More Cuts at ESPN

I like Lester, but he gets taken down a notch by being on the same network as that anal wart with hair, Chuck Todd.

 

Allison Williams is leaving ESPN over COVID-19 vaccine mandate

 

Tossing away a career in order to make a political statement. Next up: Nick Rolovich.

 

I get the feeling that, most of these people, if they just got the shots, would suddenly be going, "Is that it? Geez, what was I thinking?"

They're making the act of getting vaccinated so much a bigger deal than it is.

 

But the microchips! G5! Tracking software! Eff the libruls.

Aren't most sideline reporters pretty much paid by the game? Shoot if they're makeing the hosts and big names take haircuts, I imagine someone who may contribute a feature, maybe a campus report and a sideline a week isn't pulling in big money. Not like she was making a huge sacrifice - perhaps lead sports anchor money at an SEC college town.

 

Correct. There's a resistance to it that is rooted way more in spite than reasoned thought.

 

We're months past the point of legitimate moral, medical or scientific objection to the vaccine. *

This is political theater.




*I attach the necessary caveats about risks and side-effects in a very small number of individuals; as well as the demurrals about long-term outcomes.

 

Imagine thinking anyone cares enough about where you work that you feel the need to make a five fucking minute video announcing your decision to leave.

Even the famous Allison Williams isn’t close to famous enough have anyone care, and this one is not the famous Allison Williams.

You read a Facebook post about how the vax makes people infertile? Great. Quit your job. I saw a Panda Express in Des Moines offering $23 an hour. That’ll be much better for your womb. Good luck. Don’t miss the butter cow at the fair.

 

All the crab, er, cream cheese rangoon you can eat!
