Support Your Right to Bear Fish

ESPN writer Robert Montgomery claims Obama is going to take away your right to go fishing.

Jeffrey Weeks explains why ESPN should be ashamed of themselves.

In what may be the worst example of outdoor sports reporting in the history of America, ESPN has claimed that President Barack Obama is on the verge of banning recreational fishing.

ESPNOutdoors.com writer Robert Montgomery posted an article today claiming that the administration's decision to end the public comment phase of the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force means Obama is likely preparing to issue an executive order outlawing recreational fishing in America.

And yet, Robert Montgomery presents his case that it is about to happen as if it is the most likely thing in the world.

ESPN should have to provide some answer for why they allowed this irresponsible article to be published under their logo.
