ESPN hired Rush Limbaugh so I fired ESPN.

ESPN hired Rush Limbaugh so I fired ESPN.

Since you are bringing a controversial political personality into your sports channel, that makes a political statement. You apparently feel that it is OK to put your logo on Rush.

I therefore am taking a political stand. There will be no ESPN in my house any longer. My husbands and sons will have to get used to it. I will not tolerate that man and his views anywhere in my life and certainly not in my home.

This is what I sent to ESPN

1. You go girl

I never watched anyway. Hopefully we can get a post of Rush advertisers to boycott on DU. It brought Savage down, it can work with Rush.

2. Just the sound of Limbaugh's hateful voice

makes me want to vomit. ESPN could win me back by hiring Al Franken, who would make mincemeat out of Limbaugh!

However, as it stands, I too will find it impossible to watch. I find it interesting that Disney, (which owns I believe 80% of ESPN, as will as ABC), hired another right-winger (that annoying Dennis Miller) for Monday Night Football.

What's next, Pat Robertson in the booth leading a prayer? :puke:

3. lets hope there are thoudands more of you...they'll drop him FAST!

Maybe you could threaten a soccer-mom rebellion! :bounce:

4. I will only watch Sunday Night Football

I will stop watching the network altogether.

[cboy4]

6. Uh-Oh

ESPN broadcasts Sunday Night Football :(

[Dude_CalmDown]

8. I'm not even going to watch that*

*unless the Steelers are playing.

[HEyHEY]

5. What does tha FAT FUCK...

Who has never played a sport in his life have to say about any sport????

[camero]

10. He's an armchair quarterback

Like millions of people who have never played football.

His politics are much the same. A monday morning quarterback who doesn't know how to play the game of life because he's been spoon fed so much. (No pun intended)

7. WHOA!

Atta girl, SharonAnn!! :D

:thumbsup:

[JCMach1]

9. We need to organize a serious boycott, including

a boycott of national advertisers during the show...

Time to play HARDBALL...

[copithorne]

11. I did the same thing -- emailed them.

I watch the channel.

But I told them I could do without it until they changed their mind.

[RummyTheDummy]

12. Oh come on!

"There will be no ESPN in my house any longer. My husbands and sons will have to get used to it...."

Hahahahahahahaha!!!! Limbaugh sucks but I wish you good luck on the above. You're really gonna need it!
