The more we learn (officially) about Josh Brown & his in house one man boxing sessions, it makes Mcadoo & his outrage/umbrage over Kap & kneeling that much more hilarious.

I do. That’s why I know that depending on where the Bernie bros (and Bernie Breezies) are is EXACTLY why his statement is 100% on point.

Idk if we have to go w/the ghetto to ghetto analogy but yes, soccer is still viewed as an also ran in this country. Especially in non Hispanic minority, lower income, blue collar communities. Even in the Hispanic ones, past 2nd generation it starts to become lower on the list. Few people look forward/talk about their…

“NYPD Internal review still ongoing” If this review board findings don’t result in action what is the point of the board?? It feels like window dressing otherwise.

For Giants fans, unless you have some personal reason for a particular team (hometown, adopted hometown/SO favorite team etc) I think Royals or Cubs best bets.

I think part of that has to do w/ the way ESPN is presented. I would imagine it looks very “American” plus w the way cable/tv is paid done elsewhere prob not that profitable. Add in the entrenched usual suspects...

Even then, only so much. Yeah they could buy a property/icon from S. Africa & repurpose/release it in China BUT the China market, like most overseas markets want what they think are “US properties” I.e Transformers still does gangbusters in China cause the Chinese still view it as/through the lens of “American”.

Also, that Star Wars property you mentioned? That generational deflating isn’t an issue. Disney has the whole generational refresh as an art form. It’s why movies go into the vault. They damn near bank on ppl getting tired of/used to a property, removing it and then bringing it back for said people’s…

Netflix isn’t coming for cable b/c ppl still get their internet from said cable companies. This is what the cord cutters forget- and I love Netflix/streaming etc.

ABC is barely a competitor. ESPN does most of ABC’s sports programming now/functions de facto as ABC sports IIRC. ‘Losing’ MNF pretty much did that. Are they competitors from eyes of ppl at ABC? Sure- but from Disney/the parent company? meh. ESPN doesn’t do series so Abc is fine there, ABC barely does sport so ESPN is…

They don’t “claim” to be apolitical. That’s just it, they don’t claim anything. If someone claims to be apolitical that is admission that a) there is something to politicize, b) that you are aware of said issue & c) have divided others into sides but want to act like you are above it.

Apolitical/silence is often the new tacit agreement. This is why a few years ago when companies started showing support for LGBT/same sex marriage you had groups like focus on the family w their whole “please stay out of this, it’s not a business issue”. It’s like those customer service surveys- to the customer it…

Primarly cause the prime ESPN audience, especially the vocal commenter crowd, does NOT want anything piercing their “stick to sports” bubble of hyper masculinity, homoeroticism and failed high school/childhood dreams. So anything against that grain- women writers, minority writers who even hint that sports are not…

I think those you mentioned aren’t great examples cause due to their time/record they are going to get high pay regardless of where they go.

Niner fan here, and I want to point out that in my completely unscientific anecdotal opinion, we’ve had a sudden rise in this BS from our fan base last 5-6 years due to most of our Latino fan contingent’s influx of Raider fans & Nortes. Many of the latter are the former only now w the Niner jerseys, the idiots…

He hits like Rubio tries to portray himself, Right of center.

If you’re into Vanilla, that demographic means there is quite a few looking for some chocolate nuts mixed in.

Oh so YOU’RE the one that brought the shame to the family./s

So my mom tried to teach me Spades as a child, this was after I foolishly said to her “it’s like Hearts on the computer right?” I got the obligatory Negro please look and was introduced to the magical world of hurt feelings, shit talking & all round fuckery that can result from Spades.

#3 is CRITICAL. My dad wasted a double 12 playing w me a few weeks ago cause he threw that out there and didn’t call it.
