They fire a reporter who is Asian because his name Robert Lee might be offensive.
But labeling Trump is just fine.
Essentially Stupid People Network ESPN
They considered two black hosts to replace her for a night but they refused. No other races were
considered. Is ESPN a black supremacist network?

    In the 30s, fascists said “Do as you’re told or we’ll kick your ribs in”. Today fascists say “Do as you’re told or we’ll call you a white supremacist, racist or islamophobe and let the brainwashed college kids kick your ribs in” Fascism has evolved!

    What about Trump's HUD Secretary, Ben Carson?

    Oh, I forgot, Carson is "white" because he went and got his MD. The REAL black people stay on the Democrat plantation, do as they are told, and don't try to act white.

      He is a great roll model for any young person regardless of their skin or ethnicity. So of course he is shunned and termed an Uncle Tom by the loving Libretards.

    Robert Lee wasn't fired....
    That being said, I think ESPN is feeling the commercial backlash they deserve from their apparent support of Jemele Hill's public comments and all the other leftist politics they're incorporating into their daily programming.

      Thanks for the correction.

      Following a social media backlash over ESPN moving announcer Robert Lee off the University of Virginia's home opener football game due to "the coincidence of his name," the sports network's president explained the decision.

      "There was never any concern - by anyone, at any level -- that Robert Lee's name would offend anyone watching the Charlottesville game," John Skipper, ESPN's president, said in an internal memo obtained by CNN on Wednesday night. "Among our Charlotte production staff there was a question as to whether -- in these divisive times -- Robert's assignment might create a distraction, or even worse, expose him to social hectoring and trolling."

      With ESPN's actions this Asian gentleman will forever be associated with the Confederate General.

    so obama was a black supremacist for sure. and he didnt get fired as president.. I am so DONE with this black entitlement. Leave history as it was, and frankly this isnt even racism, its culturism, and if someone does prefer the typical white culture or the black culture, or the asian cultures, whats wrong with that

        I think its ok to prefer different cultural traits, and also OK to not want to be around certain cultures, and its also OK to want to live around people who make you feel comfortable.

        That said, it doesnt mean that its ok to string up people because they believe one thing or another. I dont mind people feeling entitled, but I really dont want to be around them or subject to their demands that I satisfy their entitlement.

        I have discovered a pretty accurate way to determine if a person is someone I want to be around- If they voted for Sanders or Hillary- they are OUT. Its a surprisingly good gauge of where a person is at philosophically. Not 100% perfect of course, but its such an innocuous question to ask to get so much information so easily.

    Persons in high profile positions, especially public officials, clergy, and reporters, are seen as representing section of government they work for, the church which they are involved in, and the news organization that they essentially the face the public sees and hears. No matter when or how they put forth a message, it is taken to come from the organization behind them and if that organization takes no action or selective action that implies some sort of consent. Today awards ceremonies, entertainment venues, an sports broadcasts have become political platforms or opportunities for injecting race into the event which has nothing to do with either. I did not watch the Emmys because it was common knowledge that it would be an anti-Trump gathering, and it was! I do not get my political views from liberal actors because they are only good for reading other people's lines. And in sports, as a great announcer in Pittsburgh once said, "the audience is only tuning in to get the score and the inning!" ESPN has lost its focus. It may be a Disney subsidiary, but if Walt were still around most of those people would have been looking for jobs a long time ago.

    If ESPN2 had not shown the last two Alabama easy peasy college football games, me dino would not be watching anything ESPN.
    Heard yesterday that Coach Saban (methinks to his credit) said he wished that #1 Bama played more harder games than some of those knock-offs that me dino likes to call football practice.
    Then my favorite football team may escape the lib pinhead clutches of the ESPN channels altogether.

      That would be a change of channels.

        Usually at the dinner table after hearing something like that, my mother used to roll her eyes and tell my father that he just told another "Daddy joke."
        Dad would be the only one at the table laughing too.
        This all started before Gilda Radner during the 70s on Saturday Night Live would tell someone, "That's so funny I forgot to laugh."

    This is just another case of lamestream media outing itself in full view, knowing that anyone who objects, even pointing out their racisim, sexisim and all the other isms the liberals love to use, will be immediately labeled a white supremacist hate filled Trump supporter. So how can they lose? The mind of people who believe any of ESPNs BS, will never have enough honesty or logic to say "This is BS, and wrong, and unethical". Just another reason to never watch them (which I do not anyways). It goes with not watching or supporting NFL in anyway either. It goes with not watch CBS All Access after what they did to Axanar, either. We vote with our economics. If politicians truly had to rely on individual donations of less that 100.00, the world would be a much better, and different place. Besides, ESPN has always sucked.....badly....

    The president has white supremacist supporters who he is slow to disavow. At times he really appears to repeat white supremacist talking points. It's not absurd to think he's a white supremacist. I don't think he is at all. His flirting with racism gets his base of deplorables fired up, and that gets some normal people fired up, which gets him his main goal of more attention. That's why he makes an issue of ESPN-- attention. So far it's all been just high outrage-to-importance stuff, but as president he's playing with live ammo. It's not like promoting a product where any attention is good as long as they get the name right.

      CG. I have asked you before to validate your claim of Trumps racism and no response.Now you say "he repeats White Supremacist talking points"
      Please give an example.

      Next ridicules statement you make is the Deplorables ? With 63,000,000 votes how many are deplorable?
      Clintons 66,000,000 votes how many are deplorable?

      Race relations in this country has been degraded by your Obama and his head cocaine dealer Al Sharpton setting back civility by 50 years. Making excuses and blaming an undefined element for woeful educational, economic and social development. Anyone that points out the short comings ( lack of role models , destroyed family structure, culture of indifference to education, entitlements i.e. ) and the real causes of the poor performance is called a racist or if it is black person they are of course an Uncle Tom.(they love the labels). Trump has every right to defend his reputation by calling out these labelers. I hope he is playing with live ammo and damages these Phony civil rights proponents who cash in on a subjective issue that they inflame whether evidence supports it or not.

        " I have asked you before to validate your claim of Trumps racism and no response.Now you say "he repeats White Supremacist talking points""
        I do not think he is racist. I think he says things that sound racist to get attention. Racist groups say he's their man. He doesn't consistently disavow them. When racist violence happened, he fails to condemn it. He's someone not afraid to glibly and condemn groups. He's normally keen to beat his chest against the bad guys. Instead he defends people who sound racist.

        He does this because it gets attention. Racists always assume they'd be outside the mainstream. For the first time they have a president who they say is on their side. Racism is emotional for anyone who's been affected by it. So it's the perfect thing to get people fired up about nothing.

        "Next ridicules statement you make is the Deplorables ? "
        He does appeal directly to the racist idiots of the world. Maybe Clinton appealed to some handout-seeking losers, but Trump seeks to get the losers of the world fired up.

        "degraded by your Obama"
        In short, I think he appeals directly to people who talk like this because it gets attention.
