ESPN is supposed to an acronym for the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network. After going full-throttled political, it now apparently stands for the Extraordinarily Super-Progressive Network.

ESPN’s Pablo S. Torre tweeted his approval in several responses to San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s decision to stage a sit-in during the playing of the National anthem before each game.

Hell of a morning for people who can’t stand criticism of America while unironically wearing Make America Great Again hats — Pablo S. Torre (@PabloTorre) August 27, 2016

Playing the national anthem before every game, incidentally, is the ultimate example of not sticking to sports — Pablo S. Torre (@PabloTorre) August 27, 2016

And normal folks took exception.

@PabloTorre I laugh at people that reap the benefits of what America has to offer but constantly bash it. Evil is everywhere, not just USA. — Philip Werner (@phillyDUBn) August 27, 2016

@PabloTorre Many justifiably feel kaepernick was disrespectful to their country. Zero to do w/making America great or not. — Ed (@Edward_M_Ryan) August 28, 2016

@PabloTorre its to honor men and women that sacrificed their lives for our freedom to say really dumb things and get offended by everything — Pat Cassa (@PatCassa) August 27, 2016

@PabloTorre Our Flag?? & Anthem are the products of our Sacrifice for the very FREEDOMS we enjoy in America, including Football, genius. — Ken Frauenfelder (@playnwitpurpose) August 28, 2016

@PabloTorre I’ll admit, it does take yugeee balls to criticize a country that’s given him $61 mil guaranteed for being a mediocre QB. — Ryan (@RyanPimentel) August 27, 2016

@PabloTorre typical libtard that hates America, but yet like Kaepernick you reap the benefits of living and working here. — RJ Pruett (@nafstropslts) August 28, 2016

And then there was this:
