WFAN's Boomer Esiason Attacks Algerian Olympic Boxer As A Man
Former NFL MVP quarterback, CBS Sports and WFAN radio talk show host Boomer Esiason went off the rails after his partner brought up the weird new NFL kickoff rules which somehow triggered him attacking female boxer Imane Khelif.
The attacks on the transgender community by the right have been awful and in Paris they are reaching a monstrous crescendo against two boxers including the one from Algeria.
In the opening monologue, co-host Gregg Giannotti expressed his displeasure at the new rules the NFL has imposed for the upcoming season. Esiason then discussed how the NFL doesn't show any "big hits" replays and then went off. To say Gio was not amused is an understatement.
Boomer: And videotapes opening NFL today that showed all the big hits of the week before, I understand they don't even do that anymore.
So I know the way, and by the way, you know, you talk about, Oh, you know, back when you were a, Hey, they got, they got a man in the goddamn Olympics fighting women, busting up her noses.
Gio: We will get to that because I don't know what's going on. I mean, this was insane.
Boomer: We'll get to that later because we talked about it yesterday, but I'm just saying that, you know, not in every sport are they really worried about well, that's participant safety.
