It bothers me that they feel the need to defend themselves over Twitter. Heaven forbid they hire people they think are best for the job.

STOP.
frickING.
WATCHING.

if you are truly so bothered, stop using them. Otherwise, your bitching is hollow and useless.

This.

People bitch about ESPN constantly, but they still watch the channel.

Stop watching them.

A couple things..

1)My god thats racist as shite.
2)whats worse is that The Athletic responded as if it were a legitimate concern that they were working hard to remedy.

And the pussy editor immediately grovels:

Thank you for holding us accountable, Marc. I commend ESPN for all they’ve done to promote diversity. I also promise you we are doing the same. The Dallas site launched three weeks ago and our roster is nowhere near filled out. It’s a priority for both the company and myself.

He should check the contributors over at the ESPN owned “The Undefeated.”


I don’t see any white folk complaining about them...

I love the dude who commented he identifies as a trans pool noodle and deserves a job at the Athletic to promote diversity.

Then flip to NBATV. People need to stop acting like ESPN is the only sports network on cable

Yup. I still watch ESPN for college football coverage, but otherwise there’s no need. MLB and NFL channels are better alternatives.

I've heard of the Athletic but can't say I've ever read an article or visited their site. Although I don't watch or visit ESPN either soooo....
