what golf major championship did Scottie win on the ESPN network this year?

So he wasn’t on there because he didn’t win a major championship on espn this year?

Just so we’re all clear what your argument is.

he isn't on prime time TV on ESPN much.

That's the only reason I can think of why Peyton and Eli, Troy and Joe Buck would be there instead of him.

you guys are so ready to be outraged that the entire image went over your heads

No it didn't. Y'all assume we take it serious. I just wanted to point out that what's supposed to be Peyton looks more like a young Barry Switzer, who is more iconic than either Manning brother.

So your goalposts have moved from winning a major on espn to just being featured on prime time?

Them putting an image of him winning the PGA or The Open or Rory winning the Masters wouldn't fit the promo of all found on @espn

So just to be clear, you’re going with “all on espn” or “all championships on espn” ? You’re seesawing here lol

championships for golf. other sports can have non championship moments because they play at prime time.

you can have a MNF prime time iconic moment like Jayden Daniels beating the bengals.

you aren't really doing much icon shite on ESPN+ at 10am on Friday morning

So an iconic moment in prime time espn from players that likely had other iconic moments in other games maybe not on espn?

And just announcers or talking heads on espn?

and also clearly whoever made it doesn't give a shite about college football so someone from LA/New York probably

I'm guessing LA because Lebron, Luka, and Brink all in the middle.

Ok. Glad you finally agree that people are in the right to be mad about this and laugh at it.

I don't understand why anyone would be mad about it honestly.

if this shite upsets you you should reevaluate your life.

They do promos for college football too....

Do we have to have a perfect balance of college football/every other sport in every espn tweet?

I thought we hated that around here

When you underrepresent one of the most major sports in a promo about “icons” and feature double digit wnba players, yea that’s embarrassingly laughable.

It doesn’t matter what format the media is in lol

People/yeams/orgs/businesses use tweets daily to make statements. This was a really dumb one.

Why did espn take it down, if it’s “just a tweet” ?

And prime time is usually at night, and nights are usually dark. I’ve heard that’s not ideal for golf.

So if you’re now changing the bar to “moments people care about” why are any WNBA players featured?

And yes it’s just a tweet but your people are the ones who consider words “violence” and want to punish people who don’t use the right ones.

Also, pointing out and laughing at absurdity does not equal mad or “losing your mind”.
