I agree with you inner, once sports talk gets political, I turn it off. Their poor ratings are due partly to the political spin they did the first several weeks, without a doubt. Another article talks about Beadle making a stupid statement about a woman's issue and pounding her fist insisting that the show will have these kinds of issues. Rose made a anti-Trump statement ("I wish I had a president that represented me.") Then some mandate must have come down from the top. A few weeks ago, Greeny made an innocuous statement about helping kids achieve their dreams and Rose said "This show does not deal with social issues." Greeny looked stunned and tried to cover up for him with " this show will always try to bring light to brave stories." Or something like that.
So they've been pretty squeaky clean ever since. I stopped watching Skip & Shannon on FS1 for their stupid political bull, especially with the Colin Kapernick nonsense.
