"They sent out memos, 'Listen, we want our sports people on-air talent to stick to sports, stay away from politics and all the other stuff.' ... The next thing, Stephen A. Smith tells the world Robert Griffin can't play quarterback for the Redskins because he is black, not because he sucks, which it was because he sucks. Then you got [Dan] Le Batard and you got Tony Kornheiser comparing the Tea Party to ISIS. So, I think what the memo meant to say was 'If you're not liberal and you're not a Democrat, do not stray from sports.' So they did that and it happened again. And I kept trying to explain to them, I get it, to some extent, but I'm not doing this openly and outwardly anymore. This is something I'm commenting on. The other piece that really jumped out at me was, people would talk — you know the green room where everybody hangs out. It's the ESPN version of the locker room. A lot of times people would be like, they would come up to me and whisper, 'Hey man, I'm with ya, I'm a Republican,' as if we were the secret card-carrying members of some group that couldn't be, that 'those who shall not be named.' The inclusiveness is inclusive as long as you are pointing in the same direction they are."
