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."

Laughable, we have all seen the extremist left wing anarchists who are doing the burning, looting and murdering.

If Kellerman were talking over some new NHL rule, or the impending retirement of some NFL quarterback, or the economic spiral of MLB...maybe I’d listen to the guy. Usually, when I turn on a sports show....they chat about sports.

When all this ‘smoke’ is over with, I would like for ESPN to either dissolve away into nothing, or be forced to be strictly sports.

Is it true? I heard a rumor that - once upon a time - ESPN used to be all about Sports. Football, basketball, stuff like that.

Instead of being leftist political asshats shilling for dumocrats.

Yes, just recall the timeline of the left's talking points.

  1. June: There is no widespread violence.
  2. July: These are mostly peaceful protests.
  3. August: Well, they are 93% peaceful.
  4. September: The 7% which is not is being stirred up or provoked by right-wing Trump supporters.

Max Kellerman is a d-bag. The good news is, with no interest in sports, no need to watch ESPN anymore.

Max Kellerman, shocking us all with a mainstream liberal take! What a huge surprise. Sarcasm.

But they’ll keep saying it until it become common knowledge just like Charlottesville. Truth and facts don’t matter anymore, only what the media and the Left repeat over and over matters. And eventually it becomes the truth and facts that people believe. Even video documentation does not suffice.

Did the peaceful leftist protestors do anything to discourage the rioters?
