There's a football game on NBC, and y'all watching this? What happened to "I hate ESPN?"

Well for me I feel like it's important to understand the community around me and learn their point of view to be able to relate and sympathize. But if it's going to be a complete bashing on the police than there's no goal to understand on the side that is anti-police.

LOL, Did you see the ad ESPN ran for this show? No way it was going to be fair.

I didn't see any of the ads for it or anything and was hoping it was going to be somewhat fair. I've seen a couple things since the riots that have been very informative for me. This isn't one of those things

What was unfair about what Marcellus Wiley was just saying?

I applaud you for doing that

Haven't watched it yet. I ended up recording it. I'll look to see if it gets decent reviews and I'll go back and watch it.

Mike & Mike got into this a few mths ago, the idea of ESPN bringing politics into the sports world. Their take was that it is now a part of American culture...sports & politics mixing...and it only makes sense for a network like ESPN to have programs on it. My question then & now is that why does ESPN only have liberals like Hill & Jones presenting their points of view on a political sports issue? Note that Curt Schilling was fired and he was a conservative. And yes I know why he was fired. Hill has made several similar mis steps yet is always ESPN go to person for sports/political discussions. Jay Bilias is the only ESPN "expert" on the issue of paying athletes & he is as liberal as any one out there.
