Funny you would use the word science. His listeners don’t believe in it

It sounds like they are just canceling his appearances on other shows. It doesn't mention they canceled his show (which he has a contract for).

This is likely more to do with contract negotiations. Finebaum has no intention of running for office. He likely said it as a negotiation tactic to signal he has other options (the same way college coaches pretend that they might take another coaching job so they can get a raise). Disney basically called him on it.

In any case, it's a bad look for Disney because of how the Kimmel situation. Now it loks like they are trying to actively sabotage a potential Republican after caving to the Democrats.

Disney can't get out of their own way and I hope they crash and burn.

Most of us would like to see that. The problem is they are like the big banks from 15 to 20 years ago. Too big to fail.

This is complete BS!

I don’t care if you like Finebaum, or not. If you express conservative values, or intentions, on a main stream media platform, you get cancelled immediately.

He does recall a story from 2019 that ESPN blocked his request to interview Trump before the Alabama LSU game.

Isn't it co-owned with the conference?

Paul’s X account has zero mention of ESPN or SEC in the header … not sure if it did before. But it seems like a glaring omission.

The irony of a communist antifa network owning the SEC network, whose viewers are mainly conservative, can’t be lost on a few

I hope you're joking, because there are way too many people who actually believe that it's possible for a multi-billion dollar publicly traded multinational corporation to be "communist."

I called it last week when the interview with Travis came out.

I believe Paul Finebaum knows his contract with ESPN/SEC Network is short-lived, and I think he sat down for an interview with Clay Travis to state that he voted for Trump and wants to run for Senate as a Republican so that it would create a firestorm with ESPN.

It was fairly well known that Finebaum leaned to the left… at least in the Clinton/Obama years. Could he have shifted to the right? Maybe. But I think he’s intentionally creating a firestorm so that he can save face or even better, file suit against the network for political discrimination when his contract ultimately doesn’t get renewed.

Sadly he knows ESPN is so batshit crazy politically that stating he voted for the current sitting president who won the popular vote of the full American voting public would be enough to get ESPN to retaliate against him.

Guessing ESPN would just claim it's because Finebaum (an ESPN employee) did an interview with a Fox employee as cover?

If he was running for Democrat he’d get prime time TV slots. Disney is so liberal it is disgusting
