I cannot stand her and her BLM mentality.

Equating these two people is dumbassery of the highest caliber.
Honestly an insult to Robinson and what he had to endure.

Good job of proving their point dummy.

The athletes don't force ESPN to pick a side.

Sorry honey. When he didn't stand, or knelt, all that you should have reported on was what his stats were for that game (if any), and how the teams did.
That's it.
You, and your producers/editors are making the choice to infuse politics into sports.

Did she mention what athlete put a gun to her head and forced her to do this segment?

I don't see how any conservative can watch ESPN other then to watch sports.
Posted on 6/30/17 at 9:59 am to boogiewoogie1978
I am willing to give ESPN a one time pass for their foolishness because they are covering the Rochester football story very well.

Of course its the Outside the Lines team, which is the best journalists they have.

A regressive blaming her failures on racism is the exact reason ESPN is failing.

I also love the Proggie fascination of equating this "diversity" as an act that is only taking place on their side.
GWB nominates the most diverse cabinet in history but was called everything imaginable by Hill's ilk.
Don't get me started on the left's treatment of figures like Clarence Thomas, Sheriff Clark, Sarah Palin, etc.
Hell, two weeks ago we watched a local election where a woman beat a white male and the left lost their collective shite. Labeled everyone who voted for the woman a racist.
Then this dumbass BLM-terrorist loving racist equates Jackie Robinson to Kaepernick?
Yeah, keep it up.

You have to be really naive or willfully blind not to see that her argument is weak camouflage for what's underneath. No athlete dragged ESPN into giving Caitlyn Jenner the Arthur Ashe Courage Award over Lauren Hill. That was ESPN taking advantage of the social climate to push their leftist agenda.

Hill asks us to contemplate what it would be like if Jackie Robinson happened now.
I think that's the problem right there. There are no more Jackie Robinson barriers left in sports anymore, but ESPN and others are so desperate for the next one. They would give anything to be on the front lines of a Jackie Robinson moment. So they do all they can to create a facsimile of it, no matter how small, over and over and over again. Maybe there's a large portion of America that's tired of the Jackie Robinson story. Seeing how it happened, what, 70 years ago?
There are no more racial barriers to break. So that's why they're pushing gender issues in sports especially hard, too.
Lastly, I can't wait until they're finally done making sports movies about the first black people to do something in sports. There's nothing more cliche than a sports movie where a black kid tries to play a sport, then white people tell him, "but you can't play football/basketball/tennis/synchronized swimming/jai alai! You're black!" Then the black kid plays anyway, and we all learn a life lesson. Barf.

Athletes have long known you lose money by being political.
Athletes are apolitical - as Jordan famously said: "Republicans buy shoes too." When asked why he wasn't more political for liberal causes.
ESPN is begging the athletes to agree with their agenda - by asking them constantly - and agreeing with their agenda and platform isn't being political - it's not political if you have to agree or be silenced by ESPN.

What they're really saying is ESPN is now frequently talking about hotbed political issues and overwhelmingly slanting in a particular direction with it, you stupid, race baiting bitch.
The suggestion that people are calling ESPN "too liberal" because they are simply racist or sexist is EXACTLY indicative of the leftist mindset that emanates from their coverage.

She is the worst.
