They dont care about those comments, right now is good PR to shit on Trump so is worth the hassle. Not that i disapprove.
Building good publicity off of bad publicity, it's the American dream.
Yeah, I doubt there is much downside to them doing this. There are probably only a handful of people who are thinking "well, that does it, no more ESPN if they don't support Trump." In the meantime, like you said, they pick up a bunch of media mentions because of this decision.
As a Mexican-American, I'm just loving that he's burning all of his business relationships for stating and doubling down on some pretty indefensible stuff.
As for the comments themselves, all I can say is that Trump has likely never personally known any poor immigrants, legal or not. He is completely unaware of the struggle to abandon everything you've ever known. To leave your family, friends, language and culture, to go to faraway lands for nothing more than the possibility of a better life - not for yourself - but for your children.
I agree, he has no idea of what they go through. He's just insulting them even though they probably work harder than he ever has, it's sad that a lot of people tend to agree with him when it comes to immigrants. I'm glad that so many people are standing up to him and making him pay for what he's said.
Those courses are his pride and joy, too. This will probably effect him more strongly than anything else.
