ESPN today premiered the new three-part ESPN+ Original Series, Up For Debate: The Evolution of Sports Media. Now available to stream on ESPN+, the series delves into the evolution of sports talk debate programming across seven decades–from Howard Cosell to Stephen A. Smith to Cam’Ron–and explores how sports discourse arrived at this moment, why it’s here now, and where it’s going next. 

“We’re diving deep into the heart of the game, breaking down barriers and showcasing the evolution of sports discourse,” says Executive Producer Stephen A. Smith. “From the legends who paved the way to the current Kings and Queens of the mic, we’re bringing you a front-row seat to the passion and intensity that fuel debates in today’s generation of sports. So buckle up! Here we come.”

They force "debate" onto the sports watching public, wait a couple decades, and release a doc about the "evolution" of this forced change.

The ending of the third part of the installment should be someone playing a violin with audible noises from Screamin' A and Thannon.

What kind of fricking dirt does SAS, a self appointed expert who "wins" arguments by talking the loudest, have on the ESPN brass? This dude is now on the talk shows all damn day, is doing studio and location pregame for their sports broadcasts, is in commercials for products not associated w/ESPN, has ESPN showing walk in footage of him at NBA arenas during the playoffs like he's some sort of mega celeb, and is now going to have a documentary that will inevitably talk about how SAS changed sports media?

This is like when Hollywood makes movies about how glamorous and noble Hollywood & their movies are. Like a self suck fest.

I was in a noisy sports bar last week and could still hear Screamin' A over all the voices.

They love sports clips too but we can get that everywhere now.
