#Woke ESPN Radio Host: Isn't It Funny That Jonathan Isaacs, Who Refused to Take a Knee, Suffered a Season-Ending Knee Injury?

The comfortable corporate left does nothing but snarl and sneer at their betters.

Last Friday, Jonathan Isaac of the Orlando Magic, who is an ordained Christian minister, became the first NBA player to refuse to kneel for the national anthem; he also would not wear the Black Lives Matter T-shirt his teammates were wearing.

On Sunday, as the Magic played the Sacramento Kings, Isaac suffered a season-ending ACL injury, which prompted ESPN radio host Dan Le Batard to post a poll question asking whether people thought the injury was "funny."

In case you're wondering, yes, "Le Batard" does in fact mean "the bastard."

Outkick the Coverage calls Le Batard's casualness and celebrating a gruesome injury an example of leftwing privilege:

Le Batard's show is the epitome of far-left sports coverage. A player standing is so bothersome that it justified laughing at a gruesome injury.

Could you imagine Le Batard running a similar poll if Colin Kaepernick went down with an injury? Of course not. He’d be met with a termination letter before he had time to check his Twitter account.


...


As is the case in any industry, employees know what they can get away with, and what they can’t. So, those in favor of the double standard, push it until they go too far.

Let's check in to see how the ESPN television network is doing -- they've seen a lot of losses in subscriber base for going on ten years now. Has that finally stabilized?

Spoiler Alert: Fuck nope.

This article from June 26th notes that ESPN had lost a lot of viewers, then cut back on all of its #Woke programming to pull itself out of the ditch.

But then they recently decided #Yolo, and went hardcore SJW again.

And they shed viewers again.


With no sports in sight, ESPN has decided to dedicate its 24-hour sports network to radical social justice, and their fanbase has fled faster than women fled the Titanic.

2 weeks ago, ESPN did its lowest viewership in the 41-year history of the network. Abandoning sports altogether, ESPN has spent the last month of their coverage on the death of George Floyd and race relations in America. These are fine topics for CNN and MSNBC but not for the worldwide leader in sports.

...


Then ESPN tripled down on woke with The Undefeated, a Sportcenter special that sought to teach it’s audiences about white privilege.




The special drew only 100,000 viewers, the lowest in 25 years for the network. ESPN once again proves to its audience that they are a sports network that doesn’t want to talk about sports.

The PGA was higher-viewed than all but one game played in the NBA, the NHL, and in MLB.

Get Woke, Go Broke.

A lot of businesses which deserve to die -- which seem to want to die -- are being kept alive by PPP loans.

We'll see what happens once these #Woke businesses payrolls are no longer being paid directly by the US taxpayers.

Especially when combined with Disney's $5 billion loss last quarter and the $6 billion loan they took out a few months ago.

If they were independent, I suspect they wouldn't have survived this long. The sustained negative growth is something no CEO would have been able to survive and no company weather.

But, since it's a small part of Disney through ABC, it gets a lot of support.

And, of course, the fact that they are supported by the fact that they are regularly included in cable packages and have long ago negotiated very generous terms for themselves in those arrangements.

77 I don't do cable TV at all, so ESPN - a station I never watched - is no big loss.

But, are they doing this shit on say, cooking shows? Are certain dishes just not prepared because "white"? I'd assume tuna casserole would be a white person's dish. Maybe the posterchild of white dishes. Or meatloaf. But if you tried to cook something else, is that cultural appropriation?

Sorry, but you aren't allowed to cook fried chicken and collard greens on the show. But it's racist to associate blacks with that, so fried chicken doesn't even exist. Black eyed peas? WTF is wrong with you?

Same same Hollywood, Disney.

A perfectly appropriate Trumpian move would be for Trump to order no official military support to any pro sports operation where anthem/flag procedures are not the same as during the American era of America. I know he can order that for active-duty forces (no color guards, no flyovers, zip), but I wonder about NG, who I think often provide the color guards.

Actually, would be pretty lame if he *doesn't* do what he can to deny any official military support to these businesses that have enthusiastically joined the racist-totalitarian idiots now vandalizing the country.

You know, the political left has certainly played a role in destroying sports. But it's not exclusively the political left. Sports with a large number of black players have increasingly adopted a ghetto-like culture. Think Randy Moss, who was quite a while ago now. That's not overtly political, so much as cultural. Maybe socio-political. But it's not pure SJWism. There's a lot of things that have gone haywire with sports for a long time now.

And ESPN and its sisters should remember something from a few years ago, I think during the Furguson, MO riots. Remember when Starbucks did their "let's talk about race" bullshit when labeling coffee cups for pickup? And the backlash and humiliation they faced?

Remember it, ESPN. Remember it well. And fire Le Batard while you're at it. His shtick has been boring for a long time, he has a voice for print, and he's an SJW asshole.

