Attacking one-side view is fair game
ESPN’S Jemele Hill likely doesn’t know how lucky — privileged — she is. See, if our bosses had just told us to cut it out, but we did it again, we wouldn’t be suspended for two weeks, as she was; we’d be fired. But after calling President
Trump a white supremacist, she reloaded and called for a boycott of Cowboys commercial partners because team owner Jerry
Jones insists that national anthem protests among his players — his extremely well-paid employees — now cease.
Again, here we have unbalanced, highly selective social and racial activism and outrage, not a hint of objective fair-mindedness.
After all, we don’t recall her call to financially boycott teams that sign or retain players who have beaten women, abandon children born to “baby mamas” or tote illegal weapons, one in the chamber.
And she has indulged ESPN’s frequent “special guest” appearances of unspeakably and unprintably vulgar rappers who promote and cash in big on every heart-breaking, blood-spilling backwards stereotype of black America — especially rappers who have helped resuscitate the N-word while boasting of their sexual degradation of women as hit-the-road whores, bitches and worse.
And though Trump tweet-raps his own undignified put-down garbage, how and why did Hill ignore how President Obama, father of two daughters, happily posed with and praised such repulsive lyricists and recording “artists,” accepting their endorsements and donations — no good questions asked? Or was Obama a big fan of Jay
Z’s and Snoop Dogg’s but ignorant of their lyrics?
Ms. Hill might also explain how such a financial boycott will benefit the future earnings
and good and welfare of NFL players and their families.
Wednesday on FS1, another why-bother? Skip Bayless
Shannon Sharpe was about quarterbacks. Sharpe said he likes the Eagles’ Carson Wentz for his ability to run, “and he’s a white QB.”
OK, and no offense taken. Despite his indisputable racial profiling, we we get it.
But if a white debater said he’s disappointed in a black QB because he’s slow on the run thus doesn’t meet the expectations of a black QB, that speaker would be fired before the next sunrise.
