Why is ESPN having a heated debate over the confederate flag right now?

Do they not even try to stick to sports anymore? Hopefully they continue to fall

The best thing is they will be slobbing Alabama's dick the first weekend of football.


That will such an awkward moment for them.

They need to have the talk sports guy who calls into After Further Review to bitch at Mascona do the same for ESPN.

I can't stand ESPN anymore. I used to watch it to get away from all the political shite. Now it's just another SJW shite producer.

This is nothing new. It's like an extension of CNN with all the discussion on racial relations on there. It's sickening

Stephen A. Smith is the worst. The biggest shite stirrer of them all.

My BF tweeted one of the commentators the other day and said, "ESPN on sports is now the equivalent what MTV is to music." He was answered, "That's cold" lol

I may be way off base here,but I bet most of their writers,producers,personalities,are Northern Sports Fans,and maybe would like to start steering the better athletes away from Southern Schools.

It's just a talking point,they really don't GAF about any of it at all.

He's absolutely right.

ETA: I wish SEC football games would get picked up by other networks so I wouldn't have to watch any ESPN stations.

This.

ESPN has been headed this direction for years. I haven't watched anything but sports or documentaries on that family of channels for at least since that award was given to Bruce Jenner for whatever the frick he did that was so brave and courageous.

Part of it is I just don't have the time to sit and watch ESPN, either.

If the TV is on, it'd better be entertaining me. ESPN waxing political doesn't entertain me.

Netflix does.

Or HBO Now

I'd almost argue that Kellerman is worse than Smith.
