While watching some college football playoffs on ESPN, I noticed that the screen showing the playing field was diminished. The ESPN “announcers” were the members of the entourage for the Pat McAfee and his show. I thought this was going to be an occasional shot was on for the entire game. It happened again on the next game with a different set of commentators.
I referred to MAGA football because on occasion I am subjected to the horrible Pat McAfee show in certain restaurants. The “star” of sorts is a real turn-off because of his wife-beater shirt; not to mention MAGA mouths i.e. A. Rogers and I assume others of that ilk.
If ESPN insists on showing these losers, I will/not watch their channels. Perhaps it is just a sign of the perverted times we are in, but broadcasters/announcers used to try and have some efforts to be neutral. During the WA vs Tx game the ex quarterback for tx was on for almost the whole show and when we turned it off, later we saw that the M. McConnagey was there with his obnoxious hook-’em horns. For those of you who have not been subjected to tx fans. They are the worst. As an Oklahoman we’ve had to live with that forever. We are not the only ones; WA players were subjected to the same rude treatment after their loss.
But back to McAfee and his entourage of losers. What is their purpose? Are they just trying to appeal to the MAGA crowd? If ESPN is going to subject football fans (especially women) to these neanderthals, they will lose many viewers. As women we make up a small percentage of the viewers, but our influence should not be downplayed.
