Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com Syndicate this site (XML) Powered by Movable Type	ESPN Turns ESPY Awards (Whatever the Fuck They Are) Into Black Lives Matter Rally Christian Toto says ESPN has transformed itself into a (lightly) sports-themed MSNBC. Larry O'Connor points out the glaring hypocrisy of ESPN turning itself into a left-wing political pageant while firing right-leaning people for expressing their political opinions in their private citizen capacity. A reader wrote to me and said he was taken by my description of ESPN as "The View for Men." I don't remember saying that, but I endorse it. ESPN is a girlish, gay chat channel like Bravo that features slightly less house-flipping and slightly more homoerotic tributes to the physical male ideal. It's evil, it's stupid, it's a waste of your time, and it's time to block the channel so that you're never tempted to give them your money ever again.

I was just starting to love it when it was the "All Bruce Jenner, All The Time" Award Show. Posted by: Cicero (@cicero) at July 14, 2016 03:36 PM (8ZskC) 8 I knew they fired Schilling for not bowing at the altar of liberalism and for having BadThoughts, but didn't know Ray Lewis got canned for it as well.

It's okay. You were probably drunk at the time. Posted by: Cicero (@cicero) at July 14, 2016 03:38 PM (8ZskC) 13 ESPN has devolved into MTV; a sports station which rarely broadcasts sports. The NBA, MLB, and the NFL twice a week. They hire criminals like Ray Lewis and fire people like Curt Schilling and Rush Limbaugh for nonsense. F them and their liberal agenda. Posted by: Wyatt Earp at July 14, 2016 03:38 PM (bc7LP) 14 I've never watched this channel before so no loss to Me...

Totally sucked. Posted by: Diogenes at July 14, 2016 03:39 PM (qt8uo) 17 It must be rough -- a (former) sports network having to be taken over by the same people who are decrying (real, American, not metric) football and boxing as barbaric sports that need to be shut down.

This is why we can't quit you. Posted by: Colorado Alex at July 14, 2016 03:39 PM (LUG6K) 19 Ooooh yeah, heavy on the homoerotic. They're just a wee bit too enamored by semi-nude male sports figures.

Posted by: boulder terlit hobo at July 14, 2016 03:40 PM (TIJv6) 24 Speaking of, Chris Berman never had talent. Ever. Annoying fat f*k.

Posted by: Skip at July 14, 2016 03:40 PM (bksJQ) 26 never watch any sports except pro wrestling sidebar: Speaking of bad fish, Lena Dunham agrees sushi is 'cultural appropriation'. where does she think tattooing comes from, Brooklyn? Idjit. per wikipedia: "The word tattoo, or tattow in the 18th century, is a loanword from the Polynesian word tatau, meaning "correct, workmanlike" " Posted by: mallfly SuPreme at July 14, 2016 03:40 PM (qSIlh) 27 The ESPYs. I watched part of the first ones way back when ESPN was actually about sports and Sports Center was funny. It was awful. Not only was it dull and stupid (awards for sports??) but they ran it like a group of rather dull 5th graders. The sound was messed, up nobody knew where to go, the production values were terrible. Its gotten slicker but gone downhill since then. Seriously, who watches award shows? Anyone here? Because... why? Posted by: Christopher Taylor at July 14, 2016 03:40 PM (39g3+) 28 Isn't ESPN the channel where sports is subservient to clever rhetorical deliveries with halting, awkward cadence with excess, distracting sound effects and graphics? It's now right up there with MTV. I guess. I don't watch either anymore. Posted by: AnonymousDrivel at July 14, 2016 03:40 PM (1CroS) 29 cut the cord, let cable die Posted by: brak at July 14, 2016 03:40 PM (MJuTN) 30 I always take the advice of over-paid, under-educated millionaire sports figures... Doesn't everyone? Posted by: donna at July 14, 2016 03:40 PM (O2RFr) 31 Per the new FCC, they are barely at an acceptable level of leftism. Posted by: Vashta Nerada at July 14, 2016 03:41 PM (7ZVPa) 32 ESPN makes "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" look like Levin TV in comparison. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at July 14, 2016 03:41 PM (27m1/) 33 I keep meaning to watch ESPN because that's how real men know what Eva Longoria's batting average is. Posted by: Bandersnatch at July 14, 2016 03:41 PM (1xUj/) 34 It's also by far the most expensive channel in the cable-tv lineup. At least the View is free. Posted by: Boots at July 14, 2016 03:41 PM (EBwPV) 35 Aren't they hosting a Town Hall about Race Relations with Obama, this week? Posted by: Harry Reid (D) at July 14, 2016 03:41 PM (VGG67) 36 anyway, if nothing else is on during the weekend, I'd just as soon watch those 'b-b-q pitmaster" reruns. Damn, the smoked briskets look good. Posted by: mallfly SuPreme at July 14, 2016 03:41 PM (qSIlh) 37 ESPN is also the spawning ground of Keith Olbermann. And as of this writing, I believe the old fish has returned.

