Not impressed with her amateurish interviews. Waste of air time. Maybe she should stick to football. Is this the best ESPN can do?

Just read your comment on your disappointment with the NHL about not suspending games b/c of a police shooting that has still not been fully investigated. ESPN appears to be the perfect employer for you. I am a police officer. What would you have done? Good thing we’ll never know. Sports are supposed to take us away from our daily troubles.
I am DEVASTATED that sports have become politicized. I hope and pray the NHL keeps up their stance.
