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.
