I'm still shaking my head at this tweet. I guess I've learned something today. Being white means appreciating quality programming?

I've read it 4 times, can you interpret? I apparently don't do cool.

Caucasity is one of those words found in the urban dictionary. It's a made up word meaning the things white people do. IE: The absolute whiteness of they're (sic) not watching your show, so it shouldn't be on is (making her laugh 'til tears.)

The fact I actually recognized the word is a little disturbing to me. :shock:

Hence,

Being white means appreciating quality programming?

And, for what it's worth, I have watched their show once. Once. In my opinion, horrible programming.

I wasn't even close.

Brett McMurphy out. I thought he did a pretty good job.

What the hell does being white have to do with Jamele being an idiot and ESPN laying off employees?

And, the answer is "not a damn thing." It's a tweet I'm tempted to reply to...temptation that only goes so far. Remember this tweet from yesterday? There's a reason and it doesn't have to do with skin color.

Latest tv numbers I could find of Jamele's latest spot...doubt she's going anywhere.

Take note of this post because you won't find me complimenting Clay Travis often, if at all, outside of today. He does resort to his "smarmy" self in conclusion with the tweets to ESPN's communication guy.

Hammer meets nail (sans the word "Middle.")

Middle America wants to pop a beer and listen to sports talk, they don't want to be lectured about why Caitlyn Jenner is a hero, Michael Sam is the new Jackie Robinson of sports, and Colin Kaepernick is the Rosa Parks of football. ESPN made the mistake of trying to make liberal social media losers happy and as a result lost millions of viewers. - Outkick

I agree wholeheartedly.

A vast % of their viewer base (college FB) is in pockets of largely conservative populace.

When they started going full libtatd SJW mode, they lost a metric fuck-ton of viewers.

metric fuck-ton

I don't know why I find that funny.
