The only reason for the coverage is because he is black.
He was a terrorist on the list. He killed children in schools and bombed police stations . He was convicted of 14 murders. He is not to be celebrated. His country went down the tubes. Everyone of value left it. I will not watch this pagan crap.
Mandela is universally adored. Why create ANY controversy to hurt our side? Let Obama take his wife, mother-in-law, boss (Jarrett) and 1,500 "friends" to Africa, spend his $50 million and help bury the dude, and then slam the crap out of him when he gets back.
Other than killing people for entertainment, what did Nellie have to do with sports?
mandelas dead
huh
do a little dance...
the world adores child murderers I guess
Listening to classic rock channels on XM radio. Talking about Mandela. I pay for this service. I want to hear music not some moron rambling on about world politics. Gonna dump XM and go with Pandora.
Mandela South Africa what does this have to do with sports and America? come on it is getting sickening with back to back coverage on mandela. Why doesn’t ESPN cover Billy Graham or another televangelist that just recently died. I do not give a rats backside for Mandela
Why not , they did the same thing for Urkel’s inauguration.
This mandala loser is now a dead commie terrorist. I bet he is with teddy k roasting.
Fifty years too late, of course.
That’s why I’ve pretty much stopped watching sports - like just about all other institutions, it too has been co-opted by the left.
yeah huh but you gonna talk or you gonna dance
The religion never stops. Steady drumbeat.
In Mandela’s own words, what a loser:
“In our own country, the struggles of the oppressed people are guided by the South African Communist Party and inspired by its policies. The aim of the S.A.C.P. is to defeat the Nationalist government and to free the people of South Africa from the evils of racial discrimination and exploitation and to build a classless or socialist society. . . .
Under a Communist Party Government South Africa will become a land of milk and honey. Political, economic and social rights will cease to be enjoyed by Whites only. They will be shared equally by Whites and Non-Whites. There will be enough land andvhouses for all. There will be no unemployment, starvation and disease.”
We were at a Sports Bar also tonight and we all said the same thing “ What’s up with the coverage of Mandela on ESPN.” ESPN interviewed a lot of black sports figures saying how much they respect Mandela.
Hussein was just paying respects to a fellow enemy of western civilization.
More than that. Apartheid South Africa was the Left's cause celebre in the 80s. And Mandela's release, and subsequent rise to power, was their biggest victory since the Civil Rights era.
Funny, he wasn’t mentioned at all during the Rangers/Sabres hockey broadcast! :)
