Tough to Know the Real Story
- Share via
To say that I was shocked to hear that Rush Limbaugh will be joining ESPN’s “Sunday Countdown” is an understatement. Is it not enough that the airwaves are constantly filled with venom-spewing right-wing ideologues, that now we have to contaminate sports?
ESPN justifies the action, claiming that he is a big sports fan. Following this specious reasoning, should we next expect them to hire David Duke, Fidel Castro or the recently unemployed Saddam Hussein as commentators? While I doubt that the show will draw many new viewers because of Limbaugh’s addition I suspect that many will elect to no longer watch the show.
