complain about.

In recent years, the commissioner has received several inquiries regarding the name of the 'Disabled List,'" MLB's "senior director of league economics and operations" wrote in a letter to MLB teams and team owners in late December.

The MLB statement said:

"The principal concern is that using the term 'disabled' for players who are injured supports the misconception that people with disabilities are injured and therefore are not able to participate or compete in sports. As a result, Major League Baseball has agreed to change the name 'Disabled List' to be the 'Injured List' at both the major and minor league levels. All standards and requirements for placement, reinstatement, etc., shall remain unchanged. This change, which is only a rebranding of the name itself, is effective immediately.

“People with disabilities do not consider themselves injured,”Jay Ruderman, president of the disability advocacy organization, The Ruderman Family Foundation, told the New York Times. “When it’s used incorrectly, when someone is injured, not disabled, that’s offensive.”

But some normal people might argue that the Disabled List referred specifically to the game of baseball and players on the list were unable [aka disabled] to effectively contribute to the success of their team at the time.

Picking nits, Ruderman went on to add that players with a "torn ACL," for example, are more adequately described as "injured" and not "disabled," hence the push. Ultimately, disability advocacy organizations hope that the change will resonate with baseball fans and lead to a more widespread understanding of the difference between temporary injury and permanent disability.

But let's face it--social justice warriors hardly like the term 'disabled' for any reason. They prefer, for example, to call a blind person 'optically challenged,' or a paranoid schizophrenic a 'reality challenged dreamer.'

Anyway, to the credit of MLB, at least they aren't taking a knee during the National Anthem . . . right?

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

Jemele Hill says calling Trump a 'white supremacist' is like saying 'water is wet'

When you see everything about people in racial terms, you might actually be the racist. Al Sharpton, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Jessie Jackson, Marc Lamont Hill, and his namesake, Jemele Hill, come to mind.

According to Jemele Hill, calling President Trump a "white supremacist" is like saying "water is wet. I didn't even think it was controversial," Hill said on the first episode of Dan Le Batard’s “South Beach Sessions,” a part of the sports network’s Le Batard and Friends Podcast Network.

It's possible Trump could be a white supremacist, but it's incredibly unlikely given that his daughter converted to Judaism and he has a Jewish son-in-law, had a Jewish lawyer named Michael Cohen [you've likely heard of him] and he has never been known to associate with white supremacists. Also, he has hired black people many times in the past. That doesn't mean he has never said anything negative about anyone's religion or race, but I don't know of anyone who is free from that sin, including me, I suppose, and I'm married to a woman of color.

Does Hill even know the definition of white supremacist? Here's what Wikipedia has to say:

White supremacy or white supremacism is the racist belief that white people are superior to people of other races and therefore should be dominant over them. White supremacy has roots in scientific racism, and it often relies on pseudoscientific arguments. Like most similar movements such as neo-Nazism, white supremacists typically oppose members of other races as well as Jews.

Leftists and other progressives have actually called Ben Shapiro a white supremacist and a neo-Nazi. Actually, he happens to be an orthodox Jew who is the furthest thing one can be from a neo-Nazi, but ignorance on the left knows no bounds.

Jemele Hill, who was fired from the sports network after repeated violations of its social-media guidelines, made the comments on a new ESPN podcast network.

The racist Hill now works for the liberal Atlantic magazine. She said on the podcast that she thought “we” had “all decided” that the president was a white supremacist and that she was just making small talk on Twitter.

One does not "decide" that a person you obviously hate is a white supremacist based on nothing more than "we" had "all decided."

“If I was really trying to make a bold statement, I would have added the damn president. I didn’t, I was just talking casually with somebody,” she said. “It wasn’t even original. That’s what is so crazy. I got famous for saying something that wasn’t original. It wasn’t new. It was not breaking news. I thought we all decided this after Charlottesville.”

Hill also has called Mr. Trump a “bigot” and “unqualified and unfit to be president.” But Obama, who never ran an actual business was qualified because he was a community organizer, which is a socialist on a mission.

According to Mr. Le Batard, a longtime friend of Hill's, she is simply an “accidental activist” and a passionate journalist.

