They just had a commercial saying that they are “proud to champion black owned businesses”. Someone please explain to me how that is NOT the pure 100% definition of racism? Disgusting

Their commercials are all over the place. The commercials with the black tranny pitching AIDS medication is just weird. Not in and of itself. I get that if you’re a black tranny, you probably better do a little maintenance on the AIDS front.

But how many of them are watching college baseball at 11:00 am on a Saturday?

What market are they trying to reach?

I think the funniest commercial is the NCAA commercial talking about how only losers harass student athletes. These guys aren’t student athletes anymore. They’re professionals making professional player money.

Barkley and Shaq said they aren't "F-ing around coming to ESPN." Tells me both of them aren't going to stand the woke BS. I'd be shocked if both of them last 1 year before getting fired for not pandering to the nonsense.

If they said they don't support xxx owned business then I would agree.

You guys get upset over such small trivial things

Meh, not saying something can mean plenty. To actually claim you are giving an award to four businesses with the only qualification is they must be black owned. IMO, until people start pushing back on this shite, the country will continue to take a step back. The only reason I watch ESPN is for sportscenter

That’s not even close to what they were talking about. They are talking about the format that ESPN has shifted to, which is click bait discussion shows that draw YouTube clicks.

And that’s rich coming from Shaq. Easily the worst part of Inside the NBA. He doesn’t watch a second of basketball outside of when he’s in the studio. He couldn’t name 20 active NBA players

It is kind of related to be fair. Listen to anyone that’s ever left ESPN. You better fall in line and be a company man to have the privilege to work there. They do consider themselves the world wide leader after all.

Why do they continue to kiss the arse of black American? At least do it quietly vs plastering it all over their shows and firing everyone that has an ounce of “right” in them. I wish there was another channel that I could get my scores and highlights from.

For normal people, the above statement qualifies. I’m sure it’s tame for you and your ilk.

Yeah, that one gets me too. They're trying to put the blame on people getting upset for losing money on gambling.

Nothing said about the gambling part itself. Implying that the NCAA is perfectly fine with gambling as part of their curriculum.

There is it's called Youtube. Almost every sporting league puts their highlights there.
