I hope she apologized sincerely, instead of ESPN forcing her to do it.

I'm guessing I would be. The growing youth and blondness of the sideline reporter industry isn't in a good light today.

That whole thing was crazy, Law did nothing except present facts against Schillings fairly tales and they suspended Law and did nothing to Schilling, who is infinitely less crucial to their dying baseball coverage. Meanwhile, Curt Schilling owes the state of Rhode Island like 85 million dollars.

Schilling was going on some Twitter rant about how there is no proof that evolution is real, and Law tweeted some facts about science at him. ESPN then suspended Law.

Schilling went on a long Twitter rant about how creationism is real. Many people called him an idiot. Law responded with facts in what I recall was a very polite, respectful way. ESPN suspended Law.

I actually have no idea who this chick that yelled at the parking people is. The only things on ESPN I watch are live games, 30 for 30, and ESPNFC. Their coverage of anything other than the NFL, the sport I care least about, is turrible.

I love how Phil's explanation was exactly the same as mine, but spoken like an adult.

I watch even less than numbers. I DVR 30 for 30s and will turn it on for a live game if that's who is showing it.
