She'll apparently still work at the fading network -- she's only one year in a "lucrative" four year contract -- but at a vertical called The Undefeated, which is all about the intersection of, get very much this, race, politics, and sports.
It is the common practice of Social Justice Warriors to infiltrate organizations and hobbies in which they have little to no interest -- videogames, comic books, sports, science-fiction awards organizations, all academic fields, etc. -- for the sole purpose of seizing "key nodes and critical infrastructure," as Diversity and Comics notes (echoing US military doctrine), in order to turn non-political pastimes into never-ending propaganda echo chambers -- or destroy them outright, if they cannot be made to serve the regressive left's propaganda mission.
They're deadly parasites for any organization that allows them to crawl inside their bodies.
But these organizations let them in -- hell, they actively seek them out -- just so that social justice blogs and websites like The Mary Sue or Buzzfeed will give them the Social Justice Warrior Stamp of Approval.
Trouble is, as Marvel Comics is finding out, Social Justice Warriors are not consumers of any of these products, and will not buy them even if they have been converted into full Social Justice Warrior propaganda outfits.
These organizations are being infiltrated by Social Justice Warriors not because Social Justice Warriors like them or the cultural products they produce, but because Social Justice Warriors know that non- Social Justice Warriors enjoy these products, and thus these cultural artifacts must be seized and repurposed to serve leftist indoctrination ends or simply destroyed.
If they cannot be remade to be useful indoctrination centers, then they must be destroyed, so that, at least, non-Social Justice Warriors will have one less enjoyable thing in their lives, and may be forced to seek Social Justice Warrior-controlled entertainments as an alternative.
But do tell me how afraid I should be that Donald Trump keeps whining, ineffectually, that he might have to "open libel laws" for reexamination.
Let's keep laser-focused on that while ignoring the widespread subversion of cherished relics of traditional Americana to either serve the left's propaganda efforts or be destroyed from within.
Have you heard of a genre of movie called the "Beautiful Loser" movie? It was late-sixties thing about so-called "beautiful losers," people who just didn't fit into Society, and, of course, who were therefore losers, but were "beautiful" in their loserdom. They felt so much, and had such Integrity in their Losing.
They were beautiful precisely because they were losers, and ineffectual in changing their fates in a Society rigged against them.
I've never seen one of these movies, by the way. I just hear of this genre on occasion.
As I have no interest in Beautiful Loser movies, I also have no interest in Beautiful Loser "Conservatism."
Intel used to be non-political until they hired a phantom SJW to head HR about 7 years ago.
After that, things started to go down hill fast.
Now you couldn’t pay be 3x what I make now to work there.
NFL
If she was a white male or female, she would have already been fired.
Because she is female and black she gets demoted but keeps her
job and contract.
Trump wins again, one by one.
So, does she still work at ESPN or not? This isn’t written very well. I can’t make heads or tails of it.
Yes she is still employed at ESPN. She has a three years left on a four year contract. I guess they did not want to outright let her go and still pay her, so he will be doing tuff of the website.
Maybe they are hoping she will quit!
ESPN’s Mike Wilbon is pretty liberal on race issues but nobody is on his case. I like Mike until he gets going on some SJW issue.
I thought it was just me. And I haven’t even poured a drink yet ; )
I realize that the employer wants to have her work out the balance of her contract so they don’t have to pay damages, but they could have assigned her to a role that involves a broom or a mop so that she could learn a useful skill while she is still there.
Well written?! Hardly. Until I got to the comments, I didn’t even realize that ESPN was involved. The article does not name the employer. This is drivel.
Same thing happened to the company I work for. They feeeeeeeeeeeeel that they’ve created nirvana on earth but the truth is no one dares speak their mind anymore (except for those who, ahem, are poised to eject soon anyway.
I’m with you, Sam. That’s the most poorly written piece I’ve read in a while. I don’t know where the author is comin from or where he’s going.
Wow. That’s some incredibly poor writing.
