ESPN’s controversial anti-Trump star Jemele Hill announced her intent to eventually walk away from sports to create content about “women of color” and to help dismantle institutional racism. “Somebody needs to step up and save us,” Hill said during an in-depth conversation at OZY Fest on Sunday.

Oprah already has this demo cornered.

They used to call this sort of rationalization of failure “being philosophical”.

ESPN is largely unwatchable. They are going overboard with diversity. If the pundits were doing a good job, it wouldn’t have been noticeable. But it becomes hugely noticeable that diversity is ALL they care about when the announcers are as awful as the three I saw.

My son had ESPN on the other day and they were doing a sports roundup ... very mediocre talent with extremely poor communication skills
- Indian commentator who led MC’d the show
- Female ex-softball player to discuss Major League Baseball
- Heavyset balding, black man to talk golf

The commentary was largely flat and uninteresting. The pundits seem to trip over their own thoughts, with large gaps of silence as they struggled to formulate their next sentence.

Awful

The deep underlying cause of this event and many other similar ones is that human races are supposed to be separate.

What exactly should we do to her satisfaction? Her goal of those race baiting stuff was to dominate other races

That would be Jessica Mendoza. I actually feel sorry for her. I think she has worked very hard at becoming a competent broadcaster. But ESPN has put her in the no-win situation of providing color commentary for Major League Baseball, a game she has never played. No way she can really compete with men who have.

You know, it would be hilarious, except for the fact that they want to impose, by rule of law, this nonsense on normal people.

Not using the “desired” pronoun will eventually, if we let this metastasize, result in a prison sentence for an “offender”.

“The Undefeated”. Can’t bulieve ESPN is wasting money on that. Never heard of the website until now. Just checked it out. I see why it’s irrelevant.
