ESPN’s Matt Barrie Defends The Masters Against Cancel Attempt

SJ - April 5, 2021

ESPN's Matt Barrie wasn't having anything to do with attempts to cancel the Masters. After Major League Baseball decided to get political and pull the All-Star game out of Atlanta, calls to get the PGA to pull the Masters out of Augusta started.

One of those calling for the event to be canceled is Keith Olbermann. The former ESPN legend dropped a video with the #BoycottTheMasters hashtag.

Barrie responded to the video by telling Olbermann to "shut up" and pointing out where he was launching the boycott from.

Shut. Up. #centralparkpenthouse https://t.co/VCSU2vTwBR

Most of the time I can't tell if Olbermann is serious or pulling off one of the best troll jobs of all-time. The fact that he's kept it going for so long and has managed to build up a decent sized bank account off of it only confuses things further.

I guess Olbermann really believes what he's saying, which at times is extremely hard to believe. Barrie isn't going take calls to cancel the Masters from Central Park penthouses.
