As long as the NAACP gets involved it'll be okay. Stupposedly the guy in question is Asian so that may reduce the chances of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson making an appearance.

Is Bob Ley screwed?
Robert E. Ley is an American sports anchor and reporter for ESPN. A multiple Emmy Award-winner, he is the longest tenured on-air employee of the network, having joined ESPN just three days after the network's 1979 launch.

Wow. It is true. That is crazy. I wonder why ESPN doesn't have an article about it?

Seriously? You must be new to this. Google ESPN political agenda.
That was some of the dumbest conspiracy theory and propaganda I have ever read. Oh no ESPN isn't close minded bigots, must be a liberal agenda.

Obviously there's a lot of people that have that perception of ESPN or Google would have umpteen pages of links on the subject.

Actually, folks have always used Sports as a "getaway" from the daily grind/politics/life's issues.
When the sports leader thinks it can influence it's viewers with this bullshit they receive a
large..."Fuck you." from half their audience.

They have a difficult time counting and comprehending. All they had to do was read that
65% of white men in the country voted conservative, and then comprehend that it is realistic
to believe that men make up the bulk of their viewership, and the majority are white men.
At the minimum, you tell your announcers to remain neutral in any discussions about this
stuff, and avoid it whenever possible.

They're just not very street smart

Wow! You actually think Caitlyn Jenner is as attractive as Melania Trump???? So much so as you can't distinguish them from each other??

Those sunglasses in the Avatar must be darker than we think
