Dakich Suspended

Yeah....speak at your own risk in terms of fan and public reaction.
Kaepernick's issue, of course, was predominantly NOT an interview issue.
But if athletes are engaged, in particular, with ANSWERING questions by the media with political overtones, then their right to respond shouldn't ordinarily require mandated censorship.

that makes no sense. Whether a reporter asks ("engages") or not, athletes/entertainers should know when to keep their mouth shut.

Some things are just common sense, and being asked/engaged doesn't mean you disengage your brain. When asked, "honey, does this dress make my butt look big?"... there's nothing stupid like censorship there, there's just an ability to use your friggin' brain... or not. Your choice.

You stated earlier that Dakich rams a conservative agenda down your throat. I was looking for examples of that conservative agenda.

No, actually I wasn't referring to Dakich ramming anything down MY throat, AT ALL. I was responding to a poster who claimed ESPN was ramming a liberal agenda down HIS THROAT.
Dakich's predominant thrust, politically, is to regularly do battle with what is commonly referred to as liberal politically correctness stances. Throw in some garden variety Trump/H. Clinton stuff along with a dose of right-wing positions, and it's just clear what his deal is.
As I mentioned, his show, his content. Listen or not.

What would you consider to be the best examples of the types of questions that athletes and entertainers should be " keeping their mouths shut " about ?? You know,.....using their " friggin' brains " ??

Just looking for examples of his right wing positions that you keep referring to.

Anyone can access the history of his shows via tape.
Since you'll find a THOUSAND examples of his political commentary there, eventually....
You're all set.

I'll take that as you don't have any examples. But please don't let them stop you from whining to everyone about Dakich's right wing agenda.

OK, now you've got my attention.
I'll take that as you've got nothing better to do than to take your Dan Dakich political leaning curiosity to the point where you need anecdotal confirmation of its strongly conservative nature.
Since villagers in the remote regions of Siberia know of Dakich and his deal.....I'll just let you check with someone else who's regularly listened to his show.
I'm "whining to everyone " about his agenda ?? I could give a (expletive) if a Mack Truck comes across the center line, this evening, and winds up putting Dakich in a closed-casket funeral. "Agenda" = 0 interest.
We done ???

You seem to think I care about your opinion. I just hopped on this thread and saw several of your posts where you were whining about Dakich's conservative agenda. I haven't listened to his show in forever so asked for some examples. Even after sobbing over and over about it you couldn't come up with a single example when asked. So yes - we done.

I could have come up with examples had it been at the request of someone that wasn't developmentally challenged. Nor is anything having to with Dakich worth it.
 
LMAO, have you watched any ESPN over the past 4 years?
Nobody sports program has a more political agenda than Dakich. It's not even close. He plays dumb and pretends not to know whether he's a conservative or a liberal, but he is an extreme conservative.and not a well-informed one.

He's DUMB.

EXTREME.

AND uninformed.

The trifecta!

ONLY because he's perceived to be conservative. That idiot! If only he was socialist, then he'd be INTELLIGENT... MAINSTREAM... INFORMED.

And NO OTHER sports program is more political. NONE!

And, it's not even close.

We have a very stylish chrome Purdue University Football Helmet gracing the Avatar Circle of Mr. hunkgolden Esquire and Senor boilerdug. Well generally in these situations we refer to the old standby 1 - 10 scale of handsomeness. However none of us can actually determine this because we are all sort of invisible internet characters ( Hell I usually assume half of you are Bots). If I had to guess I would assume golden is more handsome as he has assured us of his hunkyness right in his handle. So I suppose the next logical metric would be bulk likes or maybe post to like ratio. Although I sometimes disagree with hunkgolden I believe he probably wins in all three metrics and boilerdug shall therefore surrender exclusive rights to said Purdue University Football Helmet Avatar to be carried out within a fortnight. A few suggestions maybe Nick Holt Locked Up With a Grizzly Bear doing the Death Dance, Jeff Brohm Smashing a Louisville Slugger with a Sledgehammer wearing a Black and Gold Velvet Pimped Out TopHat, or Donald Trump giving Vladimir Putin a Shoulder Rub using Gypsy Tears...whoa whoa Jk..Jk...I Love You All ...I Love This Forum...Boiler Up!!!!!...Big Game Tomorrow.... Good Luck Tailgating!!!...and Good Night Friends!!!!....but seriously a fortnight dug!!!

Dan May or may not be a conservative leanings dude. So what? It appears that Dan’s take on sports from a conservative standpoint is what you have issues with. Over on the BB forum you somewhat seem to support Lebron’s comments on China. You don’t see any issues with ESPN, but Dan is the problem?
