Sports fans with brains unite!
Rush Limbaugh is joining ESPN. See the link below.

Drop ESPN a line, and let them know what you think.

Apparently they think he'll be the "voice of the fan". Let ESPN know that Rush doesn't speak for you on any subject, at any time.

It may be more effective to write to Disney instead of ESPN.

2. Not his politics?
What crap.

Anytime these blowhard hate-mongers get treated as legitmate journalists, it cheapens the media even more.

3. Contact
Perhaps contacting cable/sattelite providers would be more effective.
Then any ESPN advertisers.
It seems to me that by hiring the fart bag they are condoning his views.
I won't be watching.

4. Put together a list of racial remarks Pigboy has made
and send it to Pardon the Interruption. Tony Kornheiser AND Mike Wilbon distrust conservatives. And the racial thing pisses off the entire sporting community. Just let them know where Pigboy has stood in the past.
