re: ESPN Layoffs Begin - ZERO On-Air Talent

You have yet to prove that the reason Baker Mayfield is getting so much bad air time is because he is white.

For the 5th time, it's hypocritical to give it as much air time as they did, call for him to be benched, lecture the audience on how "it's a slap in the face to competitors everywhere" and not cover Flowers at all.

Interesting, you must ESPN on a daily basis for you to be noticing this

Recreational outrage.

These are everyday working class people getting fired while the millionaire talent is untouched.

Easy there. They laid off 150 people and every report has stated the savings are $80, so that's about $500k per person.

Let's hold off on calling them working class.

You think ESPN doesn't talk about it? Sweeps it under the rug because he's black?

I think they talk about it, then most of the company totes the message "people are overreacting because he is black"

If Mayfield were black and Flowers were white, the conversation would be the exact same now with Mayfield dominating the coverage and no one giving a shite about Flowers.

I'd go the other way and say if Mayfield were black it's plausible that some at ESPN would treat him more harshly for his "thuggish" behavior.

Every day I wonder how much farther you can get from reality without realizing.



And every time you post, you set that bar a little higher.
