ESPN sent a reminder to all of its employees on Friday that network policy is not to talk about politics unless they intersect with sports. The reminder came after talk show host Dan Le Batard criticized racist comments from President Trump and the network’s policy on politics in his show.
Dan Le Batard, the host of popular ESPN TV and radio shows, tore into both the president and his own network Thursday night. Tagging Trump’s recent rally actions as “un-American,” he also told his radio listeners that “we don’t talk about what is happening unless there is some sort of weak, cowardly sports angle that we can run it through.”
