This is why people hate liberals. Because of satire? Because it should be satire, but isn't. What does ESPN doing something stupid have to do with Liberals? No one was offended by this or demanded they do this. Because they thought there was a chance people would be offended. You just never know these days. So you're upset that a group of people didn't do something that you think they might have done causing a company to act irrationally and rather than blame the company that did wrong you blame a group of people who didn't do anything or demand anything...yea makes sense man. Looks like you had this ready to go. I'm just telling you why, and we know who would've been offended if it came to that. I don't think anyone would've been offended by it. Yeah, they would.
