    What made this show what it is today was its willingness to NOT talk about sports. When everyone else was analyzing offensive linemen in the summer, this show was talking to Ron McGill or reviewing movies and TV shows with the president of the Marlins, or pop culture , or even politics. Some segments hit, some miss. But you gotta keep swinging. If you feel like talking politics every so often, we're with you, Danno. This is all therapy to help us cope with shitty jobs, commutes, etc.
    It's fun to not take everything so serious... But sometimes it's ok to take some things serious. Be true to yourself. We've (I've?) been listening for 20 years - you're doing something right ❤

    The fact that we are subsidizing owner stadiums and that NFL cases have lasting precedent over arbitration cases and so on is a good example of how politics and sports are inseparable. Politics and everything is inseparable. Not necessarily partisan politics, but the idea that sports is apolitical is kind of silly.
    Think of how many labor issues are covered with sports?

      I also don't look forward to it because of the difficult period he's had recently . And fast forward another 4 years when there is no nazi agenda enacted , will he come back and say he was wrong ? no of course not because the media will have given him another carrot to chase

      And he's just wrong. A person can go on a platform (reddit, UA-cam, Twitter, whatever) and either criticize or blatantly trash the show (in general terms, or a specific day)...without having supported it by actively clicking or downloading.
      Or I can click on this 9 minute clip, see the tone and tenor of Thursday & Friday's shows...and decide not to click on one of the 15 other uploads from those days.
      Did I give you the one click, yeah, but I'm guessing you wanted 5 to 10.
      Mike's argument, is something a trump or Dana white might say and they'd rightfully rip that person (and be correct in doing so).

    Yeah cool Dan. Totally agree and think you, of all people in this space, should be able to talk about these issues however you want. My only problem is you wield this mighty sword meekly. You are a centrist liberal who has siloed themselves in Miami. This is not an insult, it's the representation you have provided politically throughout the years.
    If you really want to use your platform in a positive way. You need to be more aggressive than you were about how craven Trump was on that photo. Less of these political stooges who don't care about how the decisions of government actually affect people. They come to your show and it's a game.
    You platformed activists for trans people when the time arrived. More of that. You have blindspots because of your material circumstances and that's fine. I ask is to analyze if this is making a difference for the better.

      Get over yourself, people. Its their show, quit complaining. Start your own show and make it 100% fun yourself if youre that uptight. Id rather their show not have to address comments like this. Your comments force them to talk about it because they are a responsive show. They want to talk about what they want, which they couldn't before. Be a fan, or don't. They're fine without you as Mike is saying. At the end of the day,we aren't the ones paying for it,so it's probably best to just go away. I'm a fan of Dan and I like hearing his takes on things. Where did that start? Sports. Where has that evolved to? Sports and life in general. It is what it is. Let them be,and if that is not commercially viable,they will change accordingly. Move on, no one is forcing you to watch anything. You're not entitled to any show on the Internet. My goodness.
