Summary

On Friday ESPN used their platform during the NCAA Women's tournament to protest what critics are calling ""Don't Say Gay" bill in Florida. I am so sick and tired of ESPN political crap down my throat. The announcers paused for two minutes of silence to support the LGBTQIA+ community. I don't want that on my live sporting events. I don't want politics mixed with sports. And this has nothing to do with my feelings towards this community. My motto is pretty simple. Life goes fast. Be happy! But other than the Master's and NHL I am done with ESPN. Enough is enough already! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