Posted by: Christopher Taylor at July 14, 2016 03:40 PM (39g3+) As my old boss, winner of two Oscars by the way, used to say, "Awards are like hemorrhoids. Eventually every asshole gets one." Posted by: J.J. Sefton at July 14, 2016 03:42 PM (27m1/) 41 Yet another reason to avoid ESPN like the plague. It has become The View of spports. They should hire Whoopsy Goldstupid to do sideline announcing. Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at July 14, 2016 03:42 PM (mpXpK) 42 I watched the ESPYs on mute. When Craig Sager gave his speech, I could still hear his sportsjacket. Posted by: Roy at July 14, 2016 03:42 PM (VndSC) 43 Another pet peeve - the NHL gets short shrift at ESPN; probably because there are so few thugs and all the white privilege. Posted by: Wyatt Earp at July 14, 2016 03:42 PM (bc7LP) 44 Seven years without cable, and over twenty without watching network television. I haven't missed a thing.

Posted by: J.J. Sefton at July 14, 2016 03:44 PM (27m1/) 53 I don't know if pirating these channels is ethical or not, they promote lefties who agree with ~~stealing~~ taxing the hell out of me. So be Robin Hood. No sleep to be lost about it. Posted by: Guy Mohawk at July 14, 2016 03:44 PM (ODxAs) 54 why is there no Affirmative Action in college and professional sports so rosters reflect the current racial makeup of the US population? Posted by: Henry Hotlove at July 14, 2016 03:44 PM (u32s7) 55 It's called No Man's Sky because you won't meet any men on the 18 sqajillion planets in the system. Or women. I did see some space goats in the footage Posted by: boulder terlit hobo at July 14, 2016 03:44 PM (TIJv6) 56 47 I'd never tune in if they didn't hold college football hostage. Posted by: KhanCzerntrahl at July 14, 2016 03:43 PM (L7Eun) Yep. If I could get the Big Ten channel for free I would completely ignore ESPN.

Closer now. Posted by: Lena at July 14, 2016 03:46 PM (lDIk/) 63 ESPN is so bad that it's almost made me give up watching sports completely--even when games are on another channel... Posted by: JoeF. at July 14, 2016 03:46 PM (SGnIw) 64 re 48: when Dems call for a conversation, it means "be quiet and listen!" Posted by: mallfly SuPreme at July 14, 2016 03:46 PM (qSIlh) 65 why is there no Affirmative Action in college and professional sports so rosters reflect the current racial makeup of the US population? If they did that, there would have to be more white boys playing in the NBA and who would watch that? White men can't jump. Posted by: Borin Growler at July 14, 2016 03:46 PM (7vFaV) 66 Larry O'Connor points out the glaring hypocrisy of ESPN turning itself into a left-wing political pageant while firing right-leaning people for expressing their political opinions in their private citizen capacity. That sort of thing is happening in the governing bodies of a lot of sports. It's an epidemic. And the hypocrisy is hysterical - golf and tennis, for example, while being run by total leftist douchebaggy turds, have sold themselves to the UAE for a few pieces of silver. And remember those Australian swimmers who were sanctioned for having pictures taken of themselves with scary, scary guns in America.

Posted by: mallfly SuPreme at July 14, 2016 03:47 PM (qSIlh) 73 Plus almost every sports journalist is a typical lefty who is secretly insecure they can't cover "real" news and looks for every opportunity to give their political "insight." Posted by: brak at July 14, 2016 03:47 PM (MJuTN) 74 Cut the cable, starve the beast. You'll be happier without the constant stream of sewage that passes for modern TV flowing into your home, and you'll get to spend what you normally spend on your cable bill on other things. Posted by: Cato the Rebel Without a Party at July 14, 2016 03:47 PM (HalrA) 75 Keep in mind, the guy who slipped in a gentle ant-BLM message ("All Lives Matter") into the Canadian anthem before the MLB all-star game was summarily fired from the vocal group. The Left's dominance of the culture's opinion-shaping machinery is quite breathtaking. They are now drunk with power and utterly without a shred of fear. We have our work cut out.

Sefton at July 14, 2016 03:47 PM (27m1/) 78 About half of the 30 for 30 shows are decent but I catch them on...I think it's netflix. I guess that is still supporting them but I don't feel as dirty. But yeah, I will cut the cable in short order as soon as the NFL either goes completely girly or goes the way of MLB and allows streaming for all games. ESPN is a total shit show for the most part. Posted by: kahall at July 14, 2016 03:48 PM (xTgLs) 79 So a channel which regularly shows more guys with a criminal history than the clientele at a West Englewood Chicago pawn shop decides to say shit about violence and guns.

He did a lot of their video productions, including stuff for the women's basketball team. Apparently, when the women's team practiced with the men's team, the men weren't allowed to jump. It was how they evened the playing field. The Lady Vols, at the time (I have no idea now), were still top 5 in the nation at the time.

How do you get 1000 people to show up to shut down 405 Freeway in LA? Only thing I can come up with is Social Media.... FaceBook... Twitter... no way they are emailing or calling all these folks.... Sooo... now we have both FaceBook and Twitter Shadow banning, if not outright banning Conservative leaning groups.... thus making it HARD to organize to create counter protests...

