When is ESPN going to quit doing politics and stick to sports?
They are mad because Tiger is not anti Trump.

The person asking those questions after the golf tournament was a NY Times reporter. ESPN are making an effort to take politics out of their sports but apparently aren't doing a good enough job. That ESPN reporter needs to be shown the door the same way the Hill woman was. Tiger gave a perfectly non political answer and that seems to have angered the main stream media.

That used to be a 'safe' answer. But no more. Trump is like kryptonite for the media. You simply cannot even "appear" to like the man.
I guess the democrats/liberals don't respect the office of the President. Not terribly surprising, but I never expected to see it stated so obviously.
Funny how Steven A Smith turned it from politics to race baiting. Egads. Does ESPN just talk about sports any more?
