ESPN anchorwoman tells audience: 'F--- Jesus' ESPN, ABC Refuse to Take Any Action Dear Karen, ESPN and its parent company, ABC, have refused to take any action against ESPN anchorwoman Dana Jacobson for her hateful, slurring remarks against Jesus, saying "F-- -- Jesus." On January 11, Jacobson was speaking at a celebrity roast in Atlantic City, N.J., when she unleashed a profane tirade, saying, "F--- Notre Dame," "F--- Touchdown Jesus" and finally "F--- Jesus." "Touchdown Jesus" is the popular moniker for a statue of Jesus raising his arms, located on the Notre Dame campus. Catholic League president Bill Donohue spoke with ESPN about the attack and received an e-mail from Jacobson which basically treated the incident as a non-event. The statement said, in part, "I respect all religions and did not mean anything derogatory by my poorly chosen words." Jacobson's comments were at a public event where she was representing ESPN. The fact that neither ESPN nor ABC has taken any action against Jacobson indicates they have a bias against C hristians. Donohue said that Jacobson should be fired. This anti-Christian bias of the networks is becoming commonplace. Actress Kathy Griffin used her appearance on the Emmy Awards program to tell Jesus to "suck it," responding to athletes who thank Jesus when they achieve certain levels. No action was taken against Griffin.
