White supremacist is hyperbole. He certainly isn't race sensitive. Tough call. Just because she thinks it doesn't mean she should write it.

Am I reading something else wrong, or does that actually say that they lost 90% of their monthly views??

If I hear 1 more commentator say "I think Mike Tomlin could play in the NFL." No, he could not play in the NFL when he was young, he could not even play division 1 college ball so STFU.

Does anyone else get frustrated when listening to football on the radio and the announcers can't distinguish between "from" and "at".

"The Patriots from the Saints 17 yard line"

No, no, no!!!!! They are AT the Saints 17 yard line. They came from their own 17 yard line. Nobody would ever go to a friends house and say I'm from your front door. No I'm at your front door.

Tomlin played at William and Mary which is a D-I school. Never heard a commentator say he could play in the NFL.

Does it also bother you if someone takes a 3, and the announcer says "From downtown"?

if i'm leaving my house to go to a friends house i would say "i'm leaving from my house" similar to if a team is on the 17 yard line and wants to get to the goalline they start "from the 17"

I was listening on the radio, and they kept doing this, so my mind immediately thinks they are in their own end. They weren't saying the Saints, just the yard line.

Why are you are making the assumption she should value her job more than her beliefs?

Good point. She has her "audience" because of her job though. It wouldn't hurt to be respectful of her audience though who may take offense. But maybe she values her beliefs more than her fans.

She did engage in job-cost behavior. Dangerous if she cared about her job. Maybe she doesn't.