Journalists who are passionate, often forget to use facts over feelings. Both qualities are necessary for a full life, but the former, not the latter, is what makes one a real journalist. Sadly, that happens to be lacking in most journalism today.

It's obvious that Jemele Hill isn't alone in her contempt for President Trump, nor alone in her absence of facts over feelings in what she labels him. There is no question in my mind that Trump is not a man of great character, but that doesn't make him a white supremacist. However, it might get him in trouble down the road, and because he is our president, that would not be a good thing for the country.

The right wants him to succeed because of his position as president. The left wants him to fail because they hate him more than they love the country.

Hello fellow conservatives. At this time of year when everyone has a hand out for a hand-out, I don't. I simply want you to follow Brain Flushings and check out the ads on this page. It's free, I'm free and you're free to follow me or not. I hope you do.

America's game will not show America's anthem on ESPN

Bristol, CT -- It used to be America's game. Now ESPN will not air the national anthem at the start of "Monday Night Football." But that's okay, we can watch the male cheerleaders doing high-kicks and cheering on the men playing the game. The big question is whether or not the male cheerleaders will show a little bare belly while they dance.

The president of ESPN, Jimmy Pitaro has decided to keep the Stars and Stripes off the air, just in case it offends someone on the left. They didn't show it last year so why fix it if it ain't broken?

Pitaro spoke about his decision at ESPN's annual football media day. A reporter asked him if he spoke to the NFL about the rule changes and the national anthem and if he'd consider "turning the cameras on an athlete that's kneeling for the anthem."

"We generally have not broadcasted the anthem and I don't think there's going to be any change this year," Pitaro said. "Our plan going into this year is not to broadcast the anthem."

It's an interesting contrast to see the gladiators on the gridiron and the cowards videotaping them.

"Again, there could be changes. It's somewhat unpredictable what's going to happen in the world but as of now our plan is to not broadcast the anthem. We have communicated that back to the NFL. They have not asked but we proactively, just as a courtesy and as good partners, let them know what our plans are," he said.

So they plan to remain timid like they did during last season's "Monday Night Football" broadcasts.

The anthem was shown three times in all last year: after the Hurricane Harvey devastation, the Las Vegas massacre, and Trump's comments on the national anthem NFL protests.

Pitaro was asked what he believes is the most inaccurate perception of ESPN. He said that it was branding them as a "political organization," which he thoroughly denies. He said that they cover things that are "newsworthy," however.

"We are the place of record for sports when something happens, when the Eagles are disinvited to the White House, we are going to cover that. When someone takes a knee and we think it's newsworthy we're going to cover it. But we have to be the place of record," he said.

But in order to be the place of record, if the players "take a knee" during the national anthem and ESPN isn't playing it, how can they record it?

The one thing we can take to the bank, so to speak, is that the person who started with "taking a knee," Colin Kaepernick, still is out of an NFL job because he still sucks.

As was the case last year, I can find happiness in life without football. It's a sacrifice because I love the game, but nothing compared to the sacrifices made by our military that allows Kaepernick and his sheep to take a knee during the Star Spangled Banner.

No thank you--I'd rather take a stand.

ESPN calls Katie Nolan's anti-POTUS comment 'inappropriate'

Katie Nolan was recently hired by ESPN and is already making the network grab the Alka Seltzer after she blasted President Trump on Wednesday night. 

She called the president of the United States a "f___ing stupid person" while appearing on Viceland's talk show "Desus and Mero."

So who's the stupid person?

She tried to walk it back by claiming she was on a flu "medicine" and it caused her to say those words.

So who does she believe is stupid? Evidently, Nolan thinks the public is gullible enough to believe that garbage.

ESPN has a social media guideline and while she made the comment on a talk show, she may have realized that she'd better walk it back.

An ESPN representative told Fox News, "We have looked into the totality of Nolan's comments, they were inappropriate, and we have addressed it with her."

Yes, they told her that while they totally agree with what she said, it doesn't look good to their fanbase, most of whom voted for Trump. 

And the network has other problems, like the report published last month describing the workplace there as culture of hostility and sexual misconduct toward women. 

But all Nolan got was a slap on the wrist and a warning to keep it on the "down low."

