Those tuning in to ESPN for NBA Draft talk today got a whole lot more than that as host Malika Andrews began the program with a tearful condemnation of the Supreme Court for overturning Roe v. Wade.
Despite the network’s supposed ban on political talk, Andrews kicked things off by attempting to draw a contrast between the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Title IX on Thursday and Friday’s Supreme Court decision stating that abortion was no longer a federal issue.
What any of that had to do with the Magic taking Paolo Banchero with the 1st overall pick is anyone’s guess. But of course, ESPN has repeatedly demonstrated its willingness to make sports take a backseat to politics, which should surprise no one.
What is a little surprising, at least to me, is how brazenly ESPN anchors violate the “stick to sports” edict that ESPN President Jimmy Pitaro laid out when he took over. It’s one thing to have some discussion of politics in those few and far between instances when sports and politics intersect.

Women shouldn’t be commentators on men’s sports.
Well there are women’s sports out there but I don’t know how much ESPN covers them other than when Lia Thomas is in the pool, or was in the pool that is.
Does anyone even watch ESPN anymore?
Their ratings totally collapsed from their woke nonsense years ago. Fox News easily crushes ESPN on cable in ratings.
Why does this user Morgana keep posting links to liberals reacting to the Supreme Court decision?
Malika Andrews: a genius of judicial thought
I don’t watch anything except an occasional F1 race anymore.
I used to watch pretty much any sport.
I know they used to show women’s college volleyball and softball.
All these people and corporations are doing is alienating half of their potential customer base.
ESPN went woke years ago, looks like they haven’t changed.

She’s dating an Irish guy.
Morgana has always posted Pro Life articles, has so for the last 10 years.
Morgana is having gloat-fest right now so bear with her she is over the moon that Roe is ABORTED.
She’s posted pro-life threads since 2007 or so.
It’s the most important issue to her.
To me and a lot of other FReepers I might ad.
Wagglebee where are you tonight? It’s over, Roe is gone.
I know. I was just explaining to the other poster.
Some are mainly God.
Pro-life.
Finance.
Military.
etc.
You’re posting liberal headlines.
Interesting point. Would you say that this has “de-energized” you?
Trump was clearly pro-life. Does this mean this single-issue support goes to sleep, now?
From Breitbart? Dude go drink your coffee and wake up.
“wagglebee” hasn’t posted on FR since 2016.
I’ve posted on and off the last year but I’ve had to take a break. This shit really get you down and depressed. Over and over reading about babies dying, women dying, clinics closing then one re-opens. I mean it takes it toll and I even got nightmares.
Then there was the Kermit Gosnells, Karpens, and f*** things they found in abortion clinics. Sometimes I just can’t do this shit.
I knew this day was coming, I’ve been saying it over and over I even called it here on FR but no one believed me.
It’s here and the meltdowns are off the charts. It’s going to get worse but it’s okay. Roe is dead.
It’s like the worse part is over but we still have more to go.
Yea I know I miss him. He inspired me to post pro life stuff on FR.
Why not take yourself a nice, long break?
