It turns out mixing politics and sports isn’t necessarily a bad idea.
Fans of basketball and the NBA know Ernie Johnson well. Currently the studio host for TNT’s coverage of the NBA, the Emmy-winning host is among the most respected broadcasters working in sports media today.
So it should come as no surprise that Johnson’s take on the election of Donald Trump as our country’s next president is among the best two minutes anyone has spent talking about the subject.
Speaking on Thursday night, Johnson admitted he was so discouraged by the heated rhetoric and negative tone of the presidential campaign that he couldn’t bring himself to vote for either Trump or his opponent, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
