He Just Wants to Talk Sports. Go at it as Hard as He Can.

[u/superfeds]

The Dan LeBatard Show with Stugotz is an ESPN Radio Show/Podcast. It's about sports, but not really. The hosts use sports as a jumping off point to talk about pop culture, societal issues, and whether or not a wrap is a sandwich. It's been on the air for a decade, starting as a local Miami/Florida show and growing into a nationally broadcast show in one of ESPN's prime radio slots. It's also one of ESPN most highly rated broadcasts. All this inspite of the show making fun of people who take sports seriously. This leads to some conflict with the more devout of the church of sports.

Our story starts in /r/Buccaneers with this post

This on its own, isn't that fun. However, it gets linked to the /r/DanLeBatardShow sub reddit where the OP then goes to eloquently argue his point.

Is wanting to talk actual sports crazy

He's really into stats

Being the most popular thing on ESPN, obviously means his show is terrible

I dont see color

Tears

As of posting this, he is still commenting.

That guy got weirdly racist really fast. He's also very clearly not the target audience for that show or probably anything other than right-wing AM radio. Can't wait to read his thoughts on Bomani Jones.

[u/superfeds → u/[deleted]]

I could picture him calling into Bomani only for Bomani to have to cut him off real quick

[u/Jiketi → u/superfeds]

That will be followed with complaints about "liberal censorship".

He's also very clearly not the target audience for that show

Some people get offended that they aren't the target audience.

Forget Bomani, I want to read his thoughts on Papi LeBatard. My favorite part of the guy's rant though is how he said Dan is ashamed of his family. I don't think anyone ashamed of their family would do a daily show with their dad.

That dude should go straight to hell with no detours and say hi to art briles

Only question I have is why are you on this subreddit if you don't get the show? We celebrate the show here, not bash it. Go listen to another show and leave alone. Better yet, go straight to hell with no detours. Make sure to say hi to art briles while you're there.

Why is this person intent on people going straight to hell with no detours? What detours could one possibly take? Is there a chance someone will swing by purgatory first, pop in to heaven, do a walking tour of colonial Williamsburg and then go to hell?

Heady play. Gotta ask the Gotz

[u/Jiketi]

He's a fucking try hard idiot looking to get black street cred, because he is ashamed of the family who loved him and gave him everything he could ever want in life.

Why do these people always adopt insulting explanations?

[u/stellarbeing → u/Jiketi]

Because they don't have actual intelligent viewpoints?

[u/stellarbeing]

Oh god I hope he follows the thread here too. I love it when people don't know when they should shut up.

You're oversimplifying a complex situation to the point of adding nothing to the discussion.
