The poster child of everything wrong with ESPN. She probably violated ESPNs social media policy again but she has immunity due to her skin color.

Hey Jemele... consider it people expressing their First Amendment right, like the dumbass anthem kneeler you support.

Exactly.

Will be interesting to see how big media tries to twist themselves into a pretzel reconciling 1A for one but not the other.

She’s why we don’t watch ESPN. What a loud mouth. How about a go-fund-me page to ship her to some African country where she never has to deal with Whites..and vice versa.

Nope....

Dateline 7/2/2015: DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — NASCAR's national series tracks announced Thursday that they are asking fans to refrain from displaying the Confederate flag at races following the deadly attack at a South Carolina church two weeks ago.

This is EXACTLY the "official" response I would expect from a governing body of a sport, and exactly what the NFL should have done with the kneelers.

Now, enforcement is a different story, but officially, NASCAR is on the record saying "don't", so she doesn't get to say they "support" it.

I saw one of the original General Lees in the Washington state Lemay Family Collection (in Stanoway) a couple of weeks ago. I say “one” because I think there were 250-300 of them total used in the show (kept crashing them).

Confederate flag included.

I was surprised by that, but I guess I shouldn't be. He knows not to pee in the tent.

Whatever he might believe personally, after this season is over, Dale Jr. starts his "basically an entire new career" working for NBC.

PGA golfer Bubba Watson has one of the General Lee cars, unless he’s sold it in the last few years.
