They're all jersey chasers. She couldn't bang Rodgers so she banged Clay. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the only reason they get into broadcasting. My experience supports this, albeit only at the college level.

hahahaha There's some hamsterism going on in that article when she's describing her girls night out.

The problem is that networks pay SO MUCH MONEY for the rights to broadcast/cover these leagues/games, that they demand more and more access to the players and coaches. The league commissioners want to promote their league more and more, so they've now instituted the in-game interview in all sports. The coaches HATE these interviews, because they really do interfere somewhat with them doing their jobs. In football, they have to give that "jog-off" interview heading to the locker room for halftime, and maybe another coming out for the second half. It's usually one of these bubbleheads questioning them about some play they called, or strategic move that may not have worked. It's one thing to have a former player with a microphone ask you about that, but it's a whole different thing to have some chick who hasn't been involved in the sport on ANY level question you about something you did or didn't do. Most of them do a good job of simply answering the question, but every now and then you can see how insulted a coach is for having to answer some chick.

Not only that but the banal and shallow questions that they ask during the game really get annoying after awhile. Even the most casual fans often could answer those questions and often times the in game interview adds absolutely nothing to the analytical part of the game. Below is a funny video of a female reporter attempting to get a coaches attention post game and getting brushed off for the trophy ceremony, "Are you kidding me?":

TV has become like one big vagina with antenna. Best to avoid it like the plague. Even sports is no fun to watch. I mean I used to watch cricket...and they dressed the players in pink for breast cancer...something I could not care less about...because I'm a man.

another thing bad in sports is they talk too much about feeling like " how must this player is feeling" and crap like that.

this frustrates me because I would rather hear about tactics and stats on various players and odd of this player pulling or various stats.After all, I do bet on sports, I want to know I the odds.

Like many, the host of "SportsNation" was outraged by the comments made by panelist Stephen A. Smith on "First Take" on Friday morning in relation to the suspension of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice. One day after the NFL announced that Rice would be suspended for two games and fined following his arrest in February for allegedly striking his then-fiancee during an altercation, Smith referenced "the elements of provocation" that victims of domestic violence should be mindful of when dealing with abusers.

Linda Cohn, gone. Edit...she's suspended, not gone.

ESPN Suspended Linda Cohn, Let Jemele Hill Slide

Quote:Last night Outkick broke the news that Linda Cohn, one of the most respected women to ever work at ESPN and the person who has hosted more SportsCenters over the past 25 years than any other current employee, was called and told by ESPN president John Skipper not to come to work after she went on the radio in New York City this past April and said as follows:

“They definitely overpaid for many of these products, whether it’s the NBA or starting up networks like the Pac-12 Network and SEC Network,” she said on WABC’s “Bernie and Sid Show.” “It’s well documented … They [also] did not see that they would lose all these subscribers [to competitors like Netflix.]

But it was more than just that. Politics played a part, as did the network’s move away from strictly covering sports.

I felt that the old school viewers were put in a corner and not appreciated with all these other changes. And they forgot their core. You can never forget your core and be grateful for your core group.”
...

I'll repeat again what Rush has been saying for 30 years, "Liberals are liberals first."

They may say they're pro-women, but when trannies come along, a man wins woman of the year.
They may say they're pro-women, but when a woman wants independence and the great equalizing gun, they say no.
They may say they're pro-women, but they lower standards to get 'more women in the workforce', watering down the perception of real qualified women.
They may say they're pro-women, but when we see a huge disparity in black men on white women sexual assaults, they trumpet out the fake rape case mattress girl and parade her around, watering down the perception of women who were actually raped.
They may say they're pro-women, but when Muslim immigrants in the U.K. are skyrocketing rape rates, they would rather simply not collect statistics on it.

And when a woman crosses ESPN company line, they fire her.

I actually liked Linda Cohn. There was something sincere about her reporting, and she seemed to know her stuff. Could it be, these liberal ESPN higher ups thinks she's too old and unattractive?

Odd to me, because you'd think it would be good for business to keep her on as a pseudo detractor to the Mother Ship. I bet she'd be a good long-form interview like Rogan. I'd love to hear what she had to say, as a 25 year woman employee who made her way with good reporting and not knockout looks.

Breitbart.com has done great write-ups as to what a mess ESPN is with their SJW leanings. The best thing a masculine man can do is cancel his cable and satellite television packages. If you want to enjoy sports, spend $5 and go to your local minor league baseball game. It is fun, affordable and doesn't have any SJW announcers. Canceled my cable tv years ago and am now saving over $120 per month.

Another "whose bitch this is !?"

ESPN Puts A Band-Aid On The Hand It Cut Off

http://deadspin.com/espn-puts-a-band-aid...1809585574

Quote:ESPN’s initial approach to handling SportsCenter host Jemele Hill’s remarks on Donald Trump was supposed to placate both sides, and ended up placating neither. Then the White House called describing the president accurately a “fireable offense.” The network tried a second take Wednesday night, which isn’t much better.

Hill released a brief statement in which she didn’t apologize to Donald Trump for calling him a “white supremacist”—good—and regretted dragging ESPN into this situation, even though the company did that itself.

ESPN released its own statement, accepting Hill’s “apology”:

" Jemele has a right to her personal opinions, but not to publicly share them on a platform that implies that she was in any way speaking on behalf of ESPN. She has acknowledged that her tweets crossed that line and has apologized for doing so. We accept her apology."

In theory, ESPN can now move on while Hill gets berated and harassed online by possibly fake 50-year-old Trump voters named Tammy—a clear win for nervous higher-ups at the Worldwide Leader. In practice, opportunists who are impossible to actually appease will, having extracted two groveling apologies from the network, go out in search of another.

