Apparently ESPN thinks giving Keith Olbermann more airtime is the solution to win back viewers hating on the sports network and its over-politicization of sports:
ESPN employee: Sir, our ratings have been plummeting. Think it has to do with how political we’ve gotten. What should we do?
ESPN exec: Get me Olbermann.https://t.co/ethZP67sTI— siraj hashmi (@SirajAHashmi) May 25, 2018
This is an expansion of his current role at ESPN:
Since January, @KeithOlbermann has been contributing to ESPN (via SCenter pieces, PTI, etc). He will continue/expand that role to include MLB play-by-play, @SportsCenter pieces & anchoring, @PTI, more. Details: https://t.co/iWxDPw2gZJ

Reminder: THIS is who ESPN just gave more air time to:
ESPN hires Keith Olbermann. That will certainly do a lot to support the network’s claim that it’s not overtly leftist. pic.twitter.com/FDxBfEzM9v

He’s actually quite fond of calling people Nazis which ESPN is OK with?
Did you eat this little Nazi Stephen Miller? You look like you gained some weight. https://t.co/96JN7HE5dV

He’s also against immigrants like Sebastian Gorka:
Can we get ICE to do something useful, legal, and patriotic for once, and deport this goddamned Nazi’s fat ass out of here? https://t.co/FChAMaBQh8

How does this keep happening?
I don't get it. Olbermann leaves employers under bad circumstances again and again and again and he keeps getting new gigs.

Tune in Monday!
We begin with me calling Yankees-Astros on @ESPNRadio Monday at 1 PM. You’ll be surprised at my play-by-play style. So will I: this will be the first baseball game I’ve called on radio since I was a high school sophomore and Chris Berman was my boss. https://t.co/I0QhzBywgM
