  • Dan great @ sports/ not @ politics

    Dan’s great when he stays on sports topics. When he ventures into politics, has anyone told him he sounds like the MAGA version of Megan Rapinoe regurgitating group think.

    Dan nails it time and time again. He’s “been there done that” and calls out the racist woke blowhards that can’t think straight and sound stupid. THANK YOU Dan!

    Can we please stop with the term “African American.” If we can use the term Black history month and if BLM and BET are ok to say, then we can sure as heck use the term Black people. Love ya Dan!