217 I am sorry about Mr. Isaac' injury and I hope he fully recovers. He did they right thing by not kneeling and standing up for his faith. What comes to mind is John 15:18 where Jesus says, "Before they hated you, they hated me." Being a Christian minister, I'm sure Rev Issacs is aware of that phrase and is probably praying for Mr. Le Batard.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke

I read this story a few days ago, and I thought that Jonathan Isaac's remarks were very well put and expressed, prior to his injury.
He is a Man of Faith, and was putting the issue of changing hearts and minds in the Hands of God, outside the hands of men.
I thought it was a very well expressed sentiment. And yes, they hated Jesus before they hated anyone else for His divine nature and His message.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-53721759

Backstory:
At a national park in Mexico, a bear walked up to some visitors and started sniffing the woman's hair. She thought it was funny so she took a selfies with the bear. Then the bear got even more intrigued and started sniffing around her crotch and butt. (In reality, she probably was on her period or was exuding some kind of estrogen pheromones, that attracted the bear, who are hyper-sentive to hormonal smells.)

Anyway, "to protect the public," the Mexican authority tranqed and then castrated the horny bear, as punishment for his Biden-esque behavior.

Will America stand up for the manly bears of this world?

Posted by: Mr. Peebles

They are tuned into the majority/minority culture inside most pro sports.

The majority of pro-athletes are African American. Most of them harbor this oppression mind set. Like Lebron James. The guy is a multi-millionaire, and has been ass-kissed so much in his life, he thinks it's normal. The oppression is TERRIBLE!

A lot of pro-athletes are like this, whether they are white or black. They are so precious and entitled.

And that's why sports whores and camp followers like Le Batard and the rest of his cronies at ESPN are all SJW drum bangers.

276 college football drama contined:
Now Nebraska coach has tweeted that he will be willling to play in a differnt league if Big 10 cancels.
(Not as dramatic as Ohio State, but still)
Apparently the evil Big 10 Commissioner has a son who plays football in the SEC.
Posted by: artemis at August 10, 2020 04:18 PM (AwPyG)

I'm really pissed off about this entire stupid drama. Harbaugh , who I am not typically quoting as an Ohio State Alum, has an excellent point by point statement as to the exact number of tests over the exact number of weeks and the exact number of positive test results Michigan Football has had in the last eight weeks.

Something like three when student athletes first returned to campus, NONE in staff, coaches, etc. and no athlete has tested positive in the last 325 plus tests performed in the last month. They have full protocols in place that their players are following that were developed and implemented by medical professionals at U/M . As have other schools, particularly those associated with medical research hospitals.

From several AD's and coaches statements, it appears that their dingbat university presidents have never discussed nor visited their athletic facilities to observe in person the protocols. Yet they are making very detrimental decisions about athletes being able to practice and play with zero information other than the stupid shit they read or see online or their lawyers are telling them.

Ohio State's new female president doesn't officially begin her job until the 24th, although she has been on these conference calls.

For those who say they don't care about sports or think it's great that college athletics may be cancelled, you need to look at the bigger picture. This stupid , non scientific rationale for locking down sports is the same rationale being used to lock people out of the jobs. None of this is science based, it's all political and power bullshit.

John Force, 16 time NHRA champion announced over the weekend he was shutting down ALL of his racing teams for the remainder of the year. He said he cannot afford to keep his shops open and employees on the payroll and race on such a limited schedule. He has obligations to his sponsors to meet and greet fans, make appearances, etc. and none of that is happening and those appearances are part of his income for his business. He said the NHRA racing schedule is such that it is impossible for him to make the numbers work . He and his sponsors can keep his teams intact and plan to race next year, but not if he tries to race anymore this year.

There may not be a vaccine and if there is in the winter, so what? No vaccine is 100% effective and the goal posts have now been moved to where the goal is NO cases at all . None.

Go out at night in warm weather and either wear a headlamp or hold a flashlight at eye level matching the angle of your vision, then walk around while looking at the ground. The little spider eyes will reflect back at you.

316 301 A BLM mob swarmed a black Milwaukee cop's girlfriend's house in an attempt to assault him. They vandalized the home and shot at it with a shotgun. There were children inside. They targeted him because he's been involved in three justified police shootings. The cop attempted to talk to the mob, but they started throwing punches. Shortly after that the shotgun was fired.

321 Sometime last year, a thread went haywire, as they
often do. Somehow the topic of "surprise anal" came up, and the 'rons
starting delving into the topic. The 'ettes, meanwhile, were discussing
the cuteness of otters (I forget whether they were sea otters or river
otters). The streams crossed, and the "surprise anal otter" AoS meme was
born. Thus the otters sneaking up behind you, lying in wait, and being
generally up to no good...

The guy watching 12 hours of football is 30 lbs overnight and can barely walk up the stairs without shortness of breath. Meanwhile the guy who goes for 50 mile bike rides couldnt name 5 NFL teams if his life depended on it.

Don't forget, we all need to be using archive today to create archives of these articles. This avoids giving them any revenue. You don't even need to go to the site yourself, just right click the link and copy the link location. Then, go to "archive.is".

