Tatum Girlparts posted:Yea I read it more as 'ha ha he missed a lot of stuff' given the contexts of the other things he said. I don't really know the guy's work so maybe I'm wrong but that seemed like a clumsy joke more than 'gently caress you Jenner'. We've gone over this before but his work was basically 'holy poo poo this is interesting as hell and I'm glad I read it!' at first and for the last decade or so has been 'gently caress you got mine and I'm doing no actual research, also I'm a racist jerk.' I agree this was a joke but he's sucked for a while.

For all of ESPN's problems (and there's an assload of them), it's good to see OTL still holding up well and basically calling out ESPNW and ABC on buying into Hope Solo's redemption bullshit E: If memory serves, they also kinda called out Stephen A. Smith and others for trying to soften Floyd Mayweather's image as well. They seem to have taken over as ESPN's ombudsman.

Are e-Sports actually becoming a legitimate thing?

GobiasIndustries posted:Are e-Sports actually becoming a legitimate thing? Why are these on the front page of ESPN with the NBA/NHL finals are going on? In monetary terms they're pretty legitimate given that an upcoming annual international Dota 2 tournament just beat it's own previous record prize pool of almost ~$11M and may surpass $15M or more (it's mostly crowdfunded from in-game purchases and there's still almost two months to the tournament), which puts it well ahead of all the major golf chamiponships (~$9-10M each). Whether or not they constitute a sport is a different story, but ESPN has televised poker forever and even random poo poo like cup stacking so...

It does make sense. If it can get even a little traction it's cheap filler for their networks. Kind of like how they've used poker over the years.

I get where you're coming from but GobiasIndustries posted:Why are these on the front page of ESPN with the... NHL finals are going on? ESPN cares more about a lot of poo poo than they do the NHL. I'm pretty sure college quiddich will eventually get more coverage.