Curt Shilling gets fired but this bitch tweets an apology and gets away scot free.

ESPN is going get some backlash from this - their going to piss off alot of their demographic.

ESPN isn't fucking CNN but sure as hell tries to be.

Inside the NFL had some completely uninformed bitch sports typist on who tried to equate Kaepernick and JJ Watt - both are doing things outside of sports - Kaepernick is vilified and Watt is praised. Therefore, America is racist and white people just want brown people to shut up.

Of course it can't be that Kaepernick is whining that America is racist and that's why no one wants him, while Watt is raising money for hurricane relief.

Then Ray Lewis chimed in and said Baltimore was ready to sign Kaepernick until his girlfriend tweeted this:

Another bitch fucking things up...

In the wake of the Jemele Hill nonsense, Skipper said this. Essentially, ESPN is about sports, let's stick to sports, not politics. Except whenever you can find any excuse to start talking about politics, then you're fine.

Liberals don't see anything as non-political. To them, the liberal agenda is just natural, any opposition is what's political. In Skipper's words, pushing his liberal agenda is "human, not political".

I pretty much stopped following sports and watching ESPN about ten years ago. They hadn't become over the top political at that point, but one day I realized I was basically just watching a bunch of guys gossip like school girls about athletes. At its best - even absent all the leftist political bullshit - ESPN is just celebrity gossip for men. Entirely pointless and actually quite embarrassing to partake in, much less obsess about, when you look at it like that.

Whenever I am unfortunate enough to catch a glimpse of ESPN these days (airports, restaurants, etc...) I can't believe how bad it is. They seem to have a rule now that there MUST be a woman and/or a black person on screen at all times. They have women talking constantly, the vast majority of whom come across as ignoramuses. The conversational topics are an idiotic combination of gossip, trivia and SJW nonsense. Honestly, who is watching this crap? Who do they view as their target market? It's hard to think of an organization that became SJW converged more swiftly - and which has suffered damage correspondingly swiftly as a result - than ESPN. They will literally be a case study in the future for how businesses can be destroyed by prioritizing political considerations over their core competencies and mission.

Apparently ESPN tried to either boot or suspend Jemele Hill, but her co-host (sjw black) reduced to do the show unless with her.

Then they offered the jobs to their #2 lineup of anchors, who are also a black woman and a black man, and they chose to stick to their SJW roots rather than gain primetime notoriety. ESPN really fucked themselves--it's good to see the backlash they're getting.

And don't forget the backwater internet stream sites where you can watch games live. Sure the feed quality can be a bit lousy (and you have to watch out for questionable ads depending on where you go), but it's a lot cheaper and the selection of games is a lot better.

I just turned on ESPN to catch some highlights. Lo and behold, they have two ladies( I didn't catch the names) attempting to break down the college football playoff picture. They didn't use Kirk Herbstreit or Lee Corso, they had two women. WTF?

I had to turn that crap off. ESPN is dead.

How many times have you walked into a room and heard two women talking about the offensive line for Alabama, discussing their inability to pick up the blitz? Or, about the linebacker corps at USC, and whether or not they can cover the pass effectively? Those are rhetorical questions, naturally. The answer is none.

ESPN is weak and pathetic. Their lack of balls for not taking swift action to fire the diehard Liberal cunts is so laughable and amusing to see as the network continue to decline. President Trump is unafraid to say "YOU'RE FIRED!". ESPN? Eh...just a bunch of warnings.

ESPN Warns Against ‘Political Bias’ With Social Media Policy Update, Violates Policy on Same Day

Quote:ESPN has often warned employees against displaying political bias on social media, but rarely enforced the rule expect against its conservative employees. Now the network is again reiterating its warning about bias in an update of its social media policies.

After several high profile cases of liberal bias by employees, ESPN has again noted its desire to have employees avoid exhibiting bias on social media. In a note to employees, the network warned its journalists to “refrain from discussing politics when using platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.”

“Our engagement on social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram should be civil, responsible and without overt political or other biases that would threaten our or your credibility with the public,” the policy says according to Fox Business Network. “Do nothing that would undercut your colleagues’ work or embroil the company in unwanted controversy.”

The updated social media policy is not much different than past proclamations against bias on social media, a policy that many ESPN employees have ignored with impunity.

Most recently, ESPN host Jemele Hill ignored the past proscriptions two times in a matter of only a few weeks. Early in September, Hill jumped to Twitter to call President Donald Trump a “white supremacist,” a posting that earned her some criticism but no action at all by her employers.

In fact, not only did Hill receive no punishment from ESPN for breaking the company’s social media bias policy, the CEO of ESPN’s owner, Disney chief Bob Iger, intervened to make sure she got no punishment.

Only weeks later, Hill was at it again posting a series of tweets essentially calling for a boycott of ESPN’s advertisers to facilitate more NFL national anthem protests.

For the second violation, ESPN levied a short two-week suspension of the host.

In fact, Thursday evening, the same day the network announced the new policy, day ESPN host Sarah Spain took to social media and called the rogue Twitter employee who temporarily shut down President Trump’s account, “Hero.”

Still, all these liberal ESPN journalists have received favorable treatment, indeed, compared to how the network treated several conservative employees over the last year or so.

Last year, for instance, former Chicago Bears great Mike Ditka was removed from ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown after he said that Barack Obama was the worst president in history. And former Boston Red Sox star Curt Schilling was similarly dismissed by ESPN’s bosses after several conservative-minded posts to social media, the last one concerning the debate over transgenderism.
