Considering Trump called Obama a racist and invited a dude who advocated killing both Obama and Hillary to the WH this is pretty rich.

Double oof. Good on Michael Smith and the two other hosts ESPN employs for saying gently caress off though: quote:ESPN originally tried to keep Hill off the air on Wednesday evening, but Smith refused to do the show without her, the sources said. Both sources also said that producers reached out to two other black ESPN hosts, Michael Eaves and Elle Duncan, to ask them to serve as fill-ins for the show — but Eaves and Duncan did not agree to take the place of Hill and Smith, either.

Stick To Sports is a lovely retort the vast majority of the time but this is the case for it. The TV president has picked a fight with your network and now people will you pick a side in the culture war.

Stick to Sports is generally Stick to sports unless it's something I agree with. No one told JJ. Watt to stick to sports when he raised money for Hurricane relief(not saying it's a bad thing) No one tells the NFL to stick to sports when they make comical amounts of money from the Breast Cancer "awareness" bullshit.

Yea it's basically a form of respectability politics that tries to restrict political speech on topics that don't confirm existing power structures. The NFL is obsessed with integrating the military and law enforcement into their sport. It's political but Cowherd/fatboy Whitlock aren't out complaining about it because it's just assumed that these organizations are just and apolitical. E: when sports media decide to "stick to sports" they are admitting to being complicit in whatever issue they are ignoring. They're normalizing it so people can go about their day and not worry about how their consumption of sports/opinions on sport related issues may connect to broader political issues.

It's never a good case to not stand up against the relatively rare actually literal infringements of the first amendment.(a president putting pressure on a company to fire someone for their speech is p much the exact definition) gently caress being cowardly. You want to be cool, and rebrand all your shows to be more "urban" get more minorities watching ESPN, but when those people talk about what they see, and their problems, you simply try and bus toss them, at the president's whim, and then just say oh we'll find another negro to replace you. ESPN can gently caress off. Shout out to the other Black people at Bristol who were all going to quit before allowing ESPN to just replace Jemelle and Michael

Bill Barber posted:She's an individual citizen. She didn't make any of these statements during ESPN airtime. She's entitled to her beliefs and the ability to express them. She (and probably all of us that work for any large company) had a social media clause in her employment contract that restricts what she can say on social media to avoid situations like this. That said, it's outrageous that the White House Press Secretary would advocate for the firing of someone just because they criticized the President.

The "stick to sports" stuff is weird because it's saying that only people in certain professions should be allowed to state their political opinions. Like the person saying it on Twitter is a plumber or something and has 10,000 tweets on politics on their feed.IMB posted:I am going to revel SO MUCH in Clay Travis' inevitable Marriotti-esque fall from grace Fall from what? He's incredibly small time and I don't understand why people keep giving him attention for this poo poo.

If CNN actually thought they were going to get serious discussion out of loving Clay Travis, maybe they're the ones who deserve the most poo poo in this situation. My main takeaway is that Brooke Baldwin needs to find a new network, just over a month ago they brought on a Sons of Confederate Veterans dude who mansplained her over and over and said Lincoln was basically Hitler, which she also had to cut off.
