  1. And that's why my response, many posts ago now, was: "fuck espn."

    Possibly but in this case, this channel, a channel "in decline" nonetheless, is doing everything it can to try and be just a sports news channel. Do you think they are being naive?

    And the worst part ...? Stripe is fucking incredible. It's seriously a game changing platform that makes my entire life possible. It's the best payment processor I've ever seen, it's not close, and it's going to just keep being massive. It's already changed the internet.

    Ugh.
     


  5. I like when they're mad.

    All of cable is "in decline" and ESPN is still apart of a cable package owned by Disney that was a $4 billion entity in 2016. They forfeit the right to be "just a news channel" when they cover political issues for the entirety of the last year (Colin Kaepernick) as well as their main driver of content being the NFL, a league so far in bed with the military and everything patriotic that it feels like Roger Goodell is in active military service. I understand your point, domo, but you're arguing something that is just ridiculous. Everyone in here understands that corporations want to be neutral unless it benefits them, but because they're attempting to remain neutral doesn't mean that neutral in this situation is good.

    This thread moves to fast sometimes so I apologise if someone else has posted this. It's scary that major news outlets like AP ran with this story and headline when she never actually said that. Something like that only takes second's to fact check by watching the original video too.

  17. The answer is in this trump tweet btw - Schumer told him he'd be deporting the troops so he backed down

    But, they're not being neutral. They're choosing to side with the racists who were offended by her words.

    True neutral response from ESPN would just be: "She can say whatever, we don't care."

    I just got a Bernie neolib girl to go back to her safe space

    "It's my fb I can write what I want, leave me alone!"

    I mean, all I said was stop spreading inaccurate news and tried to explain to her that the things she thought were not factually correct. Silly.
