Final Nail In The Coffin: Conservative-Hater Keith Olbermann Signs A New Deal With ESPN

This has to be the final nail in ESPN’s coffin.

You know Keith Olbermann, right? Of course you do. He’s that horrid human being who calls people who support the NRA total whores.

Because whores like @realDonaldTrump the @gop and @benshapiro have sold their souls to the NRA and the death cult. Any other questions, Kid? https://t.co/hVdx6pRQ73

He also once said this:

You and @Potus can go fuck yourselves, you racist Nazi fucks. https://t.co/zWxy3BceoU

And this:

TO HELL WITH YOU, YOU MOTHERFUCKING TRAITOR. https://t.co/joix62LdlM

And this:

Did you eat this little Nazi Stephen Miller? You look like you gained some weight. https://t.co/96JN7HE5dV

And this:

Can we get ICE to do something useful, legal, and patriotic for once, and deport this goddamned Nazi’s fat ass out of here? https://t.co/FChAMaBQh8

There are more examples of his douchebaggery, but that should suffice for now.

And remember a while back, when he got all our hopes up?

I don’t think he’ll be able to fully commit. Especially now that failing ESPN is promoting him. They’re “expanding his role.”

Olbermann’s new role with ESPN will include many one-off assignments, beginning with this Memorial Day’s Yankee-Astros game, which he will call on radio with analyst Jim Bowden.

Olbermann will be involved in ESPN’s on-site coverage of the All-Star Game and World Series. He will continue with some guest appearances on “PTI” and “Outside The Lines,” as well as some guest radio hosting.

This is the sixth time Olbermann has worked for ESPN during a high-profile career that has seen him bounce from sports to politics. When considering Olbermann at 6 p.m., sources said ESPN did factor in that Olbermann is partly known for hosting left-leaning political shows at a time when ESPN has battled media reports about a perception of a liberal bias.

It makes you wonder…was this really the best move, ESPN? Like, do they really believe that was a good idea?

ESPN employee: Sir, our ratings have been plummeting. Think it has to do with how political we’ve gotten. What should we do?
ESPN exec: Get me Olbermann.https://t.co/ethZP67sTI

RIP @espn. What was once a formidable network has descended so far down, they’re all but circling the drain.

NFL: man, i don’t know if it’d be possible to make worse decisions than we’ve made or lose more viewers than we have
ESPN: hold my decaf soy latte & watch this

Isn’t this like putting out a fire with gasoline?

ESPN is really trying to push the liberal agenda huh

Dude is a clown. Not surprising ESPN doing this

— Lance Stone (@CoachLstone) May 25, 2018

ESPN hires Keith Olbermann. That will certainly do a lot to support the network’s claim that it’s not overtly leftist. pic.twitter.com/FDxBfEzM9v
