Why Should the Ohio State Buckeyes be on a Radio Station on Saturday

when that same radio station promotes nothing but hatred and bigotry in the likes of Limbaugh and Hannity from Monday thru Friday?

For that matter, why should Alabama, or Norte Dame, or Penn State, or Florida, or USC, or Michigan....

Do they support the hatred and bigotry?

Why would any University allow any of it's athletic programs to be broadcast by any station affiliated with Clear Channel or Sinclair Communications?

If stations broadcast 1 fucking second of Limbaugh, they are providing a platform for hatred and bigotry.

Hell, couldn't the same go for pro teams as well?

Why associate yourself with such vile content?

Stop enabling the hate!

It's all about how much those stations pay to carry the games. Welcome to capitalism.

OSU and other universities are subsidizing hate speech by using the black athletes to bring listeners and profits to these stations l!!!!

Thank you!

The same thing happened on the short-lived liberal station in Seattle, 1040AM. I'd be listening to Randi Rhodes, and then it would suddenly be the Washington State Cougars.

That station changed its format to sports and I'm sure in five years it will be something else. Prior to being the liberal station, it had a country format. Pretty much the only constant was the Washington State sports broadcasting.
