Leftist Bias in Sports: A Major League Detriment

Liberal Bias in Sports: Major League Turn-off

Craig HueyCulture Wars, Freedom of Speech, Media

In sports entertainment, the liberal, anti-American bias is wearing on viewers.

ESPN’s ratings have fallen fast, and more Americans are not watching football anymore.

The biggest reason?

The sportscasters and networks are showcasing disrespectful players like Colin Kaepernick, who continue to kneel during every national anthem. His anti-American actions have turned off millions of views, offended by his sense of liberal entitlement.

He is also a terrible player. Instead of playing real football, the games are getting overrun with regulations, penalties, and flag-tossing, all reminiscent of the safe-space culture on college campuses.

If news networks and sports franchises want to improve their ratings, they need to:

  1. Focus on reporting instead of spinning a liberal narrative
  2. Promote the values of average viewers instead of shaming them to accept
  3. Provide something insightful and interesting to watch, rather than pushing a political agenda
