Not a lot of people watch women’s college basketball compared to other sports. ESPN is trying to keep it that way.
The “worldwide leader in sports” is broadcasting the women’s NCAA Tournament — and doing a terrible job of it. During halftime of the game between South Carolina and Howard, Elle Duncan opted to take time away from the rest of the women’s bracket to tout that ESPN employees would stage a walkout over Florida’s parental rights bill. The bill prevents classroom instruction on sexual orientation for children between kindergarten and third grade.
When the broadcast returned, Courtney Lyle informed the audience that she would “normally” look back at the first half but that “there are things bigger than basketball.” You know, like teaching first graders about transgenderism. Peck then stated that she, too, would be taking a moment of silence, allowing the second half to begin with no commentary.
