It sounds like a tough break for her; sounds like she possibly had a legitimate grievance if ESPN is actually disregarding her contract. While it’s unfortunate for her to frame it as a race thing, it doesn’t seem like something that’s beyond the pale to spitball about in a private conversation.

Kibner posted:It's ok to casually espouse racist beliefs in private conversations? What was the racist belief espoused? It seems she was expressing frustration with and questioning the motivations of her bosses, not with her coworkers. The idea that ESPN management might do dumb things doesn’t seem inherently racist or especially controversial. General Dog fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Jul 4, 2021 |

Dexo posted:Not really, This is standard white person behavior where they think there is no way a black person could have actually been better than them to get the job, and instead it must be affirmative action/diversity/quotas or whatever other loving thing they need to tell themselves to make themselves feel oppressed and not to blame. Maybe it’s baseless, but everyone is going to reach for straws to justify why they got snubbed professionally. Nobody wants to believe they just weren’t good enough. So I think it’s a tough beat to reach for that when venting to a friend or acquaintance and then have it publicized and get castigated for it. I don’t think it’s evidence of extraordinary racial animus in her heart. Maybe just the ordinary kind. On the other hand, you gotta know there’s a risk in anything you say out loud to anyone.

England being in the final was enough to draw me as a first-time watcher.

The ongoing success or failure of Barstool sports seems pretty insignificant in the grad scheme of things.

Was surprised about Jalen Rose getting let go, but I also didn't know they'd let Jacoby go at the end of this year.

The big "ESPNBET" tab that's appeared on the ESPN.com homepage got me wondering- do any of the major sports media sites have an accessibility function for gambling addicts where its possible to turn off any links to betting sites and maybe hide all betting lines from upcoming game graphics? Seems like it would be a nice gesture, if maybe a lot of work.

Remember kids, there's nothing "cool" about any punter, and when we start pumping up guys like McAfee or Araiza, nothing good can come of it.

EL BROMANCE posted:I’m sure it’ll be consumer focused, fairly priced, and won’t have insane blackout locks in place at all! I mean, blackouts aren’t a problem for YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV or Sling, so I don’t know why they would be for this. That said, the price point would probably have to be below $40/mo for me to switch away from YouTube TV since that platform has a track record of actually working.