The NFL boycott is working--don't stop

The NFL boycott being exercised by patriotic Americans who are disgusted with players 'taking a knee' at the playing of our National Anthem is beginning to have an effect. The "Thursday Night Football" ratings fell to a season low in which the Denver Broncos beat the Indianapolis Colts 25 to 13.

Neither the Bronco nor the Colts were in the playoff running for the season. But the season was fraught with controversy and protests and the ratings have declined significantly. Not simply the empty stadium seats at Lucas Oil Stadium, but overall on TV and other stadiums across the country.

Perhaps there's still hope for our country.

The market metered results was 7.4 out of 13, a season low for both CBS and NBC and simulcast on NFL Network, 

The winners in all this garbage is Roger Goodell who just signed a $200 million contract to remain commissioner. 

In spite of their anti-American protest under the guise of police brutality and other non-factual beliefs, the players haven't suffered any repercussions from coaches or the owners. Miami Dolphins coach Adam Gase allowed players to leave the locker room during the anthem and show the fans their lack of respect for it, the flag and the nation by kneeling on the field.

There's still some mutually destructive conflict going on between the players over the $100 million the NFL pledged to donate for their causes, but the money will be doled out and you can bet it's going to go to some leftist group that applauds the players' disrespectful behavior.

The losers were the television networks in terms of their ratings, which will be lower for the third consecutive year. Thus, they will make less money through their sponsors and ESPN may even cut back on its money-losing licensing. That's still in the rumor stage, but it's possible if we remain committed to our beliefs and the boycott continues.

The players may also lose as the salary cap in the league is dependent upon total revenue. Keep kneeling and watch the cap circle the bowl, and I don't mean the Superbowl. Angering your best customers is not smart business strategy. In fact, a Baltimore-Buffalo game recently offered seats as low as $4. Merchandise that used to fall off the shelves is falling off in sales and TV package renewals will possibly decline and this lowers the salary cap as well. This means less money for players in salary and in endorsements if they continue to piss us off.

Next season the players will probably be off the field when the "Star Spangled Banner" is played and the flag displayed. They'll probably kneel in the locker room, especially if the media checks on them.

They can kneel all they want. I'm going to watch college football instead. I particularly enjoy the Army-Navy game (go Navy!). Not only did nobody kneel, everyone, players and fans in the stadium, are prepared to defend precisely what the "Star Spangled Banner" stands for. 

Don't get me wrong--I love NFL football. But I have to put my principals over my entertainment needs. 

I may never watch another NFL game, but perhaps if something changes that shows me the NFL has changed, I might.

In the meanwhile, I hope you'll consider boycotting the NFL, or continue to do so if you already are boycotting. Use the time you would have spent watching a game with your family or friends, or whatever you want to do that seems to always be on the backburner. 

And if you want to take a knee, do it in church. It's a lot more meaningful there.

Will Disney CEO fire ESPN's Jemele Hill or will he 'let her slide'?

Bob Iger, Disney CEO is being pressured to fire an obvious racist whose racially charged words have angered conservatives and now maybe some NFL bosses.

Iger, like Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Mark Cuban, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Andrew Cuomo, Al Franken, Kamala Harris, Jay Inslee, Tim Kaine, Terry McAuliffe, John Hickenlooper, Martin O'Malley, Howard Schultz, Mark Zuckerberg, George Clooney, Rosie O'Donnell, Ozzie and Harriet, may have designs on running against President Trump in 2020, and he might be risking upsetting the leftists.

And hopefully, those who already ran against Trump, will still be alive in 2020 as the Democratic Party is made up of old men and women who love illegal immigrants more than they love the National Anthem.

From a business standpoint, it would be wise for Iger to ditch the racist Hill. She's definitely bad for business and cannot be too bright for making those remarks.

Calling the president a "white supremacist" and saying that if he "were not white, he never would have been elected," wasn't very smart. One could make a case that if Barack Obama were not black, he'd have not been elected president because he got well over 90 percent of the black vote, and according to Harry Reid, he is clean and well-spoken. [And Democrats don't have a problem with Harry Reid having said that.]

Hill was merely suspended for two weeks on Monday after she violated the company's social media guidelines for the second time in less than a month.

Al Sharptongue defended Jemele Hill because he too is a racist and she is black and Trump is a white Republican. Sharptongue said that Hill's suspension "should NOT go unanswered."

