ESPN announcer Rebecca Lobo caught herself this weekend after saying having differences of opinion is "what makes America great." We don't know if she was apologizing to the dozens of WNBA viewers on ESPN or to her boss, but she said she should have rephrased that praise of our country.

She was teetering on the edge of going full MAGA, but stopped herself at MAG.

There's probably some overlap between the WNBA's fans and the "America was never great" crowd.

There's a very long list of things that make America great. They probably have it printed out for ESPN announces as phrases to avoid.
