Breh those late 90s to 2000s and early 2010s ESPN was the worse. They were basically crime story chasers. I remember they would do breaking news after every black athlete got in trouble. IMO after that OJ verdict they realized there was no money in covering sports. The real money was covering black athletes getting in trouble.

I mean we had them covering the NBA players sleeping with prostitutes in the strip club story. These clowns literally did an outside the lines report on it. I mean who can forget that story in which they went into detail how Pat Ewing was getting divorced and how him sleeping with strippers was one of the big parts of the divorce. They literally covered the Michael Jordan dead side baby court case with the white women (weekly coverage), the Kobe sexual assault case being covered daily, the constant Adam Jones updates on everything he did off the field, the constant questioning of whether Sosa was on PEDs (while letting Mark ride), the constant questioning of Bonds and PEDs (you had folks on ESPN breaking down the size of his head stating that was due to PEDs), the updates on the Marion Jones and PED use. Then the supernova of daily coverage on Tiger and his side white women, the Vick dog fighting daily coverage and finally the daily hot takes on Lebron after the decision.

It was to a point that ESPN was basically hiring black talking heads just so they could push the hot takes or do the coverage of said black athlete who they deem had done bad....just so ESPN wouldn't look so racist.

I brought it up on here so many times that ESPN was heavy in the anti black athlete machine feeding frenzy that they would cover any transgression a black athlete (or their family had). So much so that on their website McNabb getting a parking ticket for parking in a handicapped parking space was listed at the top of their website ticker. Never mind that McNabb was recovering from ACL surgery and his assistant was the one with the car. Or how Byron Scott daughter getting arrested for smoking weed was at the top of the ticket as well as an article with her mug shot. Or how Allen Iverson step dad was arrested and that was at the top of the ESPN site ticker.

But somehow during this time when white athletes got in trouble ESPN didn't have the same vigor to cover those stories. Even when their kids got arrested for smoking weed...cough cough Bill Belichick son, or when their sons were drug dealing in poor communities.....cough cough Andy Reid's sons. Somehow these stories weren't as important as the ones with black athletes and their families getting in trouble.

That is why I always thought it was hilarious to me when ESPN people (no matter the race) would call Barstool racist. When there own network has a history of racism internally and what is broadcasted out on the air. Like the millions of hit pieces on black athletes isn't racist? Like hiring Rush Limbaugh isn't racist? Like having someone like Bonnie Bernstein compare black basketball players to suicide bombers isn't racist. Just cause you hire some liberal black folks at your network to quote rap lyrics and call out one of two white racist while they are dog catching for white folks when targeting black athletes, don't mean your network isn't just as racist as the rest. You just got sugar on regular shyt as a coverup on who you really are and just cause it tastes good doesn't mean it isn't shyt.

Thanks again.
ESPN had a monopoly for decades, so them criticizing any new sports outlet is just them reacting to the pie being split.
The Shuck and Jive tour that they gave to Pat Beverly to disrespect Chris Paul after those Finals is consistent with that bullshyt that they've been on. Caters to their white male audience. The "he's making so much money" crowd
Some members here buy into and repeat low level arguments and resentment of Black athletes like parrots.

I respect Chris Paul the man, dislike him as a player. But that dislike isn't going to let me cosign sports coverage that's personal. MFers resent the star athlete from high school and carry that over into adulthood. So much that they cosign racially slanted sports reporting.

When I was in serious grind mode years ago, only show I was able to catch was Sports Reporters with John Saunders. Sunday morning. That was a serious show without the hooplah and pandering. And because of its serious slant, it was on at Sunday mornings.

Also, agree fully about the Black faces on ESPN ..who wait for the greenlight to go after approved targets, and scared to speak otherwise. I can imagine them scared to speak, shaking, when Kyrie Irving got in trouble for exercising his free will to recommend a documentary months ago.

Memphis and Nawlins are like the two worst spots to be doing shyt like this. Hopefully dude starts moving right. He is electric on the court.

Maybe a separate thread will cover this but the reason those people are acting like this is because his father is in his life. Were that not the case, every thread about Ja would be assigning the blame to his mother.

"this is how fatherless boys behave, what do you expect"

 

[Ku$h Parker]

Maybe one of them Skrippas was Bad Mouthing his Moms and Ja had to Get The Gat

Cacs aren't held accountable

[Womb Raider]

Morant really a lame ass nikka with athleticism

 

[Kaypain]

Wtf is wrong with this little brother maybe

 

[Consigliere]

This wouldn’t be happening if Silver had actually done anything about the other incidents.

He’s gonna go down as the all time weakest commissioner.

 

[Estarossa]

You don’t need a permit to purchase, own, carry, or conceal a weapon in Tennessee… regardless of that this is still the dumbest shyt I’ve seen from an NBA player worth 100’s of millions of dollars.

I have no idea why slim wants to be seen as some super street nikka… it’s pathetic and he looks like a fukking clown. If he gets touched or finds his way out the league oh well. shyt is bad for business.

 

[africngiant]

reminds me of dudes in my hometown. he needs to calm down and enjoy his 36 million dollars
