XTRA Sports 690 San Diego: Is Mychal Thompson a paid republican shill?

[Zorra]

I am visiting a friend near San Diego, and he listens to Xtra Sports 690 on the radio in the car all the time. There is an announcer on the Loose Cannons program named Mychal Thompson that used to be a professional basketball player.

Anyway, every time Mychal Thompson is on all he does is shill for Bu$h. It is flat out sickening. As soon as he starts spouting his uninformed fascist opinions my friend changes the station. Mychal Thompson is like the Rush Limbaugh of sports announcers, and we call him "Uncle Thompson".

Today he interviewed a boxing promoter name Don King and Mychal Thompson and Don King were just about orgasming over how wonderful Bu$h is. Apparently Don King is a convicted felon who has been in prison for manslaughter, killed another man besides that one, and has been indicted for other charges. So I'm not surprised that he supports a crook like Bu$h.

Anyway, I don't really understand why a sports show host has to constantly shill for Bu$h, unless someone is paying him to do so, which I strongly suspect. If anyone else has noticed this, please email programming at XTRA Sports 690 and ask them to tell MT to stick to talking about sports, because he doesn't know shit about politics.

1. I liked that station when Romey (Jim Rome), was on it.

But you are right, it is a GOP shill station now.

2. Well, that explains why "Bells" doesn't live in Portland anymore

Sorry about that, San Diego. Mychal's a former Trail Blazer.
