[quote="“FlamingLiberal”" post="“477220185”"] This is especially stupid because the only people whining about her Trump comments are literal white supremacists. [/quote] Nah, your average Trump voter doesn't like it either because even if they don't like what he's been doing in office, you don't want people to think you voted for a white supremacist. They're mad because of how it makes them look, so they just call her a racist because they don't know what else to say, and it fits in the purview of "talking about race divides us, so black people should be quiet."

Kind of credits Sam Ponder for picking the perfect time to get back at him for what he said years ago. you know what, i'm just gonna pretend it's ESPN letting Sam Ponder plan out an incredibly elaborate prank to gently caress with Portnoy.

Are you saying this article is furthering a misogynistic construction since they find it exceptional and newsworthy when a woman travels and works on a holiday? i think he's saying (through use of sarcasm) that the article is an example of a woman working just as hard as a man, thus disproving that old (false) adage.

I've watched yesterday and today's episodes of Around the Horn and Tony Riali gets an A for his coverage and commentary of the Nassar trial. I haven't seen that much coverage of it on ESPN aside from his show and the Outside the Lines episode. And its been the same kind of around the news network. Turns out when a giant orange gasbag is about to shut down the government, coverage of other things falls by the wayside. I'm very curious how NBC is going to handle it over the course of the Winter Olympics. They would have a great excuse to avoid it completely since it's the Winter Games and gymnastics is a summer event, but they lived so far up the rear end in a top hat of the Karyolis every four years that it would be a shame if they didn't come out and say "you know what, we were wrong, we were covering these people while they were covering for a monster and we hosed up."

Vertical Lime posted:https://twitter.com/richarddeitsch/status/956985749156585474 Jemele is a Michigan State grad, I wouldn't be surprised if she saw all of the great journalistic work being done around the program and its spectacular implosion and had a desire to do more important work than hosting Sportscenter. I can't imagine how it would feel to watch the school and athletic program that I went to and worked with for years and years and still had pride in turn out to harbor a coverup this disgusting, and it's probably made her rethink her relationship with sports in general. Her article about the Nassar trial and MSU's reaction (which was written before the OTL report, which makes things so much worse for the school) are worth reading. She mentions being friendly with Kathy Klagies, I'm sure she had some sort of relationship, even just a press/subject one, with Izzo as well, and possibly Dantonio depending on when she went to school there. edit: it bums me out because I really like her as a host, and she and Michael Smith have great chemistry, and it stinks to lose that. Knowing that it was her decision and didn't have to do with ESPN further retreating into the assholes of regressive shitheads makes me feel better about it. Now you know what you have to do ESPN: Give Katie Nolan the job she's meant to have.

MourningView posted:He immediately dropped 40 on someone which rules. But there are also guys like Mike Martz (still getting his QB absolutely anhilated on 7 step drops in 2019!) and Mike Singletary coaching. It seems like in general they went big names rather than guys who actually understand modern football. I'd rather try to poach a lower division college coach with an interesting offense. they probably wanted the big names to prove to people that there is support and bring in people who might otherwise write it off. I'd guess that most of the coaches there now won't be in 2-3 years.
