ESPN continues to completely suck.
ESPN employee Katie Nolan is under fire for going on the talk show “Desus and Mero” and calling President Trump a “f—ing stupid person.” While discussing Trump giving thumbs ups (despite it being associated with stupid white supremacists), she said, “That’s because he’s a [bleep]. Back it up. Back it up. That’s because he is a f—ing stupid person.”

Lovely. Apparently, she’s not familiar with ESPN’s new “try not to talk politics” guidelines. Remember those?
“Commentaries on relevant sports-related issues are appropriate, but we should refrain from overt partisanship or endorsement of particular candidates, politicians or political parties,” the policy stated.
ESPN has responded by suspending her. HAHAHA just kidding. They just gave her a stern talking to.
“We have looked into the totality of Nolan’s comments, they were inappropriate and we have addressed it with her,” a rep stated.
Oh yeah. That’ll show her.
Katie Nolan! Another reason for everyone to boycott ESPN after making nasty comments about President Trump! How many customers does ESPN want to lose? More layoffs coming because of these idiots!

Apparently no one gave @katienolan the note that no one gives a shit about sports reporter's terrible political opinions.

Katie Nolan did not waste much time testing ESPN's new political policy, calling President Trump a "f–king stupid person" https://t.co/uoIPsux8Kj

That made me laugh. She is a complete dud. She is trying so hard to make news by slamming the president. Looking for her 15 minutes of fame.

Everyone needs to call ESPN and get this woman fired. Not a good representation of their network
