Is there a left leaning sports channel on broadcast?

Don't listen much because there is no sports happening. But places like Barstool Sports thrive.....Why? Lots of it is the usual Republican talking points....but the white guys at BSS have to be careful about the balck atheletes.... Big quandry.

Ed. note a producer at BSS was a very capable QB and buddy of my son. Smart, Bowdoin College grad. Thinks he is a big fish, but he was also producing Howie Carr's. show Produced the well known libertarian and flame out Kurt Minnihane. So, I know where is head is at.
