You do know COON is also considered a racial slur towards blacks. I've heard plenty of racist call blacks COONS or refer to Martin Luther King as Martin Luther COON.


Except Greenberg's was obviously just an accidental slip-up, unlike like Rose.

I don't think Rose should be fired, I'm just saying.

Talking about Jemele Hill. FirstTake with Stephen A Smith and Shite Bayless is at least somewhat entertaining, like 2 monkeys on steroids fighting for banana but the Skip and Jemele combo is just downright unbearable..she needs to go, she brings absolutely nothing to the table is so ignorant and turns everything into race. B**ch

Yeah you're right if Jemele gets a hold of this board she'll call me out for being a racist and Borderline Kkk member. Even though I think that's a very fair assessment of how SAS and Skip act lol

I'm almost certain the reason that she's still employed is that ESPN fears that she'll sue them for discrimination if they do fire her.

She's employed because ESPN knows it pisses off white men which in turn they'll keep watching and listening to her to see what the mad black woman will say next. Which in turns keep the ratings up, keeps her name out there on message boards like this.lol. Not hard to figure that out. Lets have a smart mouth uppity arse educated black woman on that white men hate. ESPN gets a kick out of that shite...Hell I laugh at it.

I'm pretty positive ESPN and Jemele have received some interesting tweets and emails.

I mean a network as big as "it that shall not be named" has to be able to get wind of how their analysts are percieved to the population right?

I mean I've heard people back Skip and SAS they do appeal to some people, but I've NEVER heard anybody say anything positive about this woman

ETA: Just flipped it on, Skip needs to chill on the botox. It's blatantly clear

The drunk black dude who almost kicked my arse a couple of weeks ago disagrees with this statement.

He broke into a conversation I was having with a friend with zero understanding of what was going on. Not to get all political, but I disagree with "Martin Luther King Day" and I one hundred percent support "Civil Rights Day". I won't bore you with all the reasons or anything like that, but lets just say he thought I was a racist or some shite.

Might wanna rethink that. Mike Greenberg from Mike and Mike said "Martin Luther COON" and didn't get suspended or fired but he did apologize.

ETA: You can look it up on yahoo search.



But that was not him calling Martin Luther a Coon, it was a slip. What Jalen said was not a slip of the tongue.

The more taboo racial remarks become, inocuous or not, the more race will continue to be an issue

Gronk's dancing was more offensive than Rose's comments,but of all the sock puppets at that network-he's right at the top of the worthless list.

I was totally ambivalent about the guy until I watched The Fab 5 documentary.He's a tool,bigtime.
