Surely Clay is joking. Though I would love them to pull him off the air, I doubt this could be true. Doesn't he live Charlotte?

Herschel lived in Texas but ran in Georgia (yeah, he "owned property" in Georgia but hadn't lived in GA since college). Dr. Oz lives in NJ but ran for Senate in Pennsylvania. Mitt Romney was Governor of Massachusetts but ran for Senate in Utah.

Does it really matter where you live anymore? Can't you just run for Senate in any state where you choose? Doesn't really seem to matter whether you're a legal resident or not these days.

The Equal Time Rule (officially called the Equal Opportunities Rule) requires that if a legally qualified candidate uses a broadcast station’s facilities — meaning their voice or image appears on air — then opposing candidates must be given equal access if they request it.

I won’t miss him at all, but very disappointed that the reason, supposedly, is that he’s a Republican. If he really is, I think a little more of him.

I’m trying to think of who else has mentioned running for office and retained a tv show. I think it is hard to do both time wise. Did Trump keep doing the Apprentice while running? I don’t watch much tv except games and an occasional movie.

Yes, "for statements about Mexicans". Not because of ratings. In fact, the article you linked references high ratings.

Also, he had already announced, BEFORE the firing, that he wouldn't be returning to the show since he was running for president.


Don't make statements of fact with no facts behind them.

Yeah this is definitely something contractual or agreed upon.

ESPN isn't going to boot him off the air for mentioning a passing interest in politics, especially since I don't think he ever actually confirmed anything, he has just said it's "very intriguing."

But Clay Travis loves to stir up the pot, so I'm sure he will report it however he sees fit.

I'm going off of the issues that many many many other sports journalists have raised about him as a person. I have no idea what his politics are. You're the one who brought that up.

What a weird response.

Are there any other sports topics that you conflate with politics? Can we talk about NFL games or is that woke? What about the baseball playoffs? Do we have to submit our voting history before saying who we think will win the pennants?
