I didn’t ask Colin Kaepernick to kneel. He did it on his own. So, was I supposed to act like he didn’t?

I think about Bill Russell, Muhammad Ali, Billie Jean King. Today we find ourselves with Colin Kaepernick.”

I cannot stand her and her BLM mentality.

Is Jemele a boy's name or girl's name?

Equating these two people is dumbassery of the highest caliber.
Honestly an insult to Robinson and what he had to endure.

Good job of proving their point dummy.

The athletes don't force ESPN to pick a side.

Sorry honey. When he didn't stand, or knelt, all that you should have reported on was what his stats were for that game (if any), and how the teams did.
That's it.
You, and your producers/editors are making the choice to infuse politics into sports.

Yeah, this guy is so leftist he doesn't understand that ESPN moving left has nothing to do with the athletes .

I don't even have a problem with them reporting what he did.
I don't have a problem with them saying what HIS reasons were.
None of that required they pick a side.
But, many of them DID.

Did she mention what athlete put a gun to her head and forced her to do this segment?
Posted on 6/30/17 at 9:56 am to boogiewoogie1978
I don't see how any conservative can watch ESPN other then to watch sports.
Posted on 6/30/17 at 9:59 am to boogiewoogie1978
I am willing to give ESPN a one time pass for their foolishness because they are covering the Rochester football story very well.

Of course its the Outside the Lines team, which is the best journalists they have.

A regressive blaming her failures on racism is the exact reason ESPN is failing.

It's a complete slap in the face to them. What barrier is Kapernick breaking through?
That sums up the Left's fantasy to recreate the Civil Rights era and the 60's.

Really? People wth your leanings HATED Jackie Robinson in co back in the day.
So what's your beef?
