Your Moment of Cynicism for today

It's been 10 days now since Dan Le Batard did a little truth-telling on the radio, flaming his bosses at ESPN for muzzling the talent from speaking out about presidential racism and such, unless of course they can hide it behind some sort of Sportsball camouflage.

Everyone (including the Blob) figured the bosses would slap down Le Batard with all due haste for deliberately raspberry-ing company policy. And yet ...

And yet, it's been 10 days. And Le Batard is still on the air. And there's been nothing but crickets from management.

Compare that to how swiftly ESPN cast Jemele Hill into outer darkness for speaking some truth of her own, i.e., that Our Only Available President is a white supremacist. Surely its glaring silence vis-a-vis Le Batard couldn't have anything to do with the fact his show is the most wildly popular entity on ESPN's radio platform. Could it?

Nah. That can't be it. Surely that's just one of those, what you call it, amazing coincidences.

Heh.
