    Why are progressives always selling the product of everything is racist? I highly doubt this show will discuss the marginalized and underrepresented people in the NFL, NBA, track and field, and boxing. And isn’t the host that guy who essentially stole nearly $50 million?

    Why is a sports network getting into social issues?

    Will they be highlighting the fact that blacks are so over represented in sports?

    That doesn't count.

    Only "White people bad" counts.

    Wait what? They are actually going to look at basketball and declare the most represented race has racism on its side and that there should be equal representation of races? Are they sure they want to do that? Colour me surprised.

    They can’t help themselves, and it pleases the dwelling audience they attract.

    It’s like going to Trump rally. Disney has become one big echo chamber.

    The new motto for the Disney theme parks is, “The wokest place on earth.”

    Come see Cinderella and Snow White with a mustache!

    Most of them were billionaires themselves when they became owners. Remember Trump couldn't even get into that good ole boys club.

    ESPN has been a joke for many decades. If not for the cable monopoly, they would have been gone long ago.

    You have it backwards. Of course the white supremacist who dominate the ownership of basketball are more likely to exploit the bodies of black players for their profit.

    The more we do to eliminate any racism in the USA the more certain groups and certain individuals complain about racism. We need to start ignoring these complaints. It would also help if our lazy liberal media, our no-backbone political leaders, our un-informed captains of industry, the hide-under-their-desk professors/teachers, and the thousands of liberal sheep would stand up against these complaints and point out where they are radical, foolish, and not taking place. Any one person of any one race can practice racism and that happens -- but we are not a racist country -- period. To say we're racist is to play into the hands of the people who are trying to take down our country.

    No, that’s merit. Diversity hires on the field would expose to everyone how bad diversity hiring really is. Some diversity hires stand out for their incompetence and insane behavior, the mistakes of other diversity hires are often buried or hidden. We may never know if the guy who designed the brakes of a bus that went off a cliff was a diversity hire. But we would recognize the failure of diversity hiring if some NFL team put a 350 pound tranny on the field as a defensive back.

    Ok, how about a woman defensive lineman? That's diversity.

    Do you know what diversity hiring is? It’s when you hire someone by the boxes they check and not merit. Athletes are hired on merit, Obama, Harris, Butti, Brinton, etc were not.

    If you don’t understand that then you probably never will.
