Dave Zirin: Mitchell Report: "a breathtaking fraud."

• (If your dream job would be working for ESPN/MLB, you should probably move along):

"And this is the problem with having George Mitchell at the front of this report.

• George Mitchell is on the board of directors of the Boston Red Sox.

• He is on the board of directors of the Walt Disney Company, which owns ESPN,

• which is the number one broadcast partner of Major League Baseball.
• I mean, this is like having Dick Cheney head up an alternative energy conference.

It just doesn’t hold water, and to me it stains the entire report."
