Does ESPN not pay their African American on air talent as much as white on air talent?

The only African American that I've seen on ESPN's layoff list is Len Elmore. Are there others that I just haven't seen? There could be a deeper, more serious issue at ESPN that we are just now being made aware of.

I hoped and prayed that they would get rid of Michael Smith and Jamele Hill. That fricking 6 show is such BS. None of the people on my long list of shitty ESPN personnel were laid off.

Exactly. It's just like a camel spider. You're either a camel or you're a spider - you can't be both.

If true, this will definitely help turn around ESPN's popularity problem on this board.

why don't you do that research on your own? Then Google what their work force demographics are and see if the rates are too far off before you're "triggered."?
Until then stfu

Can't we just call them Americans? Or we could refer to whites as European Americans.

As previously stated, I looked through the list and only saw one African American listed, Len Elmore. I know you and the other one are trying to be internet tough guys, but answer the question. Who else?

How are we trying to be tough guys? I gave you the link. I only scrolled through for about 30 seconds and saw three black people that had lost their jobs. I'm sure if you spent even three minutes looking at the list, you'd have your answer.