Photo: AP

If there's a buck to be made out of a racial issue, Sharpton's on it like wet on water, or the other simile that I'm not going to write. 

Hill also went after Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' new policy that his players must stand for the National Anthem. She said that her audience should boycott the team's advertisers. Not smart.

Dan Gainor, the VP of Media Research Center believes Hill has shown sh has "no ethics: and if Iger wants ESPN to remain successful, she needs to go.

"She falsely claimed that President Trump is a white supremacist. She wasn't fired or suspended. She didn't have to apologize to Trump or even take down the posts. But let her say something about lefty ESPN's advertisers and she is suspended instantly," Gainor told Fox News. "If ESPN wants some return to credibility, she can't stay. She wouldn't fit in. But if ESPN wants to stay as what critics call MSESPN, the 'woke' version of sports, then Hill certainly fits in well."

Iger has become more political lately and some are speculating that he, like other people on TV or in politics, has his eyes on the White House. And according the the failing New York Times, Iger is "emerging as a credible contender in the 2020 presidential speculation game," and the left-wing Washington Post has him listed as a top contender to make it onto the Democratic ticket.

Jennifer Saba of Reuters, said Iger's "priorities are all out of whack" because he runs a huge media company ($155 billion) and if he's serious about running against Trump, it shouldn't be at the expense of Disney or Mickey.

Iger admits he was directly involved in the decision to keep Hill on board, mainly because, while he hasn't experienced racism directed at his whiteness, he understands that black Americans are not happy with Trump because of the bull crap his type of media puts out there. It isn't as if the KKK and neo-nazis were laying low while Obama was president--they just refused to report on it.

This post could go on and on about Hill and Iger, but I won't bore you with the same garbage details about Hill's lame excuses, other than to say that Clay Travis, a Fox Sports radio host, labeled Hill's actions as "one of the dumbest things" he's "ever seen in his life" and wondered if she is "intentionally trying to get fired" in order to get another job.

"If you are in the business that we are in," Travis said on 'Outkick the Show', "your salary is either paid by advertisers or the NFL. Especially at ESPN . . . her entire show is underwritten by these same sponsors."

So it seems as if ESPN endorsed Hill's first tweet about Trump but not the tweet involving the bottom line.

Disgusting!

Colin will take a stand rather than a knee if signed

The country is thrilled to learn that if an NFL team signs Colin Kaepernick, he agrees to stand for the American Flag and National Anthem rather than take a knee. 

But if the NFL doesn't re-sign him, the country will not have to see him take a knee in any case because he will be taking his knees elsewhere.

Supposedly, the NFL knee-takers aren't doing it against the country, the Anthem or the flag, they're just taking it for what they believe is racial inequality and police brutality.

And they have the numbers to show it, right?

But they don't.

Clown-like Kaepernick hasn't been very talkative lately since he became a free agent in 2017 and NFL viewership is circling the bowl. And he became a free agent, not because he's an oppressed black man, but because he is a suck-worthy quarterback and isn't worth having him play on a professional team. 

But he has spoken indirectly to NFL folks such as La Canfora, Chris Carter of FS1 and Adam Schefter of ESPN.

La Canfora interviewed "Kneelin' Colin" but didn't provide video or audio so that there could be plausible denial for whatever the communist-loving footballer might say. 

La Canfora said about Kaepernick: "He's not planning on kneeling. He's going to donate all his jersey sales. He's planning on standing for the anthem if given the opportunity."

Who will the creep donate all his jersey sales to is anybody's guess, but you can be certain it won't be to the Policeman's Benevolent Association, Gold Star families, or the Trump Re-election Committee.

La Confora said that Kneelin' Colin is "working out religiously" in the New York area, but he may have mistook his kneeling for praying rather than protesting. We must ask: was the National Anthem being played while La Confora watched the loser throwing ducks?

Apparently, Kaepernick throws 100 passes a day in a field, somewhere in New Jersey, then returns to New York City to work out in the gym and look at himself in the mirror.

La Confora says that Kaepernick doesn't want to go on camera because he'd be labeled a "distraction" by NFL GMs looking for quarterbacks. He would also be labeled a scumquat loser by patriots who have boycotted the NFL since his robot followers are also taking a knee for the anthem.

