They actually try to make the claim that the teen cheerleading movie "Bring It On" is one of the most important sports movies ever made due to its "thoughtful exploration of cultural appropriation".

JFC, are they serious with this shite?!?

Ugh.

Doesn’t even make it into the top 4 of sports movies off the top of my head.

Slap Shot, Caddyshack, Major League, and Kingpin all come before it.

What amazes me is that these leftist orgs have not shifted as they lost viewers. I remember spending hours each day watching highlights on ESPN in my younger days. Outside of live games, I can't recall watching anything on ESPN. Hell, I don't even know what channel it is on anymore.

ESPN? Is that that new woke arse Black Separatist Network where they deconstruct the role of white systemic racism on the USA all - African American Trans volleyball team? Yeah, no.

I have not tuned in to one espn/fox sports show since March. I don’t plan on ever again. I cringe when I walk into a public place which has those channels on.

"Why is nobody watching our channel or reading our website?"

I honestly can't remember the last time I watched something that wasn't a live sport or a 30 for 30 program for more than a minute on ESPN. It's probably been two years since I sat down and watched Sportscenter.

On a side note, isn’t it funny how cheerleading counts as a sport when they need it to?

The NCAA doesn’t count it as a sport with regards to scholarships and there have probably been more serious injuries involving them than any other women’s sport.

Looks like a Samoan ate the author.

“In America, you eat Samoa.

In Soviet ESPN, Samoan eat you!”

Of course they leave out the fact that the black squad is appropriating cheerleading. And football. And basketball. And have appropriated a school facility that white people built.

Like LivePD. We saw how that went. Perhaps at some point they'll wake up. Perhaps not. Insanity.

GOING full-on stupid?

ESPN has been full-on stupid for almost 5 years, if not longer.

Cheerleading isn't a sport. I dont care if the men involved are ripped and can throw girls in the air.

They're also probably involved in other real sports.
