Olbermann Mocks Palin During NFL Football Games
Is that really want football fans want? Some liberal wise ass getting cute during the game?
Heck, is that what the NFL wants? You’d think that a group like the NFL would want coverage its games to remain somewhat non-partisan, no?
Discussion question: How much of Olbermann’s rage stems from his history as a sports journalist and his ardent desire to be taken seriously as a political commentator? There’s nothing wrong with being a sports journalist, and some have risen the genre to an art form (Costas, Cosell, etc.), but I think a lot of journalists who cover sports see themselves as inferior to their “real news” counterparts and thus walk around with a big chip on their shoulder because of it.
Olbermann being the poster boy for this disorder.