The advantage to doing this is it also bypasses paywalls, so you get to read the article instead of looking at some fucking banner saying pay up.

Mozilla has started blocking this site because they're a bunch of commie scum. Other sites might start, but the internet archive is compromised now.

It just takes a minute to create the archive, and many times somebody else has already done it - so you just copy the link when the page comes up.

341 Here's my problem with the concept of "privilege" as it is spoken of, here. It is a way to make an individual responsible for the collective. It is a way to make every member of that collective the same as every other member. It is a way to make each individual person in

I don't believe that you can deal with a person solely as the member of a group. A person is a person. That person has had advantages and disadvantages. That's true for everybody, no matter what they're background.

Look, when you treat people as if the only important thing about them is the set of arbitrary collections of people they belong to, then you are condensing all those individual people into a set of statistics. That's analogous to condensing all of a territory onto a map. It's handy to have a map. A map will tell you all kinds of things that you might need to know, but you should never mistake the map for the territory. The concept of "privilege" mistakes the map for the territory.

I had a good friend who had a son who was a decent offensive lineman in high school, in a smaller Texas town. He started both his junior and senior years, and thought he was pretty good. Decided to try out for A&M's team after he graduated, went down to their football camp. After a week he showed up back home, and his dad asked "son, what you doing back here so quick?"

And he said "Daddy, they had us line up against some of the guys on the team, and I never been hit that hard in my life. I didn't even know anyone COULD hit you that hard! I'm done." He found a nice major and stuck to schoolwork after that.

Prof. Cliff Mass is a really smart guy, (and Jewish btw) and the npr station that fired him was almost put out of business about 5 years ago by selling out to the Seattle npr station. He has been the local go-to guy in Western Wa for weather events for the press for decades.

There was an amazing fundraiser to get $6 million to buy the station to public ownership and keep their format.

Prof. Mass, their part-time weather expert, was a big part of getting that money raised.

And they fired his azz because he told the truth.

I heard that too, from a couple of bugologists from Texas AM. Small grain of salt.

I've got a coworker that had a similar experience. He enrolled at Kentucky and tried to walk on as a running back. He said he lasted one practice.

392 Same dumb shit as FOX going woke... there comes a point when "imitating the success of others" becomes "trying to compete with an established, totally saturated market."

The wokefolk have all the entertainment they can use, and then an order of magnitude more. It's a drug on the market.

393 I stayed away from sports in HS (which, let's face it, is all HS is about, anyways). The odd thing is that (when 100%, which I am not back to yet) I still engage in bike riding and running, and hike plenty, so I've always done things individually. Organized athletics, which just has too many people, just wasn't my thing.

I love to catch NFL and NBA games - well, that is, until my team said "I was for them or against them" in their cause and the Spurs are incredibly "woke" with a Socialist coach. I'll sit out until they come correct, and if they never come correct - well, so be it.

400 My nephew went from Div2 to Div1, His Friend told him to transfer, He showed up in Shape and out ran everyone. He started every game for Canisius Soccer and he started over his friend that asked him to transfer. He feels bad for his friend but he worked his ass off, They did move Soccer to Spring so he didn't lose a season.

402 341 Here's my problem with the concept of "privilege" as it is spoken of, here. It is a way to make an individual responsible for the collective. It is a way to make every member of that collective the same as every other member. It is a way to make each individual person in

I don't believe that you can deal with a person solely as the member of a group. A person is a person. That person has had advantages and disadvantages. That's true for everybody, no matter what they're background.

Look, when you treat people as if the only important thing about them is the set of arbitrary collections of people they belong to, then you are condensing all those individual people into a set of statistics. That's analogous to condensing all of a territory onto a map. It's handy to have a map. A map will tell you all kinds of things that you might need to know, but you should never mistake the map for the territory. The concept of "privilege" mistakes the map for the territory.
Posted by: Cybersmythe at August 10, 2020 05:08 PM (edlKR)

The whole concept of "privilege" to me is simply fucking stupid.

Some years I got RIFed from AD (but I stayed on in the Reserves) and figured it would be no problem trying to land a decent-paying job with the skill set I learned in the military. HAH! Years gone by and I can't get my big toe in the door for a decent entry-level management job in countless places. I am convinced at this point that I will have to personally know about 300 million people to have a hope of getting such a thing anywhere.

I figured being a veteran might mean something, but while that might mean a free meal at the airport, or on Veterans Day, or lots of "thank you for your service" (which is not unappreciated), when it comes to getting a decent paying job, people balk at the prospect. (So I scrape by on what I currently have because I have to do what I have to do.)

So when I start hearing about this "white privilege", I think to myself, "where's mine"?

403 One doesn't subscribe to ESPN. You get it as part of your cable subscription. If you have cable, you are paying ESPN about $100 a year. The alternatives are packages that do not have ESPN, including a basic package around $15 that they are required to provide by law, and some companies will have packages that exclude ESPN, including Sling.

409 ESPN, CNN, etc. have a steady cash flow paid by the monopolist cable providers. Only cutting the cord will kill that cash flow.
