Myers, commenting on Dan Patrick’s Fox Sports Radio show about the flooding in Nashville, said, “It’s a great country here. We have disasters issues when people pull together and help themselves, and I thought the people in Tennessee, unlike — I’m not going to name names — when a natural disaster hits people weren’t standing on a rooftop trying to blame the government, OK. They helped each other out through this.”

Reached by Media Matters for America, Goren said, “There will be internal discussions even though it didn’t occur on our network. … I don’t think it’s appropriate for any sportscaster to be discussing politics, religion, etc. And that point is made in every one of our seminars from NASCAR to football.”

Myers, in his conversation with Patrick, went on to say, “And Mike Helton, president of NASCAR, Tony Stewart, among some drivers went from the race over to the middle Tennesee area, where still a lot of hardworking, tax-paying, legal American citizens have been affected by the floods and are trying to rebuild their lives and they are helping out. And I think that other people around the country, of course, the music industry in and around Nashville helping, without making a big deal out of it and I think that’s a good thing.”
