ESPN host Max Kellerman blames riots on “extremist right-wing agitators posing as protesters”

ESPN host Max Kellerman said during the sports network's morning program "First Take" that "extremist right-wing agitators" are the ones responsible for the violent riots that have taken place in American cities since the death of George Floyd.

Speaking to co-host Stephen A. Smith, Kellerman said that "93% of the protests are peaceful," though the origin of Kellerman's precise number is unknown. The remaining 7%, he said, were either people blocking traffic, innocents retaliating against police aggression, or radical conservatives posing as protesters.

"The vast, overwhelming majority are peaceful, and by the way, the seven percent that are not, they have a very broad definition of what's not ‘peaceful,' for example if you block traffic or something like that or if you respond to police provocation," Kellerman said. "And even then, a big percentage of that, that wasn't peaceful, is actually outside agitators, extremist right-wing agitators posing as protestors in order to make the protests look bad."

Kellerman's comments come just days after the U.S. Justice Department identified a handful of cities and municipalities that could lose federal funding due to their unwillingness to put an end to "anarchy, violence, and destruction in American cities."

I suspect he’s brown-nosing the upper management for a better gig...................


Kellerman has always been an obnoxious Democrat. He knows who butters his bread: corporate leftists and black athletes.

"93% of the protests are peaceful,"

You know this is bogus when an exact number, 93%, is just pulled out of thin air.

I wonder if he thinks all the Democrat mayors holding back the police etc were secret Republicans too?

Hey Max! I’ve met hundreds of thousands of people over the years. I’ve only murdered 3 of them just to watch ‘em die. Wanna go grab a beer after work?

He’s getting this info from a far left “study” out of Princeton. The study never discloses where the data comes from other than to refer to reporting by another far left source which also doesn’t disclose where the data comes from. Nor is “peaceful” ever defined. The rest of the Princeton study relies exclusively on media reports.

In communist countries over 100 million right wing business owners and farmers got into the ditch and shot themselves to make it look like the “mostly peaceful” communist governments did it.

Walt Disney is spinning in his grave to see what is happening with his legacy. He once chided Anette Funicello for showing too much skin in a bikini, now they have rabid, brain dead lefties pretending to be sportscasters and journalists. In science it's just entropy, everything naturally tends toward increasing disorder. In life and politics it naturally tends toward stupidity, sin and liberalism.

Decades ago, Max Kellerman had a show on a public access channel in NYC doing a call in show on boxing, He was a kid with an encyclopedic knowledge of boxers from the entire 20th century. Fascinating. Nobody who called in could stump him.

Now he's passing himself off as an expert on riots and agent provocateurs?

Well that theory perfectly explains why leftwing mayors and governors refuse to all Trump to come in and put the rioting down. Max is a f’ing idiot.

Max Kellerman is an excellent boxing commentator IMO. However, just like any other sportswriter regardless of their political leanings, I don't want to hear their political opinions. I don't tune in for that.
