Daily ESPN sucks and pushing their agendas

Don't normally watch ESPN, but flipping through NSD coverage today and landed on ESPN because of the Miles segment.. well following it..
They have a white woman and two black males on here.. Talking about how there is a lack of black quarterbacks in the NFL.. and Hannah Storm says this is something we NEED to talk about. They proceed about how the college game doesn't get most of them ready for the NFL or the NFL coaches don't feel they have enough time for them to fit their system. Then Hannah further tries to sound politically correct or whatever by saying we don't have enough black coaches, etc. She goes out of her way to not look racist that it's so force it is cringe worthy. Even the other two on the set aren't even as caring as she is about it..
I'm sorry, I don't understand why we NEED to have this discussion. I am so sick of hearing about race. I really am. This isn't progressive. If you are good enough, you will play in the NFL. Period. This isn't the 50's or whatever. Coaches aren't having racist bias in today's time. My goodness we don't hardly have any white running backs in the NFL.. Do we NEED to have this discussion too? I am so sick of the double standard with race.
Any ways, back to not watching ESPN and having a better day again.

I am SO SICK of people here bitching about being tired about discussions of race.

The whitest coach in the NBA got fired with the best record in the east while many black coaches have failed horribly this year and still have their jobs.
Funny how the 2nd longest tenured coach (the goat being the longest) is Marvin Lewis, but media ignores that...

Stephen A Smith has been calling for him to be fired for the last 5 years.

You should be packing your shite and getting ready for ST, Yunel. Bigger things to worry about than this.

And when he gets fired for a white guy, how will SAS respond? I bet angrily

Bill Plaschke does the same bullshite. He tries so hard to be offended by something for someone else. It would be fine if people made those arguments and I actually believed that's how they felt. But every talking head on ESPN just comes off as so fricking disingenuous that it has t he opposite effect on me.
Another example was people like Schlereth and those guys bashing the Saints for head hunting and dangerous play and preaching safety when the guys of that generation were far worse than people today.

ESPN is garbage. Every time I try to give them another chance they get even worse.

That' debatable, at least in football. I don't really follow the other sports to know if there is a minority hiring issue.
The biggest issue that has started to come out this year about minority HC's in football is the lack of minority assistant coaches & Coordinators. You can't get a HC job until you have proven you can excel at those positions.
Is there some bias about promoting minorities to Assistant HC & Coordinators knowing it will keep minorities from being qualified, I doubt it. But, there is such a large discrepancy that it has to be considered.

Grizzlies fired a black guy after taking them to their lone Conference finals appearance.
