Business Title: ESPN Pulls Event from Donald Trump Golf Course ESPN has become the latest corporate entity jump on the pig-pile on Donald Trump. Following moves by Macy’s, NBCUniversal, and NASCAR to distance themselves from the presidential candidate, ESPN has decided to move an annual golf tournament honoring late North Carolina State basketball coach Jim Valvano from the Trump National Golf Club. “We decided it was appropriate to change the venue, and are grateful for the opportunity to stage the event at Pelican Hill on short notice,” the network announced in a statement. “This charity outing benefits The V Foundation’s Stuart Scott Memorial Cancer Research Fund, providing resources for important cancer research for minority populations, including Hispanics and African Americans. Our decision reflects our deep feelings for our former colleague and support for inclusion of all sports fans. Diversity and inclusion are core values at ESPN and our decision also supports that commitment.” Corporations seeking to limit speech have tangled with the businessman-turned-politician since his remarks critical of illegal immigration that came during his presidential announcement last month. “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” Trump maintained on June 16. “They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” (1 image) Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 4. Trump is the "stalking horse" to give candidates something to compromise over. The Hegelian dialect, Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis. The Pubbies will say, "we don't hate like Trump" they dump all over him, and voila....50 million new citizens to cement the Progressive agenda in America for all time. I am sure the vast majority know the game. Someone calls you a racist, you deny it vehemently. Then you compromise and give the "race" you are supposedly racist a big fat carrot, and the people calling you racist have made you move their direction.
#2. To: jeremiad (#1) Trump 2016. So they can't do as you say. To say Trump is doing this so they will get Amnesty is silly. He is losing business and being called a racist. What was that about satan casting satan that Jesus talked about?
#3. To: A K A Stone (#2) The progressives on both sides are trying everything they can to destroy this man. They know that the gravy train/Oligarchy is over if Trump is POTUS! The beltway boys are in an absolute frenzy! GO DONALD! I want America back!
#4. To: out damned spot (#3) GO DONALD! I want America back! Ditto!!!
