Michelle Beadle will no longer anchor ABC/ESPN’s NBA Countdown and may be out of job entirely on the self-named Worldwide Leader in Sports. As a formerly rising TV star in the sports industry, Beadle is now a three-time loser. She failed as a host on the NBC Sports Network, was essentially told to get lost as host of ESPN’s Get Up, and now she is done on Countdown. This is one case, however, of where someone who got woke doesn’t go broke. She may even collect her massive $5 million annual salary for another year perhaps for just sitting on the couch.

Content consumers wary of any film or TV series branded as a Netflix original may understandably hesitate about adding The Highwaymen to their watch list. The Highwaymen chronicles the events after the government hires legendary retired Texas Ranger Frank Hamer (Kevin Costner) in 1934 to essentially do an OO7 on violent celebrity gangsters/folk heroes Bonnie and Clyde. The no-nonsense Hamer brings another Ranger colleague out of retirement for the road trip pursuit.
Blue-check Twitter is apparently calling for ex-NBA star and coach Kevin McHale to be fired from his job as a TNT commentator after allegedly attending the Donald Trump rally in Duluth, Minn., last night.
Merely showing up to hear a president speak doesn’t necessarily mean that a person supports the entire POTUS agenda. Moreover, the controversy du jour that has enraged the social justice cohort — family separation at the border — was also in effect during the Obama administration with no outcry.
“Speculation that the man in the images is McHale was fueled by his wife Lynn McHale, who regularly posts pro-Trump updates on Twitter. And when Twitter users thought they had seen her husband at the Duluth rally, they descended on her account—which she then deleted,” Newsweek explained.

From Clay Travis’ Outkick the Coverage blog:
“It’s important to note that LeBron James attended a Hillary Clinton campaign event on the stage and not one person with any kind of audience in the country had any issue with that or even remotely suggested it should impact his job status. Because LeBron’s a citizen, just like you and me, and he has a right to his political opinions, just like you and me, even if we disagree. This is what reasonable adults used to think… all Kevin McHale did was attend a rally. He was just in the crowd. He didn’t speak or openly support Trump. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but he didn’t do it.) All McHale did was show up in the corner of a photograph of the rally.”
Greg Popovich, Steve Kerr, LeBron, all of them can rip Donald Trump publicly & no one says a word about their jobs. But Kevin McHale, in his own private life, can't even silently stand in the crowd at a Trump rally? The sports media has gone insane: https://t.co/fb6G9EB3Bx