He also says that he's pleased and proud that other morons have joined his baseless protest against racial injustice and wants young black kids to be allowed to shoot each other in Chicago and other wonderful cities without the police getting in the way.

Any American who would rather feed their pleasure-center by watching NFL football rather then boycotting the game, has about the same ideological standards as Kaepernick who is now willing to stand if given the chance to throw ducks.

Kaepernick has the principles of a weasel.

ESPN freaking out over Hill's racist attack

ESPN host Jemele Hill called President Trump a "white supremacist" and people are getting sick and tired of being blamed and labeled for being white. Now the sports network is in "crisis mode" according to a recent report.

The news website Think Progress reported that "a top executive at ESPN" ordered Hill to go home and she was seen in the parking lot when production meetings for her show are usually scheduled to take place.

On Thursday, Think Progress posted that ESPN tried to replace Hill with another black host for her show on Wednesday night. Naturally, ESPN denied the claim and told other media outlets that it "never asked for any other anchors to do last night's show. Period."

Whenever you hear the word 'period' you can be fairly certain that what preceded it was a lie. 

Think Progress hit back Friday with a follow-up piece reporting that the sports network is in "crisis mode" and its statement was "highly misleading."

According to the website, Hill was sent home on Wednesday morning and her co-host, Michael Smith, refused to do the show without her. So ESPN tried to reach out to other anchors and check their availability to host the edition of "SportsCenter" that is typically anchored by Hill and Smith--but they eventually decided to allow the show to go on without sidelining Hill.

It all began earlier in the week when liberal Hill tweeted anti-Trump statements.

"Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has surrounded himself with other white supremacists."

She didn't provide other names.

Next, she called him "the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime." And also called him a "bigot" and "unqualified and unfit to be president." Then said, "If he were not white, he never would have been elected."

The exact opposite of Barack Obama's situation and lack of experience.

Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said that she thinks Hill's comments are a "fireable offense" but added that it isn't her job to make that sort of decision. 

Trump himself had to get into the act after his ego was assaulted by Hill's words and asked ESPN for an apology. He is not holding his breath.

"ESPN is paying a really big price for its politics (and bad programming). People are dumping it in RECORD numbers. Apologize for untruth!"

Trump really needs to lay off the exclamation points!

Hill stands behind her words but regrets painting ESPN as an anti-white, bigoted and leftist media outlet. She refuses to apologize.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, President Trump is attending a luncheon honoring black leaders.

Trump is a New York businessman. He works with all races and doesn't give a fig the race or political party of the people he works with--he only cares if they can advance his needs.

Calling Trump a white supremacist is either naive or racist in itself, and that's the problem with the Democrats--they see everything in terms of race, which, in itself, is racist because they shoot before they know the target.

ESPN pulls announcer Robert Lee from Va. football game

Gen. Robert E. Lee

ESPN idiotically decided to pull an announcer from calling the University of Virginia football game because his name is Robert Lee. Evidently, ESPN believes their audience is too stupid to distinguish between the Confederate General Robert Edward Lee and their Asian announcer.

Seriously. This is not a satirical post.

Lee is an Asian-American sportscaster who was hired by ESPN in 2016. The network moved him to a different game "simply because of the coincidence of his name" and because they believe Virginia football fans are too stupid to know that he isn't the same guy, who has been dead for well over a hundred years.

That's all there is to it. There are no excuses for such a stupid decision and it shows that ESPN thinks very little of their audience.

Yes, a terrible thing happened in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 12th, when a white supremacist moron killed an innocent person at a rally over the removal of the statue of Robert E. Lee. 

However, Virginia football fans are smart people and know that the announcer of the game had nothing to do with the tragedy. If it somehow reminds leftists of what happened there, they probably shouldn't watch a game the late Vince Lombardi called a "collision sport'. 

In fact, most football fans tend to be conservative, which is why they are so ticked off at Colin Kaepernick for refusing to stand for the National Anthem, aside from the fact that he sucks of late.

Fully 96 percent of ESPN staff voted Democratic and this is probably a reason for some of its decline. Bob Costas comes to mind and his opining over gun control. Nobody needs a lecture from an insulated guy like Costas.