And come to think of it, not yesterday but a couple of days ago, I caught an NPR piece talking about a devastated municipal economy. What was the source of the devastation? Not Obamanomics, silly rabbit. No, it was Wal-Mart. In this case, the closure of the local Wal-Mart. Now for many many years now, it's been a robotically chanted mantra on the left that Wal-Mart is pure evil. So why is closing one bad? Because the local liberal political pukes had taken the gusher of sales tax money which arrived with Wal-Mart, and spent wildly, and completely overcommitted the community finances, and now that the store is gone, holy cannoli, where's the money coming from now? The NPR piece didn't delve into demographics, but they did mention the name of the town (Fairfield, AL). I looked it up. Heavy black majority and a crime rate three times the national average. No wonder Wal-Mart had to bail. The shoplifting and inventory shrinkage numbers must have been horrific. Not to mention that now, the locals dependent upon EBT, WIC and SNAP to feed themselves have lost access to a key distribution arm of the welfare state. Anyway, it now seems that Wal-Mart are damned if they do and damned if they don't, so far as the left and NPR are concerned. Open a Wal-Mart? You're cruelly crushing mom and pop businesses! Close down a Wal-Mart? You're heartlessly denying the poor their access to entry level jobs and affordable merchandise!

The biggest d-bags in sports commentary have been the biggest successes so far, but Streaming Live events cuts into the monopoly on air time enjoyed by the Network/Cable kingmakers. Posted by: Lincolntf at July 14, 2016 04:22 PM (2cS/G) 283 Long run, what's the reason to be for ESPN? If I want to watch sports, I will directly contract with MLB, NFL, NCAA, etc. I can do most of that now, with the exception of the NCAA football. Disintermediation is a great thing.

BTW, I also have yet to feel any withdrawals. I used to think it was silly to boycott with your pocketbook, pageviews, etc, but now I'm on board. I also encourage people to drop a line on Twitter to ESPN to let them know how you feel. Companies take bad posts pretty seriously, and it's there for everyone to see. Fuck ESPN. Posted by: bathtubby at July 14, 2016 04:53 PM (5Feof) 414 ESPN duoed a solid 75% of the nation with "Deflategate", conveniently shifting the focus from black athletes beating women and children onto a white athlete accused of possibly being aware of improper PSI in athletic equipment.

Yes, videos are still being made. You might occasionally have to endure a commercial. But if you searcj for then click on an artists name then add 'playlist' - most likely you're going to find hours of music and video from that artist. It's really pretty damn good. At a certain end point in the playlist you're gonna find some really bad stuff. But that's why G-d invented the remote.

Posted by: steve walsh at July 14, 2016 05:15 PM (xDQNc) 419 ESPN morning show is awful -that Sabrina Morales isn't so good at the talking part of being a sports anchor and all you get is "highlights" from the chosen star of the year; watching 30 to 40 clips of Steph Curry shooting a 3 in the course of a 3 minute segment is a bit much. Been watching Hannah Montana reruns in the AM instead. Posted by: Henry Hotlove at July 14, 2016 05:24 PM (u32s7) 420 ESPN shows so little sports that I never end up going to that channel. They seem to be all about propaganda now. So I have no reason to "boycott" the channel. They already boycott me by refusing to show anything I'd be interested in watching.

There hot take coverage is awful, their big market focus is annoying to those of us who actually like sports regardless of whether its the Yankees or Royals playing. There over coverage of the NFL & under coverage of sports they don't have contracts with sucks. I was hoping Fox Sports 1 was going to be a channel for actual sports fans, but instead it just copied the ESPN hot take formula. Posted by: Blooshier at July 14, 2016 10:23 PM (TXtUa) 425 ESPN may have gone "A Bridge Too Far" today, hosting President Obama's townhall on gun violence, an overtly political presentation with no sports connection whatsoever. The comments on their Facebook page were overwhelmingly negative, with about half being in the vein of, "That's it. We're done." ESPN's advertisers must have had an earful, or else ESPN saw the comments and realized they had pushed the envelope to a point that threatened to damage them severely with their core audience. In any case, ESPN yanked the whole thing off Facebook before I had a chance to add my own, "That's it, I'm done." But too late, former sports network; I AM done, and not just with your network. I'm tired of having one-sided politics shoved down my throat on a constant basis from every quadrant of the entertainment world. My wife and I are cutting the cable. Pretty sure I can live without it at this point. Posted by: Bitsko at July 15, 2016 12:34 AM (e8vZr) 426 ESPN hasn't shied away from its open racism lately. They allow Kevin Blackison to essentially excuse the Dallas killings, Mike Wilbon continuously calls white quarterbacks "fair haired and fragile" and other comments saying they're weak and protected, and now they're airing another Obama infomercial cohosted by BLM cheerleader and anti-cop ass Jemele Hill Posted by: Rbastid at July 15, 2016 12:43 AM (jlGrk) 427 I've been saying for years ESPN is just like watching The View.

ESPN costs subscribers almost as much as all the other channels combined - and if you get cable or satellite, you have no choice, you pay for the Extra Shtty Poof Network...
