Not trying to play straw man here, but this seems like the kind of thing that would be ending the career of a lot of other personalities at the network, or at least jeopardizing it

CharlestheHammer posted:Stephen draws eyes with his hot takes I’m sorry, but that’s a lovely double standard. It’s a “hot take” that other people wouldn’t be able (and SHOULDN’T be able) to express. That’s not a hot take, it’s a racist one, and it’s not the first time he’s expressed anti-Asian sentiments like that.

People aren’t tuning in for anything they’re doing but live sports and First Take. Stephen A is gonna have a job there until either he gets bored of raking in money hand over fist or strokes out with his final word being “blueberries” as a single crab Rangoon slips from his hand.

I never used an English name instead of my very obviously Asian birth name even though I moved here in elementary school. I'll never forget going a pretty senior interview and being told at the end by the guy interviewing me that "my English was a lot better than he expected". Stephen A said some stupid poo poo but I didn't really read it as anti-Asian. He probably would've said the same poo poo if it was a Spanish-speaking player that used a translator. Calling for the guy to be suspended/fired is just stupid. Let him show contrition and learn from his mistakes.

I’d actually love for him to be fired and then join the alt right and tour with Whitlock and Shapiro.

On the bright side I’m sure the thousands of shrugging dipshits saying “well he’s the best at what he does!!!” as a defense of SAS and his ilk are totally gonna stop defending him now And also on a somewhat related note I am glad Dan Lebatard can’t cut to first take sound any more. Has made the show slightly more listenable

I don’t read it as specifically anti Asian, so much as anti English speaker and anti introvert. Like somehow someone isn’t a complete sports star, or a draw worthy of marketing, if they can’t verbally spar over a press conference. Shades of Naomi Osaka here.

https://twitter.com/MilesGarrettTV/status/1414960429655281676 I'm not about to defend Steven A because he deserves that poo poo, but it's very funny to ya boy how SAS is forced to eat crow and take it on his own show. Meanwhile the entire Jump crew was outchea defending Nichols just as if not more racist statements.

Was curious how this compared to the World Cup and was kinda shocked at how high the WC final numbers are. 18m for 2018, 27m for 2014 and 25m for 2010. Interesting to note that before 2018, the broadcast was on Univision + ABC/ESPN and in 2018 it was Fox/Telemundo.

I don't know what it was about the timing or marketing or what but I'm super casual about soccer and found myself watching from the group stage and made a point to catch nearly every game of the knockout rounds and really enjoyed it.

Australia is probably one of the 3-4 best teams in the tournament. But with Nigeria people are acting like they all grew up in huts and used old milk crates for hoops when the whole team went to high school and college in the US.

For a lot of Americans, soccer seemingly only exists during the World Cup - I'm the office "soccer guy" and a lot of people would come into my office asking if I'd been watching "the FIFA" so I guess it makes sense that that uber-casual audience is starting to bleed into the Euros.
