Racism On a Bun: ESPN Says President Served It Up to Clemson Football Champs
newsbusters.org ^ | 1/17/2019 | Jay Maxson

Posted on 01/17/2019 9:11:49 AM PST by rktman

With a charge of racism Wednesday, ESPN TV's First Take talk program unofficially launched its third season of Trump Derangement Syndrome. All three members of the leftist-heavy program took potshots at President Donald Trump after he fed fast food to the national championship Clemson football team in Monday's White House reception. First Take has been battering Trump (see here, here and here) ever since he became president two years ago.

Molly Qerim, the facilitator on First Take, alleged it's racist to serve fast food to a mostly African-American football team:

"I don't know. I guess I took it very differently when I saw him giving the football players, predominantly black sport, and fast food. My thought went a very different place."

OFFS! esp-huh? Seriously. So, if you care and want sports news now you have to tune to, what, cnn? Politcal incorrectness is permeating everything these days. So, I guess it's a good thing I don't watch any of it.

It’s not as “racist” as ESPN having all morons and maggots working for them.

Would it have been better to serve them food of their culture? Collard greens, hush puppies, chitterlings, and a watermelon dessert?

Imagine if it had been Summertime, and watermelon was served!! or fried chicken! or tacos!

Actually, it didn’t matter what he served. They were going to trash him no matter what.

To show our commitment to fighting against “toxic masculinity” maybe we should all stop watching sports-oriented television, starting with the Worldwide Leader.

For those who don’t know, sports journalism is to the left of mainstream journalism. I know it’s hard to believe that such is even possible, but they manage to out-leftist even their leftist relatives in political journalism.

So it’s bad if someone hits one into “right” field or someone swings wide “right”? Right tackles need to be renamed.

People will say or do anything to get their 15 minutes of fame. Of course, it has to be bigger and better than the last fame seeker or nobody will notice. Molly has figured this out. She will be the center of attention until the next, even bigger idiot spouts off.

We won’t even get into the sin of assuming the genders of baseball positions.

What about the white or Hispanic kids, if any, on the team? How is this not racist toward them? And if Trump truly wanted to be racist, he would have had Popeyes chicken. I seem to see Popeyes chicken restaurants ONLY in ghetto neighborhoods. This is just more pathetic anti-Trump garbage, hanging on to the most minute opportunity to trash the president.
