    capitalism doesn't mean you can't stand for something or have a backbone.

    I was just pointing out that ESPN is attempting to get out ahead of any 'social justice' campaigns as a business decision. Why would a company want or need to prove a point?

    Sure, foster an environment where your employees know that if they make one false or awkward step you'll throw them under the bus. I'm sure morale will be at an all time high.

    It's been that way for years. Why do you think many of the anchors try and be big at other networks? Some have succeeded, but many fail and have to crawl back to ESPN. ESPN is the 400 pound monkey in the sports entertainment jungle, and they can pretty much treat their employees how they want. ESPN knows a good portion of their staff has no choice but to stay if they want to keep getting paid.

    Not sure who is running these boards, but who determines which posts stay on the "Hardcore Husky Board," and which get relegated to one of the outer territories? I've seen some completely irrelevant shit (like the top post on this thread) hang around, while much more relevant topics get tossed into one of the backrooms.

    ecklund? kim? Mods? Help?
