On January 11, 2008, Sportsannouncer Dana Jacobson of ESPN (A subsidiary of ABC) chose to use the word F___ multiple times during the course of a speech she delivered. She even went so far as to say, ‘F___ Jesus.
If you recall, Comieianne Kathy Griffin chose to voice similar remarks, aired on ABC, before a National audience, and ABC has never been held to accout for this by the FCC.
I have been a fan of ESPN but will BOYCOTT their programs until such time as either ABC or ESPN has the lady in question PUBLICALLY APOLOGIZE, ON AIR, or terminate her employment.
The President of ESPN, George Bodenheimer, has been asked to respond to these actions but has chosen to act as if nothing of account occured. I ask, what do you think would have happened if the words uttered were F___ Mohhamed?
