A pretty interesting story regarding ESPN columnist Bill Simmons and his Twitter suspension from the company.
Simmons had tweeted a few posts in response to Boston station WEEI, which had apparently been critical of him on one of their sports shows. Why is this an issue? Because last month, ESPN brought them on as an affiliate. Whoopsie!
Here’s a good one:
Hey WEEI: You were wrong, I did a Boston interview today. With your competition. Rather give them ratings over deceitful scumbags like you.
Another classic case of free speech ideals being quashed by corporate interests. A pity, but prior to it, at least some comedy is to be had.
