More Cuts at ESPN

Add NBA reporter Marc Stein to the victims' list (I think Deadspin and Awful Announcing are keeping lists) ... and the Twitterverse is not happy.

 

I don't think podcasts have cannibalized that much. But how many times have you gone to the internet and watched a highlight that 20 years ago a fan would have watched on SportsCenter?

 

An all black SC at 6 pm. I think clay Travis is a shit stirring carnival barker, but who thought this was a winning formula? Ya can't say such things without being accused of being a racist or a sexist, but no one asked for these two. Their popularity has been foisted on people.

 

Good talk shows are good talk shows, regardless of the race of the hosts. I've seen terrible shows with two white hosts.

That said, I haven't seen the show enough to know how good it is.

 

I've missed the last 2 weeks or so and will miss much more till softball season is over.

I've watched enough episodes to say that on a scale of 1 to 10 it's usually between 5 and 6 in quality, some days a 7 or 8.

 

This is so you.

 

Yes it is. Honest and unapologetic -- not racist and sexist or worried I'm gonna offend some thin-skinned idiot. So sod off, ya trump humper. Until ya cite actual evidence of me being racist or sexist -- not some moron's definition of each, which is what you get from @TyWebb or @fartshart (@SnarkShark) -- you're the twit on this board who makes it his life's work to make apologies for a guy who brags about sexually assaulting women. You are the misogynist. Go look upon the actual definition, Steinbrenner. And share it with the other morons, too.

You, a freaking muppet for all the vile shit that has been unleashed by the candidacy and now the presidency of Donald trump, have the audacity to disparage me as a racist and a misogynist. Fuck. You.

 

I cite this as actual evidence you are racist.

 

Then you're a moron. In fact, I think your brain has been "kidnapped." Man, people are so dumb about race and sex. I am talking purely about numbers. Who on earth decided the 6 pm viewing crowd wants to hear from Jemele and Michael? No one. It's activist programming. If they succeed and their ratings are great, then I guess I'll be proven wrong. I asked earlier how many people got purged from the undefeated in this bloodletting? Haven't heard a single name. Why? They certainly aren't moving the needle like SAS. But yeah; can't bring up these matters without being a racist..:fuck that. Now go learn the definition of kidnapping while the other mopes look up the actual definitions of their cherished buzz words

 

Who would decide the world wanted to hear from two white people on the 6 p.m. SportsCenter? Would that be OK? Or is Jemele and Michael the only decision that would register as unusual?

 

This guy really just criticized "all-black" SportsCenter and gave no reason, other than the fact that it has two black anchors.

And then asked for us to "cite" evidence of his racism.

What is the bar for your racism scale? You standing next to a black guy hanging from a tree giving a thumbs up?