Lee was moved to the Youngstown State game at Pittsburgh where ESPN believes the crowd won't put two-and-two together regarding his name and the Confederate General's name. 

The network says that assignments are changed all the time.  Yeah, sure.

ESPN goes lefter and lefter

(Photo: AP)

ESPN fired about 100 normal employees who, for some reason, don't believe sports and politics should be on the same wavelength. They will be replaced by sportscasters of color other than caucasian and have hard-left-leaning political views that will be intermingled with sports.

An ESPN site targeting sports fans who identify as women removed a poem that pays homage to convicted cop killer Assata (the 'ata' is silent) Shakur (aka Joanne Chesimard.

Assata (her friends call her "Assahat") is the godmother of late rapper Tupac Shakur.

Assata is a prime suspect in a slew of 1970s incidents involving violent black revolutionary groups in New York City, including a bank robbery, grenade attack and the cowardly ambushing of cops in Brooklyn and Queens.

She was convicted of murdering a New Jersey state trooper, Werner Foerster, shooting him in the head in 1973, but she escaped prison and in the early 80s fled to Cuba where she was granted political asylum. 

Assata is on the list of the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists.

DaMaris Hill

The adoring poem to Assata is written by DaMaris Hill titled "Revolution." It led the April 25 ESPNW.com feature "Five Poets on the New Feminism," which was produced "in honor of National Poetry Month . . . to reflect on resistance, redefining feminism and movement," according to the description on the website.

Yes, Assata reflects resistance--resistance to the rule of law, morality and overall decent behavior.

Yes, Assata redefined feminism with the very 'unlady-like' behavior of robbing and murder.

And yes, the movement can be defined as to how she ran from prison, ran from the law and ran off to Cuba where the Communist dictator Castro was more than happy to take her in after the violence she bestowed upon law abiding American citizens.

Hill's poem opened with the dedication "(for Assata Shakur)." 

After ESPN realized that putting Hill's poem on the site would cause problems for people other than the Black Lives Matter movement, they responded to Fox News in an email. 

"There was an oversight in the editorial process for selecting the poems for the 'Five Poets on the New Feminism' feature on espnW," the email said. "Dr. DaMaris Hill is a respected professor and poet, who submitted this poem based upon her personal feelings toward Assata Shakur. While the editors welcomed a contribution from a notable writer and chose it as a reflection of this one poet's experience, upon further review we have decided it is not an appropriate selection for our site and have removed the piece from the feature."

Later on Thursday the title of the feature was changed to "Four Poets on the New Feminism." Hill's poem dedicated to the cop killing, white-hating scumcrumpette was removed and an editor's note was at the bottom of the page informing readers of the changes.

Hill was unavailable for comment.

Critics went after the website on social media for publishing the poem in the first place. 

Hopefully, President Trump will have Assata extradited back to the U.S. where she can finish out her prison term and die behind bars.

ESPN sued: Calling "racist" thou doth protest too much

When everything you say is 'racist' the accuser is usually the racist.

Doug Adler had worked for ESPN since 2008. He's an excellent tennis announcer and he called the match at the Australian Open in which superstar Venus Williams was playing against Swiss Stefanie Voegele.

The Sydney Morning Herald described Adler's commentary between the two women thus:

"She misses a first serve and Venus is all over her," Adler said.

"You see Venus move in and put the gorilla effect on. Charging." 

And that's what thousand of people heard too. They heard gorilla not guerrilla. The Aussies didn't get the word correctly either, it seems.

But the call of racist seems to roll off the tongue so easily nowadays.

Adler was fired by ESPN two days later after his comment went viral on Twitter and helped along by The New York Times, and now he's suing the sports media outlet.

Adler was a pro tennis player himself and the term he used was well-worn in the 1990s. It's a standard way of describing an aggressive play. He doesn't have any history of making any racial slurs and by all standards is not a racist.

They say a depressed person sees the world through sad eyes, and an anxious person sees the world as a dangerous place.

It stands to reason that racists see the world where everyone else is a racist--certainly not themselves. Maybe they're more in touch with their unconscious minds than we think.

I hope Adler wins his lawsuit and collects millions.
