  • Hates Free Speech

    When Jimmy Kimmel returned to the air last night, my local Sinclair station did not air it, instead only showing local news. Apparently no advertisers wanted to be a part of this blatant attack on our rights as Americans so all the ads were for ABC shows... and this single podcast.

    I can only infer that this podcast is ok with government censorship of free speech.

    Tim and Landon give an honest informed assessment of soccer in the US. I am tired of people sharing their views. They are on the outside sitting in the cheap seats making subjective statements. I deleted all my accounts and spend time listening to Tim and Landon.
