● Shot: “[ESPN president Jimmy Pitaro] recently said he thinks the biggest misperception of ESPN is that it is political, and now he is putting action behind his words.

● Chaser: ESPN Questions Tiger Wood’s Blackness, Calls Him Stupid For Not Ripping Trump.

Like Trump’s swamp draining in DC, Pitaro has his work cut out for him, if he actually does wish to return the channel to its apolitical glory days.
