Griff welcome back ESPN radio Griff, welcome back ESPN radio host Dan Levy, tar apologizing for posting incentive poll about Isaac ordained, Minister First player, not to kneel for the national anthem after he suffered season ending injury. The poll asks: is it funny that the guy refuses to kneel immediately blew out his knee here to react? Former super bowl champion, Burgess Owens Burgess? What do you make of this? A little insensitive? It seems hi, Griff, first of all, budget for Utah dot com for those who want to support me. This is reminiscent to me growing up twelve years old, standing in Florida of Theater, demonstrating against segregation with college students from Florida, A and M, and it was no guarantee when we went out there for those young people. There would be no incident, they had the faith to overcome that fear, and this is what you are seeing by Jonathan rewarded by Americans. We love courage.
At the same time, we are seeing what true meanness is. I understand we are dealing with. The radical left is true, pure evil. I saw last night an older lady towered over by this tall guy, and he is pouring paint over her and berating her. This is not what America stands for. What we are finding out now is how mean and angry and divisive and destructive. The left is its a great opportunity to understand America. Griff you mentioned quote the left. This is an ESPN radio host who should be giving us politics free sports coverage. Now, in fairness to Dan Levy tar, let me show you he did issue an apology of sorts heres, what he said we apologize for this poll question. I said on the front end and back end on air conversation. I didnt think it was funny on the context we missed the mark. We took the tweet down when we realized the mistake and we realized the mistake and
posed the question to does Dan Lebatard miss the point insensitivity he shouldnt be political in the first place. This is the way the leftists work bullies once they are caught. They are all run and hide. Most important thing is, as we are getting to understand. We are talking about radical left, not just those demonstrating, destroying and trying to hurt, cops or kill cops. It is actually those who hide behind the scene, those hiding corporate environment and colleges. They hate our nation and America and our values, no matter where theyre right now in power, they will come out and do whatever they can to destroy and hurt. I will say this: for those who have concerns about about President Trump understand if evil hates a president, this much, maybe we should reconsider those who are concerns reconsider, because, if evil hates him, that means he musting doing something good. That could be a good message for Americans. We want to
go towards light positive growth and we have to get back to that Griff Burgess just quickly. And lastly, do you think Jonathan Isaac is doing this for political reasons or another reason he is doing it, because is he a faithful Christian? Is he doing what Christians do again there? Is it no guarantee that he wouldnt get hurt or have some repercussions, but he has faith in his Lord and Savior and he is going to do the right thing. Stand for our country thats. What Americans need to do across the country stand up and man up for our nation, and we do that the bullies will go away because they dont know how to do well against those who are courageous and fight back Griff. At least one other player has done this as well. Burgess. Do you think, do you think we will see more of it as the season goes on, as Americans begin to turn off the tv im, one of those guys who will not be looking at professional sports until they fire some of these commissioners, because at the end of the day they are undermining our culture, they are attacking our kids and attacking our american way.
I think we will find more of.
