I wish they would sanction the enamabag and suspend him for a year if not for life. The omsbudsman has already come out and sharply critisized his work late last year.Wow, what an enema bag he is.
He's already been fired by espn once before?ESPN.com is about to get sued over that prick. They screwed up letting him back in the building after firing him the first time. I guess now that he knows Jews are off limits, he's focused his venom on another scapegoat.

Fired by espn at the time, returned two years later.Easterbrook also had a blog at The New Republic Online, until mid-2004. In October of 2003, in a column critical of what he considered to be the senseless violence in the Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill, Easterbrook wrote the following:
Set aside what it says about Hollywood that today even Disney thinks what the public needs is ever-more-graphic depictions of killing the innocent as cool amusement. Disney's CEO, Michael Eisner, is Jewish; the chief of Miramax, Harvey Weinstein, is Jewish. Yes, there are plenty of Christian and other Hollywood executives who worship money above all else, promoting for profit the adulation of violence. Does that make it right for Jewish executives to worship money above all else, by promoting for profit the adulation of violence? Recent European history alone ought to cause Jewish executives to experience second thoughts about glorifying the killing of the helpless as a fun lifestyle choice.
This caused an uproar and accusations that Easterbrook and The New Republic were anti-semitic. Easterbrook wrote that he "mangled" his own ideas by his choice of words and wrote the following to explain his thought process and to apologize:[4]
Twenty minutes after I pressed "send," the entire world had read it. When I reread my own words and beheld how I'd written things that could be misunderstood, I felt awful. To anyone who was offended I offer my apology, because offense was not my intent. But it was 20 minutes later, and already the whole world had seen it... My attempt to connect my perfectly justified horror at an ugly and corrupting movie to the religious faith and ethnic identity of certain executives was hopelessly clumsy...accusing a Christian of adoring money above all else does not engage any history of ugly stereotypes. Accuse a Jewish person of this and you invoke a thousand years of stereotypes about that which Jews have specific historical reasons to fear. What I wrote here was simply wrong, and for being wrong, I apologize.
it's offered as illustration of the lunacy that continues to prevail, the guy that called Belichick the Devil and who was a central figure throughout in moving the Walsh story forward has now ratcheted up the rhetoric to a lifetime ban.A media member doesn't like BB? What a suprise.
Easterbrook writes trash and puts it up on the ESPN server. The editors realize it is trash and refuse to link to it.
But some intrepid Patriot fan finds it and puts up a link.
This is as if, the editors of the Herald had rejected Tomase story in February and threw it in the trash, but some Pats fan found it and posted on the internet.
ESPN made the RIGHT choice. Why are we overruling it with the wrong choice?
