Why is this ESPN panel currently discussing politics?

I'm currently watching a panel with Stephen A. Smith that's playing at work and they're discussing the Astro's decision to visit the White House and potential political issues associated with that and the president. Is this a regular type of issue discussed?
I know they've gone full SJW, but I didn't realize they've gone that far away from reporting sports only.

That's actually pretty tame compared to a lot of stuff they've done in the past

Don't complain about ESPN. USA Today's sports page did a big feature this week complaining about the lack of geographical diversity in college football. Too many teams winning from the south. Not enough representation of the nation as a whole.

The funny thing is they can't even see why it is that teams from the south win so much. So in a sense they are promoting racism.

So, are they now suggesting racial "quotas"? Are they suggesting more white players on southern teams or more black players on northern teams?

Because a white republican whom they don’t like is in the WH.

If a player doesn't want to go, fine, just don't make a fuss about it to bring attention to yourself.
If a player doesn't want to stand for the National Anthem, stay in the fricking locker room till its over. Just don't bring attention to yourself in the process.

ESPN and Disney are just tools for regressive propaganda.

I've never thought about it before but it makes total sense now.
Of course they put all those shows on during the day because that is when the SJW, protest, Welfare types are at home while the rest of us are at work. They are just playing to their audience.

It's because the white power structure there in the Southeast corner of the United States demands more spent on its athletics because they wanna see the black man beat up on his own.
All joking aside, it is pretty interesting that the teams that have won the vast number of the last 10 NC's (CFP or BCS) have all come from within about a 5 hour radius of Atlanta . I'm not getting to anything nefarious....just interesting like for a long time the best QB's in the game came mostly from W. PA....I've always wondered though why the West Coast teams are not more dominant...just as big a population to draw from and tons more money per institution

Every Championship winning team who is considering going to the white house to be recognised, faces the possibility of being labled trump supporting racist, bigots, sexist.....etc. So it's going to be discussed every time.
