How come demographics never factor into white guys getting jobs even though they dominate every industry? What are are also just that much better than everyone? Our merit is always legit?


Please post a list of the WRs, RBs and DBs in the NFL you want released and replaced by white guys to be in line with the demographics of the communities in which they play. While you're at it, compose a list of the NBA players you want thrown out of the league and replaced by persons of non-color.
See how ridiculous your side's positions are?

She has her own fricking sportscenter. Quit crying about people on a message board giving her attention

If he puts my man Manu Ginobili on that list, I will fight him in real motherfricking life.

Imagine if a Sportscenter anchor had called Obama and the people who supported him communists in an unhinged hate filled twitter rant.

They would have been fired the next day.

Par for the course for ESPN. Somehow over the last decade they morphed into an extremist left wing political outlet.

I pity the girl. She is wasting precious time in the game of life worrying about an agenda that doesn't have much purpose in a realistic way.

She has a job at a place that kids in my generation were awed. ESPN was sports royalty. It was college sports heaven, Sunday Night Baseball, and SportsCenter. It was Stuart Scott and Kenny Mayne. It changed a bit through the years, but not enough to make us forget the purpose of the product.

Now? We have anchors who don't report the story, they don't want to make the story, they want to BE the story. That, alone, is quite selfish. To do so by race baiting is even worse. It truly is a shame what that company has become. It's sad, and it's collapse is imminent, whether it be in the form of financial failure or a programming change to appease the true fans.

Jamele is symbol of what is wrong with ESPN. She clearly works in the wrong building, and shouldn't enjoy the privilege of having her opinions voiced in any form for a while.

It is yet another sad day for ESPN, and any fans of the network that brought excitement on the field into our living rooms.

Her place in this world is a curious one. She is losing support even amongst blacks. She's turned the best sports network into her political playground. I hope her family and friends and supporters are blind enough to not see the hate. I wish them peace, but her own agenda will never allow them to find that kind of solace I'm afraid.

i hate trump, and agree that he is unfit to be president, but Hill was completely out of line. She is straight trash. She needs to be fired ASAP, shame on ESPN for not doing so.

I consider myself socially liberal, but ESPN's whole agenda is sickening.

Travis was just on with Tucker Carlson and I have to say it very hard not to agree with almost all of his points on this, especially the business side. That is to the general topic.

Their statement was 100% lip service and simply done to appear publicly like they give a shite. They're probably hi-fiving her at work. What a world we live in.

If she is not fired, I am done with ESPN2, contact espn and let them know how you feel and contact the advertisers and sponsors of her show.

I don't follow.

I meant, are you just going to stop watching the talking head shows like most people, or go the extra step and stop watching the games on ESPN?
