100%. Can't imagine being someone that complained to the powers that be, or justify the decision. What a miserable life.

WRAL is probably the one who complained since they are our flagship station. Jesse Helms has to be rolling in his grave at how far left WRAL has become.packgrad said:Mormad said:

2022 Sun Bowl Fan Fiesta canceled due to convention center being used as migrant shelter
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) The Sun Bowl Association canceled its 2022 Sun Bowl Fan Fiesta on Wednesday, due to the convention center currently being used as a migrant shelter.
The Sun Bowl Fan Fiesta was originally scheduled to take place on Dec. 29. Bernie Olivas, Sun Bowl Association Executive Director, cited the state of emergency for the City of El Paso earlier this week.
"Our Fan Fiesta scheduled for Dec. 29 has now been canceled due to the state of emergency that has been declared. They are using the convention center to house some of these poor migrants that are looking for shelter somewhere, so we have canceled the Fan Fiesta." said Sun Bowl Association Executive Director, Bernie Olivas.

I do think the media company should address the situation. Someone posted an article yesterday with some questions that were sent to them - like what policy did he break and who decides on the recourse, etc, and it seems completely appropriate to have addressed those over the past 48 hours, especially given the national coverage this has gotten

Cannot believe this has still not been reconciled / updated?
Even if you give a pass for the weekend and then the holiday, would have thought they'd have addressed this by today
Fortunately for Gary, the events last night and the Skip Bayless's comments have taken all the attention now, but games are coming soon.
No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game - but how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome ... which suddenly seems so irrelevant.

It was tweeted in the middle of the game, when there was discussion as to whether or not the NFL would suspend the game. He simply was asking how they are going to do that, and immediately stated the obvious that none of that matters.
Are people terrible with reading comprehension? I don't get the hate for this tweet. It makes 100% sense based on when it was tweeted.

Seems to me that he metaphorically asked a question, and then he gave his personal opinion to the answer to that same question...Packchem91 said:Wufpack17 said:I'm not a fan of Bayless, but what in the hell is wrong with this tweet?gtman49 said:No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game - but how?

I think it's ultimately "guilt by accumulation of saying dumb things for shock value"? So that people thought this was same?
When I saw all the anger last night, I kept rereading it, thinking I must have missed something.
Again, clearly the NFL was considering options, so not sure why voicing that was an issue. He even referenced it was no longer significant given the health issue
Scott Van Pelt literally just asked the same question as Skip, almost 2 hours later. Thoughts should be with Damar and his family not stupid Twitter gotcha moments. But unfortunately, that's what many of us are. https://t.co/F7hcs0jdXK pic.twitter.com/GS9dkQaXGA

If you cross the border illegally, then you are indeed an illegal alien.

Says the guy saying they're asylum seekers. You don't care about a single one of them. You care about your woke social media scorecard.
Also, I don't care about the outrage. I care about Gary Hahn being suspended I'm sure you don't though. Got a scalp.

What is a woke social media scorecard and where do I get one?
Hahn, who was suspended for controversial comments made in December, will return when the Wolfpack face Miami at PNC Arena. https://t.co/xG8mzPSZha
