What is "The Undefeated" on ESPN.com and does anybody give a shite about it?

I guess this is that weird blog thing that took Grantland's place, but is it only for black people? Does anybody on earth give a shite about it? Did espn think they would?

Grantland was never going to do anything but lose money for ESPN either, and that wasn't the point.

They're hosting a very important "Town forum" on ESPN soon about racism. Hosted by Jamele Hill. Exactly the kind of stuff I want from a sports network.

You're not entitled to ESPN.
Most everyone has turned against the network for all but live sports coverage long ago. Like 15-20 years ago, even. What does it matter to you?

Jamele Hill is a race baiting count.
I don't think I've ever heard her make a sports argument without bringing up something about race.
I'd rather to listen to Mike and Mike than watch or listen to anything she is on.

I'm a big Marc Spears fan, so I at least give some of a shite about it.

That's a valid statement... Until you see how much worse it can be with FS1.

Unfortunately, ESPN has a monopoly on most major sports broadcasts. Especially college broadcasts.

I would imagine the content of what a subscriber is paying for matters a great deal. And your 15-20 years is a pretty large exaggeration.

You give enough of a shite to start this thread apparently. Tell the people forcing you to go to that website to stop please. Make sure you get a thank you from ESPN for the free advertising.

Are the articles well written? I've never read one
Posted on 8/23/16 at 7:26 am to Giantkiller
It's not meant to replace Grantland at all. More of a African-American perspective gathering of writers and articles.

I think ESPN got boxed into a corner of having this site come to fruition and that's part of why they killed off Grantland, so they could roll some of those financial losses into this one.
Grantland was obviously a much more worthy project, but in today's overly PC climate they probably get more bang for their buck from The Undefeated.
Happily, Simmons was able to essentially re-create Grantland but the problem is I can't take his politics right now. Who knew Bill Simmons was such a rabid leftie BTW? Hopefully I can shrug this off after November and enjoy his site - I can't take him or his echo chamber of snarky young liberals right now. I just... I just can't, mates.

I didn't even know anything about it until you, admitting you don't give a frick about it, brought it up.

That's fair. I just see it all the time on there and it irritates me. I love sports and I also love people of all race, religion, and sexual orientation. But I don't understand why SJW culture has to be forcibly partnered with sports coverage.
I want to watch ESPN. I want to like ESPN. I just wish they didn't try so hard to change the world. Who asked for this from a sports network?

You could have just assumed he was a rabid lefty without any evidence, and you'd have a 90% chance of being correct. He's a media figure from the Northeast. This is the case for the media in general. Right wingers are not suffered in that world. And if any are exposed as conservative types, they're run our on a rail unless they keep their mouths shut. Especially at a place like ESPN.
