ESPN Hatchet Job

Posted on 04/26/2014 3:52:54 PM PDT by stirrinthepuddin

First, please allow me to qualify my remarks by saying that I myself am a 'half and half', obama look-a-like individual.

A lot of times, no matter how politically correct I try to make my thoughts come across, to some .. it just doesn't matter!

Now to my rant?

I was listening to espn this afternoon (my bad) when all of a sudden the host went on a tirade.

Of course it was all about the Donald Sterling fiasco!

Without going into all the details let me just say that after the host's complete, politically correct .. I am a white guy who is offended tirade, he went on to call on an 'expert' on civil rights and racism .. Al Sharpton!

Al Sharpton thinks that a suspension and fine is not enough for Sterling, Sharpton wants to dismantle the Clippers and put all of the players up for a draft!

As expected, Nothing about Sharptons affinity for racism!

I am wondering .. did anyone else hear this show today?

What happens if I say racist remarks about Whites?

What happens if I make racist remarks against Blacks?

I live in both worlds but find myself defending my White half much more often than my black half!

Can you be a racist if you are half and half? 8)

I believe that the world should be neutral!

You don't like blacks then that is a personal choice and there shouldn't be a 'penalty' for saying so!

Same goes if you don't like whites, hispanics, asians etc. etc.

We got Hate Crimes laws passed because people found the way an individual 'Thinks" is offensive!

I, for one am tired of the White Guilt society that liberals have created.

Live and let live!

The only thing worse than watching sports is watching people who never played the game talk about it.

Wasn’t it her old man that enabled pedophilic faggotry in order to have more better sports?

Because sports are more important than little kids getting buttshagged by perverts?

THAT widow?

Your rant is deserved. Would they (the race pimps) endorse dismantling the business of a black racist? Duh, no.
They are as racist as the worst hood wearing night rider of old.
Thanks for your words.

I guess that what set me off was .. the broadcast was a radio show.

I called and was on the phone for a good forty-five minutes.

When the screener finally answered, I told him what I wanted to say to the host in regards to Al Sharptons remarks .. He (the screener) hung up! 8(

Interestingly this may be coming out because of a lawsuit filed against Ms. V.

Excerpt: The wife of Clippers owner Donald Sterling filed a lawsuit Friday against a woman she alleged had a sexual affair with her husband.

The suit filed by Rochelle Sterling also alleged that the woman, identified in court documents only as V. Stiviano, was also given lavish gifts by Donald Sterling, including property and cash.

It’s the NBA that needs to clean its act up buddy, affirmative action with a quota system for Hispanics, Asians, Whites, Native Americans, etc.

So?

It is a free country.

Should he have his team take away?

Should the Al Sharptons and Jacksons of the world be allowed to profit from those remarks?

Should (And When?) will the leftists (And Blacks) be held to the same standards?

Plus, surely we can be rather sure there must be instances where players call each other names, the same word you hear in a lot of Rap music.

NFL has said they are going to try to cut down on “N-word” usage but that measure is probably going to be tabled.

From what I’m hearing, Sterling said something like he doesn’t want his girlfriend to be seen with Minorities, Blacks and Hispanics at games. I got the gist of what he said.


Harry Caray (spelling) long-time Chicago Cubs baseball announcer once said “the players are paid millions to play a kid’s game”.

This incident is unfortunate but Sterling had his privacy invaded, maybe not illegally but I’m not hearing Sterling using racial epithets.

I’m not sure why this is considered a “hatchet job.” Isn’t there a recording of Sterling telling his girlfriend not to associate with black people?

I used the term hatchet simply because that is what they have been doing ALL day!

Chop, chop, chop .. “let’s make sure that everyone knows that ‘Whitey’ is a racist”!

Whether or not they took anything out of context wasn’t really my point.

It is just the fact that they NEVER do the same ‘in-depth’ racial slurs reporting when it comes to minorities!

You still doing that “projection” thing? Go seek help. Your neighbors should also obviously be aware of your proclivities as well.

” I haven’t figured out the difference between the General Chat and the Blog/personal category? “

I’m still trying to figure out if General Chat was in the Army, Air-Fore, Marines or Salvation Army.
