It’s a shame that this is even a topic of conversation and we regret that who calls play by play for a football game has become an issue.

Whose fault is that?

I mean his is what we said would happen. And so many people said it wouldn't get here. We are honestly closing in on the South Park episode of what whites will have to do in order to repent their privilege.

This is officially the dumbest SJW moment in human history. I heard this story and - knowing every ridiculous thing that I know - still said to myself "no way... that isn't true".

It's true. I'll be damned.

This proves that George Washington is going to be legitimately under fire. If SJW's are this fricking dumb than literally nothing is safe.

Nothing

Safe

SJW

Leftist

Fascist

SCUM.

ESPN needs to collapse into oblivion. Why the hell are they acting like this is no big deal?


b/c it really isn't?

a dude got switched to a different game in a misguided attempt to be respectful after a tragedy. big deal.

This story is so freaking retarded. I'm hardly ever triggered by anything, but this might do it for me.




I hope you dont go around complaining about people who get triggered by stupid shite b/c this is right up there on the nothingburger scale.

There goes any notion that ESPN is some liberal organization; this inane decision did more for the pro-confederacy/monument movement than any institution, etc. could possibly do. It's so bad it's like they are trolling those who want these statues gone.

I dont know whats funny, the irony of this whole situation. You literally couldnt make this up

Or all of the MSB posters who are so outraged over this . Yes, people its stupid. But as long as this guy is not losing or missing out on a paycheck, it is literally not that big of a deal.

I want to know why they released a statement in the first place?

No one fricking knew who was on the call for the UVA football game in the first place. Just make the change behind the scenes and no one will ever know or care.

Westcoastag has to feel pretty stupid. Like two days ago he was saying the slippery slope thing with the "fantasy slave trade" didn't exist

Someone at ESPN leaked it to Clay Travis. I have no doubt they were doing it quietly.
