ESPN has claimed that they are removing themselves from the political discussion, but the mask has slipped after former MLB player Aubrey Huff made a patriotic posts about teaching his kids to shoot earlier this week.

Huff made the comment on Tuesday that he was teaching his kids to shoot in the case that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) defeated President Donald Trump in next year’s political election, and they would have to fight to keep their rights during a socialist takeover of America.

The original tweet can be seen here:

Getting my boys trained up on how to use a gun in the unlikely event @BernieSanders beats @realDonaldTrump in 2020. In which case knowing how to effectively use a gun under socialism will be a must. By the way most the head shots were theirs. @NRA @WatchChad #2ndAmendment pic.twitter.com/6xUsS7ciX3

After Huff’s post went viral, the Left started a digital lynch mob against him. It was led by ESPN anchor Kenny Mayne, who claimed that Huff posted “a threat of political violence.” He also went out of his way to inject race into the issue.

I was teaching my kids how 2 shoot guns responsibly. I did make a political opinion but at no time did I threaten anyone’s life. You & ur colleagues @espn @Disney create more political & racial divide everyday. See how you played the race & politics card here to fit ur narrative? https://t.co/6uoExntisW

Deranged leftists attempted to call federal authorities on Huff, and made comments that his children should be kidnapped from him because he taught his children about the real meaning of the 2nd Amendment.

For all you that reported me to the FBI, and Twitter I’m happy to report I flew today & got to my destination with zero security problems. Also had 100’s of emails from @Twitter that say I violated zero of twitter’s posting rules. Thanks for all your concern! Happy Thanksgiving pic.twitter.com/tTSHivG7Ps

This is the world we live in today. Teaching your children how to safely handle and shoot a gun at a legal gun range is now grounds for having your children taken away from you. 🙄 @RationalMale @WatchChad @GrahamAllen_1 https://t.co/fXiWbWMkkX

Huff refused to be bullied as the witch hunt came for him, and he embarrassed some of his detractors publicly. He even admonished Hollywood actors Colin Hanks, Tom Arnold and Kathy Griffin for their attacks against him.

She’s not gonna bang u Tom. If I were you I’d focus on hanging on to that 4th wife before you lose the rest of your money on alimony payments. Let’s chat over coffee about failed marriages. Alimony for my 1 divorce sucks. I can’t imagine being dumb enough to do it 4 times. https://t.co/oeQqsfCDVL

I’m officially done with Colin Hanks. Such a bummer when you realize someone you’ve never heard of turns out to be the son of a famous actor. I didn’t have a dad in @MLB to give me a head start. Looks like you did with papa @tomhanks #silverspoon 🙄 https://t.co/cKMP0X6Aak

My boys and I were shooting a fake paper target, as I was teaching them safe gun practices. Yet here’s a picture of you holding a fake head of @realDonaldTrump murdered by your hand with a knife. How’d that work out for your career? The hypocrisy is strong with this one. #moron https://t.co/Id3ygC31kH pic.twitter.com/lcb3ijCgeC

Overall, Huff was emboldened by the response. The left-wing cancel culture was unable to do anything to hurt him or his family, and he received an overwhelming reception from thousands of patriots who supported his comment.

Want to thank all you patriotic Americans that have reached out to me the last couple days in support of my "controversial post." It's people like you that make this country strong! And to all you amazing fathers out there raising strong girls, and brave young men, I salute you! pic.twitter.com/I5HLy2yQLn

ESPN recently altered their company policy to essentially ban political takes from their on-air personalities. This comes after “woke” leftist content in the Obama era angered their fans and jeopardized the profitability of the iconic sports network.

However, the employees at ESPN are revolting against the policy, and the network’s administrators are seemingly unwilling to do anything to punish offenders:

The iconic sports network ESPN finds itself in a serious bind. After embracing woke identity politics while Obama was President and doubling down with constant ‘Orange Man Bad’ coverage after Trump replaced him, the network is attempting to put the genie back in the bottle and ignore politics altogether.

The only problem is their analysts, many of whom are social justice warriors who have been immersed in the fake news ecosystem for their entire careers, are not going along with the program despite the fact that it is what their fans want.

ESPN President Jimmy Pitaro is trying to undo the damage that was done largely before he came into power 17 months ago, but is running into roadblocks…

ESPN host Dan Le Betard, who wrote for the Miami Herald from 1990-2016, is openly defying the orders from his boss as he feels that the sports network should be a vehicle for his leftist political beliefs.

“We here at ESPN don’t have the stomach for the fight. We don’t talk about what is happening unless there is some sort of weak, cowardly sports angle that we can run it through,” said Le Betard, who clearly believes every facet of modern life should be relentlessly politicized.

Pitaro was put in charge after a turbulent 2017 that saw previous president John Skinner resign after an alleged case of extortion, and the network become a political football for the White House after former host Jemele Hill called Trump a white supremacist on her Twitter account. Pitaro was appointed as a fixer of sorts to rid the institution of its obvious political bias.

However, Pitaro is buckling under the pressure. Le Batard will remain on the air despite his outburst and violation of protocol. With next year’s presidential election right around the corner, other leftists on staff know there will be no consequences for their actions.

ESPN made a huge mistake by producing woke leftist content, and they cannot put the genie back in the bottle after foolishly embracing social justice activism.
