I hate ESPN political shite more than most but that speech was pretty decent.

They mentioned cops being killed, Orlando, black neighborhood violence, and asked athletes to use their influence to help rebuild violent communities.

Also, they requested to do it on their own. ESPN gave them permission but it was the idea of the players, who are 4 close friends.

Actually thought the ESPYs were decent last night. No dude getting award for cutting dick off and the Dobson and Sager tributes were tear jerking. Eric Berry thing was good too.

Chick basketball player was worst part

Yeah, I mean I could have done without it, but if you're going to do it, that was decent enough. The only part that frustrates me - and this has more to do with the narrative than anything else - is the they continue to lump guys like Michael Brown and Alton Sterling with Philando Castille. The only thing those kind of cases have in common is the color of the vitcim's/perpetrator's skin.
